Area Description: Located in rural Southwestern Pennsylvania just 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh and its International Airport, the property is surrounded by executive homes with generous acreage as well as farm land. This potential Inn sits between Lawrence and Butler counties within walking distance to historic Kennedy Mill Gorge on the Slippery Rock Creek. Popular nearby attractions include McConnell’s Mill, Moraine State Park and the Grove city Outlets. The picturesque towns of Volant and Harmony offer museums, art galleries, restaurants and winery stores. The nearby Amish community provides access to their crafts, custom furniture, bake goods and fresh produce. New Wilmington’s Westminster College, Slippery Rock University and Grove City College offer a variety of cultural and sports events to the public. Easy access to Interstate 79, Route 422 and Interstate 80 allow for travel to many more interesting destinations in all directions.
Site Description: Built in 1937 as a summer lodge for the first radiologist in Pittsburgh, the stone house originally presided over 100 acres including the Kennedy Mill. With only 3 owners in over 80 years, it now sits on 8.44 landscaped acres on the corner of Grant City and Frew Mill roads. The property includes the original workshop and a root cellar later turned into staff living quarters. A detached garage and a 4 bay equipment barn were added in the 80’s. The original smokehouse still stands, although now just houses the kayaks! The property is studded with majestic oaks, maples and evergreens. Possible access to the surrounding 35 wooded acres with established trails could be negotiated. A springhouse, pond, formal gardens with stone walkways, “secret” gardens, grape arbors, fruit tree orchards and a secluded fire pit compliment the setting. Experiencing the spectacular sunsets from the front porch is a must!
Structural Description: From the slate roof,18 inch thick stone walls, deep marble windowsills, and the basement steel beam/concrete ceiling, the construction is meticulously sturdy and timeless. Original wide plank oak floors, superior oak paneling and hand hewn beams highlight the interior of this residence. Three fireplaces and steam heat give this home warmth and comfort. The high ceilings and spacious room sizes will delight any guest. The year long renovations in 1994 turned the original servants quarters into an open and updated kitchen and a focal point of this home. The original porch was enclosed into a bright sunroom with radiant heat and wall of windows. A Master bathroom was added at the same time with radiant heat, cathedral ceiling, whirlpool tub, walk in shower and walk through closets. The previous outdoor stone walls became striking interior walls in both rooms. The original gun room was turned into a second floor laundry but could be easily converted into a 9’x5′ en-suite bathroom. The original natural spring continues to flow into the house by gravity via a 1,000 gallon cistern. It is then filtered and pumped throughout the house for a natural clean water source. There is also a well for outdoor or in-house use. Original blue prints and detailed building specs are available for perusal.
