Have you been waiting for a historic property worthy of a true transformation? Circa 1834 and known as the old Andrew Fox farm, this storied Slippery Rock Township residence presents a remarkable opportunity to revive nearly two centuries of local history. Andrew Fox, an early owner of the property, was a farmer and also operated a grist mill on Slippery Rock Creek at nearby Kennedy’s Mills, further tying this remarkable home to the early history of the township. Commanding attention with its stately solid-brick exterior, this enduring country landmark rests on over 2½ picturesque acres framed by mature trees and a peaceful rural backdrop. The interior requires extensive renovation and completion, yet behind the unfinished spaces remains an extraordinary collection of period character just waiting to be brought back to life. Soaring ceilings, original wood floors, exposed brick, multiple fireplaces, substantial millwork and built-ins, an impressive open staircase, and a private rear staircase are reminders of the craftsmanship and grandeur of another era. Generously proportioned rooms span two levels, offering tremendous flexibility for a thoughtful restoration that honors the home’s history while introducing today’s comforts. A covered rear porch and attached garage complement the setting. This is not simply a renovation project, it is an opportunity to preserve, reimagine and write the next chapter of one of Slippery Rock Township’s distinctive historic homes. Bring your vision, creativity and appreciation for irreplaceable architecture and return this grand 1834 residence to the showplace it was meant to be. Walking distance to Kennedy's Mills, Slippery Rock Creek and minutes to Routes 19, 422 & I-79.
