1105 Brintons Bridge Rd, West Chester, PA 19382

Rarely does a home with this mix of history, quality and style come on the market.   Dating back to 1789, the house has been updated over the past few years—with a light but disciplined touch—to meet the requirements of 2022, even as its historical features and connections have been retained and restored.   The result is a very livable home that wears its historical features proudly, but lightly. Key features of the home include: Large living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor, with adjoining  patios; Two bedrooms on the second floor, each with en-suite baths; Office adjacent to the second floor stairway; Bedroom on the third floor, with large en-suite bathroom, including laundry hook-up, and a large bonus room with exposed 18th century rafters and skylights; Spacious and surprisingly airy lower level with exposed stone walls and concealed laundry, utilities, and storage space, plus a half bath. The home is done throughout in a restrained style, using natural finishes and a neutral palette that complements and refreshes the home’s great 18th century bones. As nice as the interior is, the exterior is what 1105 Brintons Bridge Road is mostly about.   It features 6 rolling acres of Chester County countryside, none of which is deed restricted. The property provides total privacy, with the road frontage and east and west borders planted with over 100 evergreen trees. Tall old trees—both deciduous and evergreens—ring the property’s northern borders. 18th century ruins of an old farm building have been restored by the current owner. There is an interesting shed (still needing restoration) built and used by a former owner for stargazing, with a roof that opens (though it is now secured shut) and that a famous neighbor/artist used to inform his art. All this in the highly ranked Unionville-Chadds Ford school district and in a sought-after neighborhood rich in Brandywine Valley history. Showings begin Saturday, July 16th.
