Take a trip back in time as you drive down the private tree lined drive to the hidden secret in Cinnaminson. This farmhouse, circa 1750 lies tucked away in three and a half acres of your own quiet sanctuary. The remarkable setting is where you will find a quiet glimpse of the past and forget about today's worries.The home features a spacious living room that is perfect for large family gatherings. There is a formal dining room and eat in kitchen. The oversized family room has a cozy gas stove and has a door to step outside to a large patio perfect for outdoor entertaining. The second floor features four bedrooms with large closets and two full baths. The 3rd level has two additional large bedrooms and another full bath. This home is a history buff's dream. In 1889 Samuel L. Allen, the owner at that time, was both a farmer and an inventor. It was here in one of the outbuildings that he invented and patented the Flexible Flyer "the famous steering sled with the non-skid runners" for his children. His name can still be seen today, as it was burned and stamped in one of the original doors. Stepping back outside, the peaceful surroundings, mature trees and sprawling yard make you feel like you have your own secluded retreat. There is inground pool to relax in on those warm summer days! The original outbuildings including two barns, a smoke house and well are all reminders of a long ago, but not forgotten past. There is a barn style garage with 7 open bays to park your cars . There is over 3500 sq feet of living space with plenty of roomfor storage. All this endless charm, yet conveniently located and easily accessible to local restaurants, shops and downtown Philly.
