Step into a world of refined elegance and modern comfort with this exquisitely renovated former schoolhouse built in 1880; this home offers a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury, providing a truly exceptional living experience. Nestled in picturesque W. Marlboro Township and adjacent to a serene horse farm, this home is ideally located in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, a short drive to The Whip Tavern and The Laurels Preserve. The interior has undergone massive renovations, with particular emphasis on the complete kitchen renovation, luxurious family room, and 2nd-floor bedroom. All this with designer paint colors & changes in almost every space. The kitchen now features cabinets close to 10' tall, boasting dramatic effect and impressive height, creating a true focal point for the home. Leathered granite counters, a farmhouse porcelain sink, and new stainless steel appliances, including a custom stainless steel hood over the existing 6-burner Viking stove, elevate the heart of the home. The kitchen's cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, original pine wide plank hardwood floors, and oversized linen drum shade chandeliers add a touch of modern elegance to the space. The kitchen is within a large great room with a spacious dining area. In addition to the kitchen, the hallway, banister, 2nd-floor bedroom, and family room have also been renovated. The family room features all-new engineered hardwood hickory floors and a stunning oversized circular chandelier from Aurhaus. The spacious primary bedroom boasts a large walk-in closet & newer carpeting. These updates, coupled with exterior features such as brick and freshly painted wood siding, an expanded back patio, and breathtaking views of the Chester County countryside, combine to offer the perfect fusion of timeless charm, modern amenities, and tranquil countryside living.

Agricultural-Conservation Zone
First, areas contained within this Zone correspond to sensitive and/or important natural features as identified by the Township's Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, it includes prime farmlands, soils with severe development constraints, steep slopes, important groundwater recharge areas, geologic faults, threatened and/or endangered wildlife habitats, floodplains, exceptional-value watersheds, and any combination of these.; This Zone also acknowledges large areas of the Township that are publicly-owned and/or are subject to conservation easements that preclude their use for anything other than open space or rural land uses. Finally, the Zone includes areas contained within the officially-designated PA Scenic Rivers System associated with the Lower Brandywine Creek; this designation calls for maintenance of the pastoral character of the designated corridors.; Because of the importance of each of these purposes, this Zone will limit permitted uses to those that are rural in character. Furthermore, development intensity will be restricted through the use of specified design and performance standards, so that each use will remain compatible within the intended rural/conservation character. Last, a wide range of agricultural uses and activities will be permitted as a means of strengthening the Township's agricultural economy; however, intensive agricultural operations will be subject to specific design and performance criteria. These measures are aimed at enhancing compatibility. Nonetheless, future inhabitants of this Zone must be willing to accept the impacts of normal farming practices and farm-related businesses.
