I MUST HAVE THIS HOUSE! Quite a declaration. Yet a true sentiment for countless reasons, includingits origin as a circa 1877 school. Surrounded by 24 acres of deed restricted conservancy land, this original School House of Lower Salford was part of the Drew Lewis Estate. The breathtaking property sublime in natural beauty, with majestic trees and lush greenery sets the scene for a quintessential home. A home unlike any other. A smile begins to form as you look up to the original bell tower, imagining children running to class in response. Walk up the brick path and see not one, but two welcoming covered porches, each beckoning to share something very special inside. The smile blossoms into total happiness as you discover the front door with original entry key and other preserved treasures. What a joy to ring the school bell that piques your appreciation of the exquisite character of the consummate home.
