Description

Welcome to 277 Kennett Pike in Chadds Ford. This 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on 2 acres and combines spacious living with recent updates. The home features a first-floor primary bedroom and a fully renovated primary bathroom with radiant heated floors, new tub, vanity, and shower. The primary suite also includes a custom walk-in closet and refinished floors. The laundry room has been newly updated. Additional improvements include fresh paint, an updated garage floor with wall cabinets, refreshed landscaping, and new kitchen appliances. Interior highlights include random-width long leaf pine floors, a large living room with marble surround and custom millwork, a formal dining room with built-in china cabinet, and an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and cherry cabinets. The year-round sunroom, which overlooks the gardens and pool, now features brand-new sliding doors. A 1971 addition by Snyder Crompton includes the first-floor primary suite, family room/library with a wood-burning fireplace, main floor laundry, two-car garage, and a workroom below. The second floor offers 4 large bedrooms and a full bath—each room more spacious than what is typically found in modern construction, making the home feel especially roomy and functional. Storage is available in the attic, basement, garage, and root cellar. The outdoor area includes a pool with a saltwater conversion system, a hot tub, specimen trees, plantings, and a wrap-around porch. This home sits back from the road, offering privacy and peaceful surroundings. Originally built in 1857 by Dinah and Isaac Mendenhall, it carries a rich history with national significance. Did we mention that it is also located just 1 mile from the gorgeous Longwood Gardens! If you're looking for your next dream home, this is it!
