Description

Own a piece of history and an enchanting stone house that dates back to 1798 – all within an easy walk of the train, schools, library and post office. gorgeous wide plank floors, five fireplaces, extra deep windowsills and a garage that was once a stable are some of the delightful features you’ll discover inside this special home, known as “hinkson’s corner.”  more than 200 years ago, james hinkson, a wheelwright, erected two buildings side-by-side, one for himself and the second for a blacksmith. in later years, hinkson’s corner served as a general store, and at one point, a summer resort.  hinkson’s corner has been tastefully updated by the current owners while preserving much of the charm of yesteryear, including a new roof, new windows, and convenient first floor laundry. the main floor of the house features a living room, dining room, kitchen with butler’s pantry and laundry, an adorable powder room and brick-floored mud room just off the kitchen.  on the second floor, you will find four bedrooms, including one currently used as a library, and a second, currently used as an enormous family room. there is a very spacious full bath on this floor too (complete with a fireplace!). but there’s more! an amazing third floor awaits you. there are two entrances to two separate third floors, which harkens back to the two original buildings built side-by-side. one third floor features two bedrooms and a full bath.  the second third floor offers a bedroom, den space and a full bath. this home is as enchanting on the outside as the inside with meandering brick paths, a “secret” gathering spot, and a simply gorgeous brick courtyard with a koi pond and black wrought iron gate. there is also a greenhouse. the yard is spacious and incredibly private – a feast for the eyes.  there is driveway parking for 6 cars plus the garage. the house has been freshly painted inside and out and the sellers recently purchased a new furnace. 1 e. brookhaven road is located in award-winning wallingford swarthmore school district and is a short train ride to downtown philadelphia and less than 20 minutes to the airport.  don’t miss this special home! showings start saturday, april 12.
