About This Home
As of August 2018Stately, stone, colonial home steeped in the history that is "Northern Brandywine Hundred." The large lot (1.5 acre) has been beautifully landscaped and can be enjoyed during all four seasons Inside you will find wainscoting and chair rails in the foyer - living and dining rooms and up the formal staircase into the hallway. An elegant living room with stone fireplace, random width hardwood floors, windows with wide sills, curved doorways, inviting window seat overlooking the side yard and a charming alcove which presents a multitude of options. The dining room has two built-in corner cupboards and a French door that leads directly to a screened porch. The kitchen has been updated with an engineered hardwood floor and refinished cabinetry. The sellers relocated a door and added a large window when the powder room was moved. Step down into a large family room where the former garage was located. Four expansive bedrooms, three with their own baths can be found on this level. Master bedroom suite is an interesting room because of the architecture. Presently the laundry is found in the basement but an additional laundry can easily be added in the massive storage closet on the second floor. This home backs to the beautiful Shellpot Creek where you will find the ruins of the historic Sharpley Sawmill located along the banks of the creek in the 1700's. Conveniently located to I-95, Rte 202, great restaurants and shopping.
