268 HEYBURN RD Chadds Ford, PA 19317

Steeped in history, respectfully cared for, and thoughtfully updated, this classic stone and clapboard 4 Bedroom 2 bath historic Chadds Ford home dates back to 1845. The carefully crafted and thought out additions completed in the 1860s, 1970s, and 1990s provide a comfortable floor plan and room to spread out. The wrap around porch will invite you to slow down to a more relaxed pace, and the mood is supported by the bucolic nearly 2 acre lot with an abundance of fruit trees and gardens. Enter through the porch into the spacious DR w/ wood floors, a large bay window, and the original cabinetry. The inviting country kitchen is the heart of this home. The cornerstone is the charming large fireplace which is used for cooking in addition to adding warmth and ambiance to this inviting kitchen. The back door entrance with flagstone patio and knee wall brings you into the mud room/laundry area which is spacious and features a unique drafting table hiding the W&D. A full updated bathroom with tile shower, exposed stone wall, and historic charm is just off the kitchen. The LR features a currently non-working fireplace, beautiful curved walls, full frame window, wood floors, and access to the wrap around porch. Don't miss the library/den with built-in bookshelves along two walls. The MBR with non-working fireplace is spacious and adjacent to the smallest bedroom, used by the current owners as an office. This room would make a great nursery, walk-in closet, or additional bedroom. The 2nd bdrm is oversized and was previously 2 bdrms with two hall entrances. The second floor 3rd bdrm/FR, finished in the 1970s, boasts a beautiful stone wall, cathedral ceiling, skylights, gorgeous three sided views, and a cozy pellet stove. The large, bright & cheerful 4 piece bathroom is a rare find in a historic home. Located across the hall from the master bedroom, the bathroom features a silent bubble jetted claw-foot tub, large walk-in tile shower, dual sinks, a wall mounted towel warmer, and linen cabinets. Don't miss the third floor "dormitory" with space for multiple beds, an office, or play room, plus additional storage space. The full basement is remarkably bright and spacious, and it has an outside entrance. There is also a 3 car garage built in the 1970s to replicate the original 1 car garage which also has a huge overhead storage loft. The house has been meticulously maintained and cared for by the current owners. All this in historic Chadds Ford & within minutes of Rt. 202.
