Welcome to 503 W State Street, a rare gem in the Heart of Historic Kennett Square. The Robert Scarlett House is a spacious and character-filled 7-bedroom, 5.5-bath home in the heart of historic Kennett Square. Offering over 4,100 square feet of living space across four levels, including a large unfinished basement, this beautifully preserved property blends historical charm with modern flexibility—perfect for those seeking a private residence, a multi-generational estate, or a one-of-a-kind investment property as. a Bed and Breakfast. Built in 1910 by William Scarlett for his son Robert, this home is one of only three granite residences the Scarlett family constructed on West State Street—crafted from locally quarried granite, a rare and highly durable material that gives the home its signature strength and permanence. The Robert Scarlett House is a proud contributing property in the Kennett Square Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It also sits atop Hessian Hill, believed to be the site of a Revolutionary War encampment during the 1777 Battle of Brandywine. Inside, the home is a stunning example of Arts & Crafts-era architecture, filled with original details that have been lovingly maintained. Chestnut millwork, red pine wood floors, and high ceilings bring warmth and authenticity to each room. The American Four Square layout emphasizes symmetry and function, with spacious formal parlors, a large dining room, and multiple three-over-one sash windows filling the home with natural light. Architectural highlights include a patterned slate hipped roof, partial jerkinhead gables, and a gracious full-width veranda—a classic signature of early 20th-century design. Whether you're restoring its former glory or enhancing it with modern comforts, this home is a true canvas for old-home enthusiasts. From 1992 onward, the home operated as the Kennett House Bed & Breakfast, welcoming guests visiting Longwood Gardens, wineries, and the surrounding Brandywine Valley. Its flexible layout includes several en-suite bedrooms, making it an ideal candidate for a boutique inn or extended guest accommodations. An added bonus is the detached garage with an upstairs studio, expertly constructed by local Amish carpenters and filled with natural light from multiple skylights—perfect for use as a home office, creative space, in-law suite, or guest retreat. Located just blocks from downtown Kennett Square’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and events—and minutes from Longwood Gardens—this home is also situated in Chester County, which has been consistently named one of the Best Places to Live in America for its natural beauty, strong school systems, and rich quality of life. For those who appreciate historic architecture, rare building materials, and a true sense of place, 503 W State Street is more than a home—it’s a legacy waiting to be lived.
