Welcome to 51 Scott Road, the former Trimble-Palmer House and Scotland Farm, a Revolutionary War-era estate where history and natural beauty converge.

Step inside and be captivated by original details that tell a story of centuries past: wide-plank hardwood floors, two working fireplaces with hand-crafted mantels, deep-set windows, and high ceilings that fill the oversized rooms with light.

The wrap-around porch provides a sweeping view of the countryside, tennis court, pond, and the Newlin Grist Mill park. A William Penn Oak tree still adorns the property. Just down the hill from the house sits a spacious lean-to style barn allowing for protected storage of grass cutting and other equipment and a large fenced in area for animals. An expansive greenhouse sits outside the walkout basement just ahead of the 1/8 acre which the owners cultivated as a large garden for many years. There is ample acreage to plant fruit trees and restore the garden to its original use. The patio and oversized deck afford a great space for entertaining.
