Maplewood Farmhouse: Milanville, PA

About The Property

Introducing Maplewood Farmhouse, a newly renovated c.1880 home located on 1.4 acres of the picturesque and pastured rolling hills of Damascus, PA. After a century and a half, a new life has been breathed into this classic PA foursquare. The original character restored by removing walls there were added over the years, taking it back to its original flow. New Andersen windows and ample insulation have brought the home up to date for heating and cooling. Updated systems – new plumbing, electric, septic will keep the home low maintenance for the full or part-time owner.

Currently set up as a 3 bedroom, there are opportunities to easily add an additional bedroom or two if needed. The kitchen and washer/dryer were just installed. Two bathrooms have been brought up to contemporary standards. The lower floor has a shower, the second floor has a bath and separate shower.

The original floors run throughout have just been refinished and are striking in their solidity and beauty. The wood stove will heat the home in the winter, working in conjunction with the split units. In the summer those same units will cool and dehumidify for those dog days of summer.

There is a separate dining room just by the wood stove which could be converted to a bedroom. The main living room is generously sized. There is a den adjacent which could be a library, TV room or another bedroom.

The old front door is still in use. It leads to a Normal Rockwell front porch – just insert rocking chair and lapdog. The view from there is lovely, not only of the giant and ancient sugar maple, but of distant farmland.

Upstairs the primary bedroom is, quite simply, ginormous. There is such a nice feeling of openness and light. The other two bedrooms are spacious and perfect for the kiddos or guests.

The garage is a great perc. Park inside and enter the home through a passageway. There is a handy woodshed to keep wood dry all year, letting the wood season.

Minutes away is Milanville, a tiny town that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Narrowsburg, NY is only 11 minutes away. There you will find the closest groceries, restaurants and cultural activities.
Callicoon, NY is only 20 minutes.
