This beautiful, gated estate is a classic example of an historic Chester County farmhouse, nestled on 2.35 acres with an additional adjacent 2.29-acre parcel (buildable lot)—totaling 4.64 acres of pristine grounds—next to 8 acres of open space. There are also ponds and wetlands visible from the grounds, notably in the fall, winter, and spring. Immediately upon entry through the electronic artisan-built Sapele wood gates feels like stepping back into time. The lawns, fountains and plantings (e.g., rose garden and pollinating garden) set the tone of a Longwood Gardens-inspired atmosphere and three-section home. The 1746 and 1850’s stone sections of the home have been lovingly brought up to today's standard without losing their historic charm. For example, these sections include new wood fireplace mantels and paneling (milled by Tim Flegal from HGTV) and marble windowsills. The recently added section circa 2009 boasts a great room with 9ft ceilings, a chef’s kitchen with stone counter tops, and integrated appliances (2 cabinet front dishwashers, Cabinet front refrigerator, double ovens, an in counter deep fryer and a 6-burner gas Wolf cook top). The spacious pantry has a subzero fridge. Additionally, this section has exposed wood beams, exposed stone walls, huge picture glass windows with views of a back yard reminiscent of Longwood gardens. Each section of the home is integrated into the next, with a unique flow throughout the house on the first floor and the 2nd floor. By the way, the world-renowned Longwood Gardens is a mere 5 minutes away. And watch Longwood Fireworks from your yard at he top of the property, And dark night sky often clear enough to the meteor showers.
