Colonial

Here is a rare opportunity to own the historic William Harvey House (c.1715 - 1725), one of only 10 existing structures remaining from the Battle of the Brandywine! The 4BR, 3.2BA home has been meticulously maintained with a new shake roof. Enter into a large LR in the original house which has all of the antique ambiance and patina with a fireplace and wide width floors. Off of the Living Room is the Family Room with lots of glass overlooking the rear pond and private views. The Dining Room, Kitchen & main level Guest Suite are in the tasteful addition with 9' ceilings. The newer chef's Kitchen has beautiful cherry cabinets, upgraded appliances & everything the cook desires within a few short steps. Upstairs are two spacious Bedrooms in the antique section - one with access to a third floor Play/Hobby Room - and the Master Suite with a Changing Room & Bath is in the newer section. The Lower Level houses a Sitting Room in the older section with a beautiful corner fireplace, exposed beams & antique features like the original cooking crane! In the newer section (offers ground level access to the rear of the home) is an Office with a fireplace, Powder Room, and the Laundry. You will love the large Barn that has been totally redone under the direction of famed historical architect John Milner & houses a Game Room, Powder Room and Wet Bar, Workshop, Storage Room and HVAC. The house and barn are beautifully set on the property's 7.8 acres overlooking a pond and specimen plantings. Award-winning Unionville-Chadds Ford Schools!! Only 20-25 minutes to the Philadelphia Airport & the Wilmington Train Station & approximately 45 minutes to downtown Philadelphia, this conveniently located historic oasis must been seen to be fully appreciated! Study the photos & you will agree that this may be the finest antique home on the market in Chester County!
