Here it is a rarely available picturesque historic 18th century farmhouse on 15.90 acres close in to Kennett Square. With a little vision this grand formal center hall colonial house and property could be brought back to its full grandeur with 4 fireplaces, 5 or more bedrooms on the second floor and wonderful random width hardwood floors plus central air conditioning. Family history says the house was a stopover on the stage coach road and there are an additional 2 rooms in the attic that were used for passengers to stay the night. The home is nicely set off of Scarlett Road by a driveway that approaches the house hidden from the road crossing over fields and pastures. The house is set on a small hill that slopes gently down to a stream that forms the lot line at the front section of the property. There is a good sized barn, a detached 2 car garage, a machine shed, a pump house and a corn crib. The house and all structures are to be sold in "as-is" condition with no warranties expressed or implied. Home Inspections are for buyer's informational purposes only.
