About This Home

Welcome to your own slice of Chadds Ford charm — a custom Victorian beauty that proves they really don't build them like they used to. This stunning four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home sits on a generous lot that gives you the kind of breathing room most homeowners only dream about. From the moment you pull onto the private drive, you'll feel the outside world start to fade away — just you, your car, and maybe a deer or two passing through. Before you even step inside, the beautiful wrap-around front porch sets the tone for everything this home has to offer. It's the kind of porch that practically begs you to slow down — grab a rocking chair, pour yourself some sweet tea, and let the peaceful surroundings do the rest. Serene, shaded, and perfectly suited for bright mornings or quiet evenings, it's easily one of the most inviting features of this home. The quality of build here is something special. Every detail speaks to the craftsmanship and care that went into creating a true custom Victorian. From the architectural details to the thoughtful layout, this house was built with intention and pride. The interior flows beautifully, offering spaces that feel both grand and genuinely livable. Four bedrooms give everyone in the family their own retreat, with the primary bedroom serving as a peaceful escape at the end of a long day. Two and a half bathrooms mean no more morning traffic jams — well, at least not inside the house. There's also a fully finished, walk-out basement as an added bonus. The secluded lot provides plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, or just sitting outside with a cup of coffee while pretending you don't have a to-do list. The property feels private and serene, surrounded by the natural beauty that makes Chadds Ford such a special place to call home. You're also just a short stroll from the Brandywine Battlefield Park Visitor Center, and families will appreciate easy access to Unionville-Chadds Ford schools. Homes like this in Chadds Ford are rare and don't come along every day. If you've been searching for a custom-built home with serious curb appeal, real private acreage, no HOA, and room to spread out, schedule a showing before someone else falls in love first.
