Property Description
A RARE opportunity to be the next owner of the Historic Thomas Ewart House. Built in 1800, with additions from 1825, 1950 and a stunning kitchen addition from 2016 with vaulted ceilings, wood beams, local Pennsylvania slate stone floors, and a panoramic window overlooking the 4.4-acre grounds of the property. This 2600 sq ft 3-bedroom 2.5 bath home offers all the modern amenities while keeping its historic charm, including the plank flooring throughout. From the new gravel patio off the 400 sq ft kitchen, one has the total privacy of the huge yard, big trees and hedgerows all visible from the French doors and the large panoramic window. The kitchen also features a chestnut island and leathered granite countertops. In the foyer hall off the kitchen there is heavy glass and lighting over the historic artesian well, surrounded by slate tiles. Plenty of storage space can be found in the attic and in the 2-car detached garage with 2 stall barn. One full acre of the property is fenced for people and animals! The septic system (2015-2016) is oversized and can accommodate expanding the house if desired. The basement is two-thirds waterproofed two-thirds, newer electric and plumbing, newer furnace, and central air conditioning. Restored architectural features include trim and fascia, wide random width floors, and original fireplace mantles. The primary bedroom with fireplace and sparkling new ensuite bath features a large dressing room and multiple closets. This gem of a house has 6 ornamental fireplaces which can also be converted to gas inserts or stoves. A gardener’s paradise -- sit back and enjoy the sounds of birds and the trickling water from a container pond while you admire the ‘moon garden’ flower beds that seem to glow at dusk. Attention to detail and a loving hand make this one of the best examples of all the beauty of an old house combined with all the amenities of a new one. All this close to highly ranked schools in Kennett Square, next door to world class golf at Hartefeld National, and tax-free shopping in Delaware. Close to Longwood Gardens, Winterthur, and other Brandywine Valley attractions. Convenient access to West Chester, Kennett Square, Wilmington and just minutes to major routes US-1 & I-95.
