A versatile and restored ‘work from home’ property with stand alone office space.
Located in Bloomsburg, Columbia County, Pennsylvania, Cabin Run Farm was once a large and well-known working farm; today it is a beautiful and versatile private property with 8 landscaped acres.
Sitting proudly on this site since 1869 is Aikman House. This home is a fine and stunning example of the infamous and versatile design for farmhouses built in Pennsylvania during the 1800s. The architecture of Aikman House is a true ‘4 over 4’ design, meaning its interior is a center hall traditional home with four rooms on the first floor and four rooms on the second floor. Historically, the eight rooms were identical in size; one on top of the other. Today, the ‘4 over 4’ stands with two walls having been altered to allow for additional space in the large versatile room on the first floor, and a large walk-in closet room adjoining the third bedroom, on the second floor.
Many of the original features remain intact in the main portion of this house; the original fireplace, the pine flooring, the door hardware, and the traditional double hung windows. One specific feature, still intact and beautifully preserved, is worth noting; the interior doors. The doors are made from American Chestnut. American chestnut became extinct during one of the worst blights in the history of American forestry, therefore rendering the wood of this home’s beautiful interior doors a rare and valuable commodity, indeed.
Although this home is replete with special features, one in particular is stunning in its craftsmanship and its story. Just as the original owners, the Aikman family, emigrated to Pennsylvania from Europe in the 1700s, so did our lovely kitchen, in the 1980s. Timeless, handmade Small Bone cabinetry and a traditional four oven AGA stove compliment this bright, spacious, and sunny kitchen. The cabinetry and cobalt blue AGA were ‘special order items’ from England and were shipped expressly to Cabin Run Farm. The area originally used as the 1869 kitchen, adjoins the imported English kitchen. This lovely space, with the original fireplace, can be utilized for a spacious informal breakfast room or a comfortable open space family room.
