Welcome to a truly exceptional estate where history, elegance, and natural beauty converge. Tucked away on 8 meticulously maintained acres in the rolling hills of Chadds Ford, this remarkable 8-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom residence dates back to 1714—making it one of the area's most significant and enduring homes. Carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated over the years, this property offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of colonial history without sacrificing modern comfort or convenience. From the moment you arrive, the home’s timeless stone faade and gracious gardens evoke a sense of tranquility and grandeur. Step inside to discover a warm, inviting interior that blends historic details—such as exposed beams, original wood floors, and hand-crafted millwork—with spacious, light-filled living areas designed for today’s lifestyle. A welcoming foyer opens into a charming sitting room reminiscent of a refined country inn, setting the tone for the rest of the home. Each of the seven private guest suites is beautifully appointed with its own unique design, & character offering a perfect retreat for extended family, guests, or potential use as a luxury bed and breakfast. The eighth bedroom, located in a more private wing of the home, is ideal as an owner’s suite or live-in quarters. The expansive rear grounds feel like a hidden sanctuary, framed by mature woodlands and thoughtfully landscaped gardens. Whether you're hosting elegant garden parties, unforgettable weddings, or simply enjoying quiet moments with loved ones, the setting is nothing short of magical. Located in the sought-after Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, this estate offers the serenity of countryside living with unmatched accessibility—just minutes from the charming shops and galleries of Kennett Square and West Chester, and a short drive to Wilmington, Philadelphia, and the New Jersey and Delaware shore points. This is more than a home; it’s a legacy property—an extraordinary blend of history, privacy, and elegance, waiting for its next chapter to be written.
