Enjoy this turn key home where a full renovation, with a GC specializing in historic homes, completed just 6 years ago. This historic home, in Guthriesville, was taken down to the studs and has new plumbing, new electric, new heater, etc. Documentation is available with full permitting and inspections by the Township. The renovations are all consistent with its historic roots (reviewed by HARB), with modern kitchen and baths, central A/C, wood floors and a ton of old world charm. The flooring used throughout was custom made to be similar to that used when the home was built in the mid-1800s. The new buyer can enjoy a historic home without the work to bring it up to modern function. Located in East Brandywine, this home offers a first floor bedroom, a private back yard and a walk up attic.

R-2
Residential District
The R-2 Residential District is intended to enable the development of stable, well-designed residential neighborhoods with single-family detached dwellings. Allowable densities are considered appropriate to assure compatibility with the existing pattern of development, the limitations on sewage facilities and water supply, and the limited capacity of the road network. Residential densities, dwelling types, policies regarding sewage facilities, and policies limiting the use of central water supply are established in this district as means to achieve this objective and as appropriate components of the overall pattern of land use that is provided throughout the Township; they are intended to provide for orderly growth and utilization of natural resources in accordance with the Township Comprehensive Plan. Clustering of single-family dwellings is offered and encouraged as a site design mechanism to further the resource conservation objective. A portion of the R-2 Residential District adjoining the TND-1 Traditional Neighborhood Development District is provided with the option to utilize the terms of the TND-2 Overlay District regulations contained in Section 399-30B of this chapter.
