This extraordinary Brandywine Country estate (c1860) redefines elegance. Beautifully-maintained for generations, Oakwood delivers what is promises. Nearly 10 acres of spectacular vistas encompass fenced pasture, mature woodlands & meadows - all off one of Birmingham Township's most historic roads with easy access to Philadelphia, New York and Washington DC. Pristine outbuildings; a 3-bedroom Guest Cottage, a bank barn, 4-car garage and large corn crib for storage. Manicured lawns surround the main house. An inviting swimming pool, recently renovated, water garden & ample patio perfect the genteel ambiance. Green serpentine fieldstone, unique to Chester County gives rise to a marvellous 3-story Victorian-era farmhouse built by Thomas H. Brinton. Tastefully decorated to suit towering ceilings, remarkable woodwork, exquisite fixtures, the home also testifies to a happy marriage between high-tech efficiency & historic charm. A masterpiece by any standards.
