Property Description

Step into the charm and history of this beautifully maintained 1800s Chester County farmhouse, originally built in 1820 and located in the historic Corner Ketch community in East Brandywine Township, Downingtown. Blending historic charm with thoughtful updates, the home features a substantial 1970s addition and a 2010 renovation that introduced a first-floor primary bedroom with a private ensuite Bath. Period details are found throughout, including original wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, deep windowsills, a large walk in stone fireplace, and a hidden “Betsy Ross” staircase leading to the second floor. The upper level offers three bedrooms, a full bathroom, an office with skylights and a beautiful exposed field stone wall , and access to a private outdoor deck. Modern improvements include newer windows (2010-2019), central air & HVAC (2024), water heater (10/25) & new roof (10/25) - providing comfort and peace of mind. Outside, a charming covered front porch invites you to relax and take in the scenery, with mature gardens and a flat, sprawling yard extending across the one acre property. An oversized two-car garage and plenty of off-street parking complete this idyllic country side setting. Don't miss the opportunity to make this truly authentic piece of Chester County history your home!
