Welcome to 1428 Brintons Bridge Rd. Situated just around the corner from the Brandywine River, this historic home is located on a very quiet back road in the award-winning Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. This beautiful property dates back to the 1800's, and mixes the charm of the old Chester County stone farm houses with the modern conveniences that we have all come to enjoy. As you enter the home through the oversized mud room into the kitchen, you will notice the modern eat-in kitchen with stainless steel range and stainless steel commercial refrigerator/freezer. To the right is the large butler's pantry and back staircase to the second floor. As you move into the dining room, you can imagine yourself entertaining your friends along side a roaring fire in the dining room fire place. Just beyond the dining room is the study with a wood burning fire place and sitting adjacent to the drawing room. Leave the drawing room and pass through the double glass doors into the large living room with built in book cases surrounding the wood burning fire place at the far end, and large south facing windows along the side of the room. Upstairs you will find the master bedroom with en suite master bathroom and yet another wood burning fire place. The second floor also has three guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. Three additional guest bedrooms and an additional full bathroom are located on the third floor. After immersing yourself in the home's rich history, take a walk around the grounds where you will find the 4 car garage and the in-ground swimming pool. Back in the day, when the property was a working farm, the garage was a horse stable with living quarters for staff on the second floor. Currently the second floor is used only for storage, but may be able to be converted back to a guest house, man-cave, "she-shed", or rec room. Though this house is located between historic Chadds Ford and Kennett Square and just minutes from Wilmington and West Chester, the 4.4 acre lot offers a private setting away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This unique piece of history offers almost limitless options. This property is composed of two tax parcels, 64-03-0063.0500 and 64-03-0063.1000, both being sold together.
