Description
Whether you’re a history buff who would love to live in the 5th oldest structure in pa, a golfer who would likes to practice at home, or you simply appreciate the proximity of the unionville-chadds ford school district this amazing custom home can be yours. the core of the home was a c 1660 trading post used by the lenape indians! the additions to the home were primarily completed in 2013, so it's a mix of antiquity and modern conveniences.
when you step over the threshold from under the custom designed canopied doorway, you’ll see one of the original “log cabin type” walls from the trading post. an amish-built addition doubled the size of the house, making it possible to expose the historic log walls and have the primary bedroom and bathroom on the same floor as the open living room which is graced by an enormous fireplace framed by 1800’s timber from the super-fine grade flour mills in delaware. a practical kitchen with multiple granite work surfaces and stainless appliances opens to an eat-in dining area as well as a very cozy den with wood burning fireplace and a vaulted ceiling exposing more of the original historic style. from the eat-in area is an oversized 2-car garage with vaulted ceiling and chandelier!. freshly painted and decorating the tall walls are boards pulled from the original trading post. on this floor is the primary bedroom with exposed 1660 timber walls, a walk in closet and en-suite bathroom. for privacy you can close off the den/primary suite. rounding off this floor is a sunroom, currently used as an office, and could be used for multiple other options.
from the living room take the side stairwell to the top floor of the trading post and enter the “eaves” of the home. this tucked away room will surprise you with size for queen bed, desk , tv, fireplace, and – an en-suite bathroom that includes a small refrigerator and microwave and a washer/dryer combo! talk about setting up guests!
now let’s go back down to the lower level or what would have been the second floor of the trading post, but has a ground level entrance. as you go down the stairs, note the historic timeline of the home enumerated on the walls from prior owners and influencers.
in 2013 this floor was transformed into three generous bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one en-suite) and laundry, an enclosed porch/study, a full kitchen with a separate bar and a family room with a fireplace! this room opens to a large patio with a tiered stone patio with electricity and water. one of the many charming features are the cork “walls” near the wet bar and under the stairs, used as sound proofing so the first floor guests won’t hear people coming down the stairs late at night. each area, inside & out is unique from each other.
if charm, history, convenience aren’t enough, this home includes 2 brand new heat pumps for heating and cooling, 2 propane-burning fireplaces, 1 wood-burning fireplace and 1 eco-friendly electric fireplace.
speaking of the amazing gardens, take a look at the photos and see if you can see one of the nine par-3 chipping greens! creating further opportunity for fun for all their guests, the owner over time built expansive gardens with 9 holes tucked away. friendly competitions ensue! throughout the property you’ll find meandering paths, water features, sand traps for golf and children’s castles, and many seating areas to enjoy a book or nap. pennsylvania fieldstone retaining walls merge with the antiquity to create this dreamlike oasis.
if you’re looking for that next unique and charming home for your everyday use, a weekend retreat, or an expansive guest and party house that offers modern living and an incredibly convenient location, you must see this home today! touring the house in person will speak volumes that are difficult to describe. we’re looking forward to seeing you there!
