Property Description
P.S. du Pont built 19 homes located in historic Old Hamorton Village which borders Longwood Gardens. Please see video tour: https://vimeo.com/ &3D tour: http://my.matterport.com/show/?m=WS52Uf6fdU7 & floor plans. Constructed between the 1920-30's for the employees of Mr. du Pont to maintain his beloved 'Longwood Farms'. The owners purchased the former Longwood gardener's home w/ the intention of restoring the home & seamlessly combined historically accurate restoration with modern updates. The owners used a specialist in old home restoration & in doing so, added on to the home, while being historically sensitive to the architectural flavor of Mr. du Pont & Longwood. Additions to the home include the kitchen, a portico, office, a mudroom & laundry, and owners' suite. Updates include electric, plumbing, HVAC, baths, lighting, paint, landscaping, windows, fireplace & new roof/gutters/downspouts. This ideally sized 4 bed, 2.5 bath home boasts hardwood floors up and down. Starting at the entrance, the living room is to your right w/ a built in gas fireplace w/ handsome mantle, flanked by built-in book shelves. Beyond the living room you will find the addition of a sunny, bright office (or playroom) w/ exposed stone, a bank of windows & French doors that lead to the patio. Across from the living room you will find a formal dining room w/ a built in corner cabinet, deep window wells & don't miss the nifty 'Terrain' inspired chandelier. Down the hall going to the back of the home you will find the powder room w/ beautiful mill work. Beyond that you will enter the captivating, thoughtfully designed kitchen. To your left is/ a side prep sink area. In the center you will find a 9' long Carrera marble island w/ cabinets and ample seating. The kitchen boasts a Wolf Range & Vent hood Bosch built-in/cabinet paneled dishwasher & drawer microwave. The kitchen offers loads of storage, cabinets and a pantry. With windows from every direction you turn, you cannot help but enjoy every moment in this very light, bright kitchen. Off the kitchen you will find a large eat-in dining area. If you prefer a play area, homework space or sitting room off the kitchen you could use this large space for that. Beyond the kitchen you will find the mudroom/laundry room. This high functioning room offers an extra large, deep utility sink, beautiful custom cabinetry, laundry chute, custom mudroom storage, cabinets/coat lockers and durable brick flooring. Once upstairs, you will find bed#4 on the left w/ original (& pristine!) wall paper. It is reported that Mr du Pont had all of his homes updated every three years for his employees. Boasting 2 closets, 3 windows & a handsome archway overlooking the window to the patio. 2 add'l bedrooms have 2 windows & good sized closets. Lastly, the Owners suite offers a lg. bath, w/ Carrera marble floors & counter, a walk-in large shower, beautiful lighting & bath closet. This suite has 4 closets, laundry chute & loads of windows. The basement offers a walk up access to outside, a tool/workshop space, a gym or rec. room & a cool room/ wine cellar. This home offers a detached 2 car 'extra large garage w/ new HardiePlank siding, roof, garage doors, & trellis.The back of the garage offers add'l space for lawn equipment plus pull-down stair access to attic storage space. Outside there are private, bucolic views of the bordering Longwood Gardens property (with walking trails).Owners have invested in the landscaping as well: they added a sod lawn, specimen trees, plantings of Cherry Laurels, Holly, Cryptomeria, & perennials.
