About This Home

226 Barren Rd

Welcome to this meticulously preserved 1850 farmhouse, offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern conveniences. This thoughtfully updated residence boasts 5 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms across 2,454 square feet. Modern amenities include an on-site well with filtration, public sewer, and a natural gas heating system for optimal comfort. A Generac 20kw backup generator ensures piece of mind. Situated directly across from the picturesque trails of Tyler Arboretum, with seamless connections to Ridley Creek State Park and the Wawa Preserve via Rocky Run, this home provides an idyllic setting for nature lovers. Step inside to discover the timeless beauty of wide heart pine flooring found throughout, deep window sills, and antique door hardware that speaks to its Civil War era origins. The inviting covered front porch with a view will no doubt be a popular spot while sipping on a cup of coffee or reading your favorite book. The main level features a spacious Den with an inviting wood-burning fireplace and exposed beam ceiling, perfect for cozy evenings. Continue down the hall and you will adore the eat-in kitchen area equipped with plenty of cabinetry, countertop space, and stainless steel appliances. The formal dining area and living room really add to the character of this amazing property. You will find a convenient laundry room and mud room on the main floor, perfect for your four legged friends to eat, drink, and towel off from a fun day in the fully fenced in front and backyard! Head up to the second floor and you will be greeted by three bedrooms and an updated full bathroom with a tub. But wait there's more! Walk down the hall to the next staircase leading up to the third floor and you will be delighted to see two additional bedrooms or create your own space for any need. The exterior is equally impressive, featuring a 2-car detached garage with openers, a storage loft, and a lower-level workshop, office, or simply additional space to lounge. There is another covered porch overlooking the meticulously maintained vegetable garden and fire pit area. The enchanting fenced in backyard offers a small pond with Koi and a charming brick patio with Malibu lighting.
