This Legacy Heritage Building dates from 1751 and the Log Building is 1741. Both were endangered and both have been rescued and lovingly restored. There is also a "New To Look Old" ADDITION, “out-of-sight” on the Rear of the Authentic Original Buildings. All have been refreshed with Architectural Antique Building Materials and Aesthetic. There are many High-Ceiling, Very Large Common Areas, 6 Fireplaces, 3 Main Staircases and Lots of Privacy. The Land has also been rescued and preserved forever with The Natural Lands Trust. A Large, Comfy Covered Porch, also on the rear, overlooks the 16 Acre Wooded Pasture Valley, Stream & Spring House. It's private & quiet here & the Historic Aesthetic and Natural Setting can be an absolute inspiration. I love living here! Its Spaciousness, Primitive Quality and Historic Ambience are an expansion and lift for the spirit! It’s a thrill to hear the owl hoots and the fox cries at night. It’s an absolute necessity to have an AWD Car; The 1751 house is tucked into the middle of this settlement and is only accessible from a ¼ mile long driveway. This is a Suburban Location, but, when you’re home, you will feel like you’re out in the country! It’s startling to realize that this location is 40 minutes away from Historic Philadelphia, the 6th largest gracious city in America and the birthplace of William Penn’s iconic “Holy Experiment” of Penn’s Woods. Two miles away from this primitive, private settlement is the gentle, friendly 1920s Quakerly town of Media, “Everybody’s Home Town” (Media: https://visitmediapa.com/) Month to Month with Open Lease Terms and a refreshment to your inner life. It is our goal that all who come here are enhanced, wherever their journey next leads.

Comments: Congregate Haven has 6 unique, large Private Bedrooms; Common Areas are generously shared by all with emotional intelligence, discretion, and a respect for personal boundaries. The Manager (on-site since 2011) has separate quarters/facilities.
