Farmhouse/National Folk

Conveniently located in the desirable and walkable Historic Unionville Village, this early 1800s single family detached home exudes charm and character. The large and gorgeous fenced garden with a seasonal brook flowing through it consists of a double lot (two tax parcels) that backs up to land protected by a conservation easement, offering both privacy and tranquility. Inside, the home boasts original wood doors, random width hardwood floors throughout, exposed wood beams and brick fireplaces with original wooden mantels. As evident from the different exterior sidings, the home was once two twins, but was converted long ago to a single family home. The living room and dining room flow together, providing an open floor plan feel, and both open into the kitchen addition at the rear of the home. There is a catalytic woodstove to take off the chill on cold winter days. The kitchen maintains the charm and character of the original home, with exposed stone, brick flooring, rustic barn-board cabinets and exposed beams. The kitchen is greatly enhanced by vaulted ceilings, French doors to the patio and a bay window overlooking the tranquil garden. Modern amenities include stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and stainless counters. Set above the babbling brook and overlooking the grounds, the brick patio is a perfect place to spend a quiet breakfast, or host family and friends for a cookout. Upstairs, the main bedroom is light and bright with built-in cabinets and closets surrounding the fireplace. There is a second bedroom that can be accessed by its own staircase, as well as through the full bathroom, which is also where the washer and dryer can be found. The third floor was finished by previous owners to create a lovely bedroom/playroom/office space/bonus room. There is a full basement that hosts the utilities and storage space. Outside, the bridge over the seasonal stream leads to a handy gardening shed that is perfectly sized to hold everything you need to take care of the property. You will love popping across the street to the highly rated Hoods BBQ for a tasty meal, or walking up to Farmer & Co for a delicious pastry, coffee or gourmet treat. The Village of Unionville is also home to a 25+ acre township park with playground and walking trails. Kids will love the ability to walk to the nearby ball field or up the street to school at the award-winning Unionville Elementary School. This is one of the loveliest homes in Chester County’s most charming village, just on the edge of world-renowned horse country and only a short drive from several nature preserves, Kennett Square, Longwood Gardens and West Chester. Wilmington and the Philadelphia International Airport are both within 35 minutes driving. Located in the award-winning and highly sought after Unionville Chadds Ford School District, this gorgeous gem of a property, exuding abundant charm inside and out, is the perfect place to call home in every season. Public open house Saturday 4/26 from 12-3pm.
