The residence includes two bedrooms, three bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, and a mudroom, seamlessly blending historic charm with modern upgrades like a reverse-osmosis water system, updated electric, and stainless appliances. Adding to the property’s allure are two additional three-story rental units, each with three bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen, and living area—perfect for generating immediate income or accommodating guests, family, or future redevelopment. The estate is further enriched by a circa-1820 post-and-beam barn with updated electric, a three-bay garage, and sprawling pastures ideal for equestrian use or farming. For developers, this property’s configuration, abundant road frontage, and zoning make it a standout. The ability to create five 2-acre estate lots offers an unparalleled opportunity to cater to buyers seeking privacy, luxury, and proximity to Kennett Square’s vibrant dining and cultural scene. With Clean & Green (Act 319) tax advantages already in place, the property is as practical as it is picturesque.
