About this home
Welcome to 777 Copeland School Road, where nearly three centuries of history and architectural character come together in one of the most extraordinary properties & frequent stop on the Chester County day house tour. Known historically as "Knockrivock" and later as the beloved Folke Stone Bed & Breakfast, this remarkable 1732 manor home is more than a residence; it is a living piece of American history - It is suggested that the home may have served as a stopping point on the Underground Railroad. Adding to this intriguing possibility is a hidden space above the main-floor fireplace & A series of stepping ledges leads upward, past the primary bedroom fireplace, and into the third-floor attic. Originally built for Alice Taylor and Daniel Hoopes, the property has long been a cornerstone of the East Bradford community. Surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping, and the natural beauty of the Brandywine Valley, this historic residence offers a peaceful countryside setting with picturesque views overlooking a neighboring pond. A convenient split driveway provides generous parking and easy turnaround access, ideal for entertaining. A fieldstone walkway leads to the historic front portico, where the home's beautiful stone exterior and timeless architectural character create an unforgettable first impression. Step inside and discover over 4,000 square feet of living space. Original exposed wood beams, wide-plank hardwood floors, magnificent fireplaces, and historic architectural details create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated. The expansive great room showcases two fireplaces and abundant natural light, while adjoining living and dining spaces offer warmth, character, and flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. Perhaps the most captivating space is the historic keeping room, where generations have gathered around the walk-in stone hearth. Featuring an original beehive oven, this extraordinary room offers a rare glimpse into early American life. From the exposed beams to the historic woodwork, every corner reflects the craftsmanship and traditions of another era. But don't let the history fool you! The home offers a spacious kitchen with rich cherry cabinetry, generous counter space, a center island, and a sun-filled breakfast area overlooking the surrounding landscape. Multiple gathering spaces provide a comfortable flow throughout the home. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a beautiful fireplace, exposed wood beams, generous closet space, and a private bathroom with a soaking tub. An exceptional feature for a home of this era is the presence of four bathrooms on the upper level, offering a level of modern convenience rarely found in a historic residence of this nature. Additional bedrooms provide flexible accommodations, reflecting the property's longstanding tradition of hospitality. Outside, mature landscaping, established gardens, and towering trees create a picturesque setting with a sense of privacy and tranquility. A spacious rear deck provides an inviting place for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the covered side porch offers another peaceful retreat.
