Description
Welcome to the Patton Farm House! This historic home has been owned by the same family for over half a century. Dating back to 1787, step back in time as you turn into the long drive to this lovely home, which is set on a three-acre landscape of trees and greenery-offering privacy and tranquility. At the top of the hill you will find this handsome home waiting for its new owners that will restore and refurbish it to its original beauty. This property is a gem and a perfect canvas for appreciating buyers who will know right away the value of its architectural features: floor to ceiling windows, original moldings, original wood floors and doors, high ceilings, fireplace, spacious rooms and property. As you enter this home you will notice that the layout is quite large, the original structure was expanded at some point. The first floor offers a traditional living room with a fireplace, large windows, a separate formal dining room, a sizable kitchen and 1.5 baths, which is all to the left of the foyer. On the right of the foyer is an additional living room/ dining room and a large eat in kitchen which was formally used as an in-law suite. The second floor, has 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and potentially 2 additional small bedrooms which can be used as closets or dressing rooms. There is also access to the attic from this level. There is an unfinished basement that houses the mechanicals. Outside to the left of the home is a separate 3 car garage, which is currently set up as a 2 car with an office/workshop, but can be converted back to holding 3 cars. To the right of the main house and down the hill, you will find the Spring House which is a 2-story home, with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and a living room / kitchen combo. The Spring House has been vacant for a while and the interior may have some mold issues. This house carries its own separate utilities and the heating system is located in the basement. A great potential as a rental home, art studio, or a personal office. There are many possibilities! Come visit The Patton Farm House. The location of this historic home is quite convenient to all major roadways and is in the Unionville- Chadds Ford School District.
