805 W Market St, West Chester, PA 19382

Welcome to the BARN at 805 W Market St! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a work of art! Originally built by the famed civil war era architect Frank Furness, whose lineage consists of Louis Sullivan and then the GREAT Frank Lloyd Wright! From conception to completion, this unique space has always been more than a home to the current owner/ builder and all who have had the pleasure of entering it! Conceptually the owner wanted to "put a metal box inside of a wooden box" and so he did, with mindful craft paying homage to F L W and his peers. Inside of this exquisite 9,000 square foot barn sits a reinforced constructed 2000 square foot NYC /Greenwich village style Loft. Modeled after multi-million dollar homes, this thoughtful utilitarian modern/rustic design leaves the owners 7000 square feet of year-round indoor-outdoor living space accented by its hypnotizing waves of roof trusses, soaring 30 feet above. While it could be possible to recreate this whimsical package of practicality and luxury it would NOT be possible to do so within WALKING DISTANCE TO THE BOROUGH OF WEST CHESTER! This time capsule property is nestled on 1.1 acres of Chester county country side next to a 10 acre reserve, which cannot be developed. Next to that is the original Mansion house, which center core dates back to the 1700’s, with all its splendor and glory, including a Frank Furness Library addition! The true feeling of the countryside, while being smack dab in the middle of town. No parking worries, no noisy neighbors. And best of all EXTREMELY low maintenance! This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home rests at the end of bustling Market street in downtown West Chester, just a stone’s throw from all the borough shops and dining. You can walk into town for dinner or enjoy a quiet meal prepared at home in this chef's kitchen featuring 2 commercial refrigeration units, and a concrete waterfall kitchen island. The lower level of the barn also features parking for 6 cars as well as great storage and or additional indoor-outdoor living space, including plans for a unique entertainment area/outdoor kitchen, and full old colonial tavern in the original stables.
