Property Description

Looking for a one-of-a-kind home at a convenient location near the border of PA and DE? This classic and well-proportioned Georgian Colonial property features numerous outbuildings of special architectural importance dating from the early to mid 19th century. This brick beauty also presents the opportunity for home-based businesses. The exceptional house offers fine architectural examples of the era with elegant proportions throughout, nine foot ceilings, huge sash windows with deep window sills, fabulous moldings, wood floors, a beautiful central staircase with mural, all with wonderful symmetry and light. A brick terrace leads to the attractive porticoed front door, which opens into a front entrance hall, leading to the elegant formal living room with two-toned parquet flooring. The formal dining room and a charming enclosed porch sitting/exercise room and powder room are adjacent. In addition there is a generous kitchen with custom cabinetry, soapstone counters, farm-style deep sink and updated appliances. Beyond the kitchen there is a second enclosed porch which serves as the family room complete with a woodburning stove. From the dining room there is access to the cellar complete with a laundry area, pet wash, root cellar and outside access. The ground floor accommodation is ideally arranged for modern family living, both formal and informal through the use of the rooms and two Williamsburg-style brick patios with winding walkways. From the entrance hall the staircase leads up to a first floor landing, which offloads to the principal bedroom suite, consisting of a window-drenched main bedroom and a fully-renovated marble bathroom with a claw-footed jetted tub, shower and heated floors. There is a separate walk-in wardrobe on the far end of the landing. Up a further level you will find two more cozy bedrooms with spacious eave storage. This property is located near the end of a dead-end road and has been carefully fenced and landscaped to provide privacy on Newport Gap Pike. Highlighting the property is the historic Circa 1807 Schoolhouse, currently being used as an on-site office. The Schoolhouse measures approximately 20 x 19 and includes a wood stove, electric baseboard heat, built-ins and a newer 100 amp service and plenty of second floor storage. The grounds also include a two-car detached garage as well as multiple potting, utility and wood sheds. Beyond the office there is a 100+ year old barn offering tremendous storage and a new 100 amp service. These structures are ideal for woodworking, the hobby enthusiast or home office.

Notable updates include a new septic 2022 and roof 2007. The property sits in the Unified Development zone of New Garden Twp. and is considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
