Enter from the off-street parking area on County Line Rd to this William Thomas House, an authentic c. 1796 colonial home that was the toll keeper"s home on the Lancaster Turnpike. The current Owners have made significant, structural upgrades that enhance the quality and value of this home. They have also added high-end additional features, a list of which are included with the Sellers" Disclosure. These upgrades plus this home in a lush setting make this not only a unique home but a rare find on the Lower Main Line. Enter from a homey porch into a dining room with an entrance to a warm and functional kitchen with custom built-ins, soapstone sink and more. As in the sought after open floor plan of today, the kitchen area opens to a comfy, spacious family room. This entire area is surrounded by windows which offer a sun-filled living area. There is a more formal, windowed living room that has, as does the entire first floor, warm, wide-planked hardwood flooring, areas of which have been installed replicating the original floor. There is also a powder room on the first floor. Opposite the front door is a stairway to the second floor whose bedrooms follow the integrity of the period. There is a spacious, modern full bath with whirlpool tub, separate glass enclosed shower and an anteroom with stacked washer/dryer. This is a stunning property in a sylvan setting yet within a few blocks to the R5 train to the City and western suburbs. It is also convenient to the shops, entertainment and restaurants of Bryn Mawr and the colleges and universities the Main Line offers. It is easy to fall in love with this wonderful farmhouse!
