Description

Historic Carriage House with Timeless Charm in Schuylkill Township Welcome to the original carriage house of the historic Supplee Dairy Farm—offered for the first time in over 50 years. Built circa 1800, this distinctive home blends early-American character with thoughtful modern additions (1982 and 2002), offering 4,916 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths—all nestled in a private, landscaped setting in sought-after Schuylkill Township. A Pennsylvania bluestone walkway lined with mature trees leads to a charming red brick path that opens into the home’s inviting courtyard. Surrounded by lush perennial gardens and manicured hedges, the courtyard features multiple seating areas, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A covered front porch welcomes guests, while a lower-level double-door entrance opens to a dramatic two-story foyer, showcasing exposed stone walls and generous natural light. Inside, the updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a built-in coffee bar with glass-front accents and under-cabinet lighting. The adjoining dining room includes original built-ins, space to comfortably seat eight, and a floor-to-ceiling picture window that frames the beautiful view of the private courtyard and surrounding gardens. The historic charm continues in the original sitting room, where stone walls, hand-hewn wooden beams, and a wood-burning fireplace create a cozy atmosphere. At the back of the home, a vaulted-ceiling bonus room with propane fireplace, custom shelving, and expansive windows offers beautiful garden views and direct access to a side patio lined with mature boxwoods and the private side yard. Upstairs, the primary suite sits privately in its own wing with a spacious walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower. The other side of the house features three additional bedrooms and a full bath providing comfortable accommodations for family or guests. An attached heated studio—formerly a floral design workshop—is now an art studio and workshop with water access, offering great potential for a home office, in-law suite, or creative space. The original milk house remains on the property, perfect for storing gardening tools or future repurposing. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines rich history, unique architectural features, and modern comfort—all within a welcoming neighborhood known for its top-rated schools, scenic surroundings, and strong sense of community. It’s a home designed for living, gathering, and growing.
