Property Description

A rare opportunity to own an iconic early‑1800s Pennsylvania stone farmhouse set on over 15 pristine acres in the heart of the historic Brandywine Valley. Renowned for its appearance in the beloved film Marley & Me and featured on Chester County Day, this exceptional property seamlessly blends historic character with thoughtful modern upgrades, including a upgraded septic system. Step inside through the custom Waterbury designed kitchen, where hand‑hewn beams, a dramatic stone fireplace, and gourmet amenities create a warm and inviting heart of the home. Original architectural details and rich hardwood floors flow throughout, offering timeless elegance at every turn. The main level features a classic formal dining room, spacious living room, butler's pantry, powder room, and a newly added three season sunroom—ideal for relaxing while enjoying views of the surrounding landscape. The second level offers three generously sized bedrooms with built‑ins, two beautifully updated full baths, and a convenient laundry room. The third level primary suite is a true retreat, showcasing exposed stone walls with renovations completed by respected local contractor Curt Bagnall. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with elegant hardscaping and a stone patio designed for private gatherings and summer cookouts. A charming springhouse leads the way to the renovated three car garage, which includes finished space above with a full bathroom—ideal for an entertainment lounge, guest suite, or home office. The property is exceptionally well‑suited for equestrian or agricultural pursuits, featuring a barn, three fenced pastures, three run‑in sheds, repointed stone walls, and a large fenced garden. It may also lend itself beautifully to vineyard or agricultural use. Located in the award winning Unionville Chadds Ford School District, with no earned income tax in Birmingham Township, this property offers the rare combination of privacy and convenience. Enjoy walking access to Birmingham Hill Preserve, along with close proximity to West Chester, Longwood Gardens, and the area's finest cultural destinations.
