About This Home

As of June 2023

Presenting the happiest, most stylish home and barn property in Unionville! With a classic brick and cedar exterior, NEW windows, bluestone walkways, porches and patios, the 6000+ square feet of living space is warmed with hardwood floors and beamed ceilings. One of the highlights has to be the Terrain-inspired greenhouse room with cork wall and radiant heat tile flooring. The dry sink serves equally well as a beverage center or potting bench. The bright and airy kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop and dual ovens. Butcher Block counters are easily maintained and perfect for doing homework at the kitchen island or food prep. The adjacent cork-floored mudroom with multiple pantries and closets keeps clutter at bay. Throughout the first floor, french doors and large windows bring the outdoors in. Every room enjoys views of nature and many have access to the outdoor patios and koi pond. The living room has two focal points - windows and french doors opening to the patio and the bold brick fireplace wall. The living room flows into the adjacent dining room, also with french doors to the patio, making entertaining and guest movement seamless. The main-floor primary bedroom features a tiled fireplace, en-suite bath with soaking tub, a walk-in closet and french doors to a private patio overlooking the meadow and woods beyond. A large laundry room buffers the second bedroom and en-suite bath, perfect for a nanny or in-law . The new owners will enjoy the family room with extensive built-ins for books and artwork, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace plus a vaulted ceiling that glows at night with hidden lighting. Upstairs, the loft area is the hub from which 3 additional bedrooms, 2 full baths, a sitting room and home office exist. These multi-purpose rooms can serve many needs for the next owner. The car aficionado will be thrilled with the main garage, plus an underground garage, with space for a total of 6-8 vehicles - cars, tractors, boats or motorcycles. Above the main garage, a private stair leads to finished space which may be used for storage or perhaps additional living space. The options are endless - wood shop, yoga or art studio perhaps? The basement is partially finished, with a full bath, recreation and exercise spaces, plus plenty of room for storage. There are two doors to the outside for safe egress. The 2005 barn was smartly laid out by someone with experience. Sited for cross-breezes, ventilation makes for healthy animals - horses, goats, chickens welcomed. Large sliding doors at each end can be opened or closed to control the flow. There are three matted stalls, each with lights and electric for fans, sliding doors to the aisle and classic dutch-doors to the outside overhang. A wash-stall and tack/feed room complete the first floor. Rubber tiles in the center aisle add quiet and safety to the space. Stairs to the loft allow for easy access to hay and other stored items. It’s fondly referred to as “Sage Barn,” both for its color as well as the wisdom and serenity one finds there. The three-board fenced pasture is picture-perfect. New energy-efficient windows and a new septic system allow the new owner to focus on more important tasks on their country property. Located between West Chester and Kennett Square, with easy access to local shops, restaurants, and schools, this property is the ideal choice for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle in a convenient location. The nearby Brandywine River offers kayaking and fishing opportunities, Cheslen and Stroud preserves are havens for hiking and outdoor activities. Philadelphia International Airport is 30 miles away, Amtrak regional rail with service to Philadelphia and New York is 7 miles away. This unique and dynamic floorplan offers many options for the new owner, whether multi-generational, work-from-home or simply a second home getaway. Top-ranked Unionville-Chadds Ford School District and 50% of Newlin total acreage is conserved.
