2005 BRINTONS BRIDGE RD West Chester, PA 19382

Welcome to historic Mary Lewis Farm, situated on approximately 5 acres along the banks of the Brandywine River between Chadds Ford and West Chester in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. This extraordinary property dates back to the 1700's and is full of history and charm. A welcoming portico entranceway takes you into the dining room with exposed beams which along with the large master bedroom were the only rooms in the original house, built prior to the Battle of the Brandywine. In the 1800's the kitchen, sitting room, formal living room, four additional bedrooms, and front porch were added to the structure. The current owners expanded and renovated the kitchen twice, added a powder room off the kitchen and renovated the master bathroom, adding a glass shower and jetted bathtub. The house features 5 wood-burning fireplaces with original large mantles, built-in bookcases, original wide plank floors throughout, porches on the front and south side, and a large patio on the north side right off the kitchen for entertaining. In addition to this unique house, this property includes a barn currently used as a generously sized two-car garage, a separate detached one-car garage, a stone spring house, and beautiful gardens set in the foundation of the old stone barn. Next to the gardens is a converted 2 bedroom, one full bathroom carriage house that has just been renovated with a new kitchen and paint, providing the opportunity for extra income, or used as a studio, home office, man-cave, or luxurious "she-shed". The main house and the carriage house are on separate tax parcels, adding to the possibilities for this property. Both parcels, 64-03-0064.0400 & 64-03-0064.0300, are being offered for sale together.
