NEW PRICE! This charming stone farmhouse, nestled on 2.1 acres within its own nature preserve, offers a picturesque setting. Imagine watching bald eagles, herons, and other wildlife right from your home along the banks of Red Clay Creek. The property boasts a welcoming front porch with views of the creek and open space, surrounded by beautifully landscaped roses, peonies, and hydrangeas. Built in 1740, this historic home exudes character and old-world charm! Dutch doors lead to a newly renovated gourmet kitchen featuring a wood-burning stove and an island--a perfect spot for culinary creativity. On the main floor, you'll find a formal living room, a dining room, and a cozy den with a fireplace and wood-burning stove. Completing the first floor is a mudroom and a convenient half bath. Upstairs, the second floor houses the primary bedroom with a full bath and dressing room and a back stair to a third floor sitting room. There are two additional bedrooms and another hall bath. For added convenience, there's a second-floor laundry area. The third floor offers yet another bedroom and an office or bonus room. Recent updates include a new well and well pump, a septic system installed in 2015, a fresh cedar shake roof, and a standing seam roof above the dormers (at the back of the house). The interior and exterior have been newly painted, and new storm doors were added in 2023--making this home move-in ready! Additional amenities include a detached four-car carport, a vegetable garden, and a chicken coop with a pen. Located conveniently near Kennett and Delaware, this property provides easy access to shopping, restaurants, and more.
