    What's special

    Timeless Chadds Ford estate filled with charm, character, and endless possibilities, set on over two picturesque acres in one of the Brandywine Valley’s most prestigious locations. Ideally situated just minutes from the Delaware state line along historic Kennett Pike, this exceptional classic Chester County stone house offers 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath across approximately 2,904 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. The main level features a gracious and inviting layout, highlighted by a formal living room with a walnut-lined wall and classic wood-burning fireplace, an elegant formal dining room, and a sunlit breakfast room with skylights that fill the space with natural light. An enclosed porch provides the perfect setting for year-round relaxation while overlooking the property’s serene surroundings. The second level offers three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a private primary suite and walk-in closet. The third floor adds two additional bedrooms and another full bath, creating ideal accommodations for guests, extended family, home offices, or flexible lifestyle needs. All three levels feature hardwood floors and cedar-lined closets. The finished basement, thoughtfully renovated in 2002, expands the home’s living and entertaining space and features a tile floor, bar area, a wall of built-in bookcases, a gas fireplace, large tool room, full bath, and a utility room for added convenience. Outside, the beauty and privacy of the expansive grounds create a true countryside retreat with an aesthetic mix of mature trees and flowering bushes. A detached two-car stone garage, long private driveway with a stone entranceway, and ample parking complete the property’s exceptional functionality. Additional improvements include conversion to city water in 2000, while the original well house with electric service remains in place. The property is serviced by dual septic tanks, maintained annually. Rich in local history, this remarkable setting lies within an area once traveled by British troops during the Battle of Brandywine, adding a meaningful connection to one of Pennsylvania’s most significant Revolutionary War landmarks. Located in the heart of  Chadds Ford, this home is surrounded by the timeless beauty and cultural richness of the Brandywine Valley. Renowned for its rolling hills, historic estates, celebrated wineries, Longwood Gardens, and the legacy of the Wyeth family, Chadds Ford offers an unmatched blend of art, history, and countryside elegance. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive property in sought-after Unionville-Chadds Ford school district — where classic Pennsylvania charm, rich heritage, and modern-day convenience come together in one extraordinary offering.
