Own a piece of Chester county history on this legacy property in the highly acclaimed West Chester Area School District (Rustin/Stetson/Starkweather). At one time this unique residence served as the stables of the Rokeby Stock Farm. It is now a modern home sited on 2.8 acres. Accessed by a private drive, 1 Huntrise Lane is available for sale for the first time in over 15 years. This property has been lovingly and carefully renovated by its current owners, including major investments like geothermal heating and cooling, structural enhancements, a whole house generator, new windows and doors, functional wood burning fireplaces, and modern kitchens and bathrooms. Visitors can enter via majestic French doors or from the historic iron gates into a stunning courtyard with fountain. Inside the home, you will be impressed by the open concept design, including the original beams and repurposed wood accents. Custom millwork, soaring ceilings, and rich hardwood floors accommodates grand scale entertaining as well as daily living. The primary kitchen addresses your modern culinary needs with an abundance of storage and countertop area. There is also a “bar kitchen” between the first floor family room and the billiard room, and steps from the pool and patio. An elegant open stairway takes you to another family living area, which includes 5 bedrooms and an open family/game area, in addition to the laundry room and an in-law suite.**There is a chairlift at this staircase which can remain in place, or can be removed with no damage to the stairs. Ask for Photo.**There are many unfinished interior areas to the property allowing the next owners to customize and utilize the space for their personal and/or professional needs.**NOTE the low property taxes.**Despite its private locale, Huntrise Lane is surprisingly convenient to West Chester Borough, and to an abundance of shopping necessities (Giant, Wegmans, Whole Foods, Costco, Target, Terrain, Starbucks and more within 2 miles) and commuting routes. Only minutes from routes 202, 322, and US-1/Baltimore Pike.**Huntrise Lane is a private drive enjoyed by only 4 residences. Please do not access the lane without an appointment. All showings must be provided by the listing agent or the Seller, so please allow ample notice on showing requests.**
