We are honored to have been selected to offer at auction with the owner’s confirmation, the original homestead of Maplewood Farm, located on Taylortown Road in the Village of Taylortown in Dunkard Township. This stately and well-maintained Civil War era 2-story brick home features the original wide-plank floors, magnificently carved oak woodwork, plaster walls with high ceilings (some with tin panels), cut-stone foundation and beautiful stained glass windows. Totally renovated and updated, the home has 4 large bedrooms, 3 modern bath rooms, a parlor living room with fireplace, a formal dining room with built in china cupboard, and a large eat-in kitchen with wood cabinets, hand made to match the still in place originals. Tastefully added twenty years ago while keeping with the original style of the home, is a large family room, complete with indoor hot-tub, a two car garage, and a second floor reading nook. The home also has an enormous, fully covered side porch. The home is served by public water, has an on-lot septic system, gas hot water heat (electric heat in bedrooms), zoned central air and a circular driveway accessed from a state-maintained paved road.
