Description

Small farms are rarely available in Cheshire Hunt country, but this classically designed farmhouse from 1988 is now on the market. The kitchen has been recently renovated with timeless cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, stone countertops, and a 6-burner gas range. Next to the kitchen is the breakfast room, with windows on three sides that bring the beauty of nature inside. There's also a cozy "keeping room" with a large fieldstone fireplace (with brick hearth, bee-hive oven and wood stove insert) as well as a bay window that offers long views of the countryside. The family room and mudroom are located nearby for added convenience, featuring another fieldstone fireplace with a new gas unit. The dining room, living room, office, and powder room complete the first floor which also features wide-planked wood floors. On the second floor, there's a spacious primary bedroom suite with walk-in closets, a laundry area, and a bathroom with jacuzzi soaking tub and double sinks. There's also a second bedroom with its own full bathroom and shower, as well as a generously sized third bedroom on the third floor with its own full bathroom and shower. The lower level is part casual entertainment area and part storage/utility area. The home's exterior is primarily brick with additional farmhouse features such as a cedar shake roof (with copper gutters and downspouts), cedar siding, brick terraces, and an arch window. The design of the home takes full advantage of the beautiful country views from its inside windows, porches, or deck. The adjacent three-car garage has an unfinished loft already plumbed for future use. For the horse enthusiast, this property features a 4-stall barn with a heated wash stall (with tankless Bosch hot water), tack room, and feed room, along with a tractor port, 6 paddock/pastures, and an all-weather ring (dust-free sand and rubber footing, 90x140) installed by Lyster Construction. This is a manageable property that can be enjoyed in many ways while also enjoying the exquisite, neighboring open space. It's located just minutes from The Laurels Preserve (private 880+ acres) and the ChesLen Preserve (public 1,250+ acres), and it's also convenient to its Unionville-Chadds Ford Schools, shopping, and major arteries. A warm, comfortable place in a very highly desirable part of the preserved area, awaiting the next steward’s personal touches to make it their home!
