About This Home
As of August 2018Set well off the road on a stately 4.2 acre lot in a quiet but convenient location, Buttonwood Farm features a charming and historic c.1730 (with later c.1850 and c.1961 additions) 4 bedroom, 3.2 bath home surrounded by mature trees, fabulous landscaping, a pool, garage, and bank barn. The home's terrace includes a koi pond with a soothing waterfall feature. The home has been well maintained with new cedar shake roofs, an updated Kitchen, and updated baths. The bright Living Room has an abundance of windows, built-in shelving, and a brick fireplace. The Family Room is in the c.1730 section and features exposed beams and a cozy corner fireplace. The historic Dining Room boasts the original cooking fireplace complete with the original crane and other cooking appointments. The Kitchen will bring out the gourmet in you and features magnificent Beaumaniere limestone counters and a two-inch thick wood maple top on the island. High-end appliances include a four burner electric Kitchen Aid cooktop on the island, a Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, Decor wall ovens with a warming drawer, and a Bosch dishwasher. The beautiful floors are reclaimed antique yellow pine and the breakfast area is surrounded by south-facing windows overlooking the koi pond and water features. Off the Kitchen is a Mud Room with a powder room and a delightful Sun Room. The Master Suite includes a gorgeous new bath. Also off the Master Bedroom is an Office that could become a huge closet or nursery. There are three additional bedrooms on this level and two baths - one of which has been fully redone. The lower level includes a finished room with a fireplace and is totally wired for surround sound. Outside is an oversize three car Garage and an antique bank barn offering volumes of space, a work shop area, and four large box stalls. Buttonwood Farm could be readily converted into a small horse estate. Your family will love the privately set in-ground Sylvan pool that includes an outdoor shower set nicely into the landscaping. This wonderful property is very close to Longwood Gardens, shopping centers, commuting routes, just a half hour to the airport, and an easy commute to Wilmington. The property is also located in the award-winning and highly sought-after Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. If you are looking for a charming antique home that is superbly set and well maintained, then Buttonwood Farm is the perfect place for your family to call home!
