10 Retreat Road

Description

Absolutely adorable 2 Bedroom and 1 Full Bath colonial style home perfectly set on the side of a large Creek in Southampton Township. The Creek House, on Retreat Road, is a former carriage house that comes with a ton of history. This home was originally located across the street on the Locust Grove Estate, the country mansion of the Irick family. Daughter Mary Stretch Irick went on to marry George Drexel of the prominent Philadelphia banking family and founders of Drexel University. The house was moved to its current location in approximately 1950. Also the Vincentown library was funded by Mrs. Drexel in memory of her mother Sallie Stretch (Irick) Keen in 1923, so this home has a rich history in this community. The interior of the home has been meticulously maintained by the owner and it shows at every turn. As you enter the home there is a dining room that is open to the kitchen and from there it opens up to a large living room with a beautiful brick fireplace and a large sliding glass door that overlooks the picturesque backyard. The second floor offers 2 bedrooms and the full bath. The exterior of the home starts with a paved driveway and right away you see how beautiful this property is, the backyard slopes off down to the water, the yard is expansive and offers gorgeous views from all angles and there is a large deck/patio to enjoy every moment. Dont miss your opportunity to see this wonderful home!
