Welcome to 116 Oakwood Lane, a truly distinctive 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence that seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary living. The heart of this historic Valley Forge home is a circa-1770 stone farmhouse, thoughtfully incorporated into the architect’s design. The surrounding addition was creatively conceived to frame and complement the original farmhouse, drawing inspiration from the nation’s Bicentennial year in which the home was completed. Nestled along the side of Valley Forge Mountain on just under 4 acres, this private retreat is surrounded by mature woods and offers a peaceful, tranquil setting while remaining conveniently located near major commuting routes, shopping, and dining.
As you enter, the home immediately makes an impression with its original fieldstone walls, exposed wood beams, hardwood floors, and striking stone fireplace—timeless details that showcase the character and history of the property. The living room continues to impress with soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a stunning marble fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space filled with natural light.
The living room flows effortlessly into the spacious kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and abundant cabinetry and counter space. Just beyond the kitchen, the family room offers another fireplace and direct access to the expansive rear deck, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and indoor-outdoor entertaining. A few steps up, the formal dining area provides an elegant space for hosting family and guests.
Toward the front of the home, a private office showcases beamed ceilings and stone accent walls, while a cozy den or reading area offers a quiet place to unwind. A convenient powder room completes this level.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring beamed vaulted ceilings, your own private fireplace, a versatile bonus room, and an oversized walk-in closet complete with its own washer and dryer. The luxurious primary bath includes dual vanities and a walk-in glass-enclosed shower. Also on this level is a charming princess suite with a private full bath featuring a tub/shower combination. A unique secret door leads to the third bedroom, while an additional full bath provides convenience for the remaining bedrooms.
The third level offers two additional bedrooms, providing flexibility for family, guests, or additional office space.
The lower level adds an exceptional touch with a stunning stone wine cellar, complete with room for hundreds of bottles and a dedicated tasting area—an impressive feature for the wine enthusiast and an inviting space for entertaining.
