If you are a lover of old homes, this gracious 1929 all stone colonial home is a must-see! Built under the watchful eye of Pierre Dupont right next door to his beloved Longwood Gardens. The original blue-prints (actually drawn on blue paper) are included with the sale of the home. The interior appointments are in beautiful condition. The current owners were very careful to maintain the structural integrity when adding upgrades and lovingly maintained it year-after-year. This home has beautiful hardwoods, classic woodwork, plantation shutters in some of the rooms and built-ins. The kitchen, family room & mud room updates were designed by John Milner Architect (Plans are included). Unlike many vintage homes this one comes with state-of-the-art air conditioning (2010). Also lots of closets & storage, a beautiful custom-built main staircase that can accommodate two people side-by-side with amazing railings that rise to the second floor and a 2nd staircase closer to the kitchen. The gorgeous vintage tile work in the 2nd floor hall bath is in mint condition. The property has a separate, stone, 2-car detached garage (w full 2nd floor), lots of landscaping and hardscapes, with created ponds that include fish! Located in historic Hamorton Village, it is close to Longwood Gardens, Brandywine River Museum, Winterthur and is a short drive to Kennett Square offering lots of dining & shoppes. 3 Holly Drive comes with loads of charm, a rich history and many years of wonderful memories you can create here if you make this beautiful home yours!
