About 8838 Edelweiss Rd
Escape to an oasis just an hour from Philadelphia and two hours from New York City. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises over rolling farmland, serenaded by birdsong. Tucked into 12.5 secluded acres, this one-of-a-kind property has been transformed by two artists who brought their creative vision to life—melding traditional charm with a modern palate. This property invites you to slow down and savor life. Whether it’s walking down to the farm stand for home-grown vegetables and fresh cut flowers or hiking miles of the private, peaceful wooded trails. Named Edelweiss, after the rare alpine flower symbolizing noble purity and enduring beauty, this home is a tribute to thoughtful design and outdoor living. Extensively renovated and rich in texture, the home features an unexpectedly open layout anchored by a chef's kitchen with hardwood floors and concrete counters. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a central sitting room with a cozy woodstove, heating much of the first floor. Sunlight pours through large windows in the vibrant living and dining areas, illuminating hardwood floors and offering ever-changing views of the surrounding countryside. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms with ample closets and three beautifully updated full baths—including a luxurious primary suite with radiant heated floors. The expansive lower level adds even more flexibility, offering a family room with a brick fireplace, walk-out access to a pergola-covered patio, a private office, and generous storage and utility spaces. Outside, the expansive deck, with a sunken firepit, is perfect for entertaining and gazing at the stars. The land itself becomes your playground. ATV adventures, a tree fort, areas for bonfires, and panoramic views of nearby farmland, every season brings new ways to connect with nature. The classic two-story red barn is ideal for any builder or storing your gear—be it outdoor equipment, tools, or the weekend toys, more space then you've always wanted. Whether you're seeking a weekend sanctuary or a full-time escape from the bustle, this property offers the kind of lifestyle that once felt out of reach. Welcome to luxury—Edelweiss style.
