Overlooking a protected waterway, this 3 BR, 2.5 bath traditional-style home is on 8 acres. There is great historical appeal to this property. The 3,578 square-foot above-grade 8 room residence was originally built in the mid 1800’s, renovated in 1997 and extensively updated since. Its historic bones reach back to its days as a millers house. Indeed, the old mill race and mill foundation ruins are still part of this one-of-a-kind property located in the Avon Grove School District. The house is a combination of stucco over stone and white painted clapboard wood siding, and features a charming covered entrance. Wood floors throughout, 2 operational wood stoves and 1 decorative FP; sunny country-style kitchen with stainless dishwasher and stove, large center island, mudroom off kitchen with outside entrance. Ceiling fans throughout. Exposed stone walls lead up the staircase from 1st to 2nd floor. Bright and airy 2nd floor redone primary BR with built-ins, separate dressing room or could be a perfect nursery and 2 private decks; 2nd floor laundry room, plus 2 more BRs and a full bath. A separate room on the main floor that houses the utilities. Loads of improvements throughout since its last purchase in 2022, Including a new HVAC System and added A/C to the old part of the house; new septic system; new roof; new refrigerator; new kitchen sink and faucet; and new under-sink reverse osmosis system. Outside arborist services have removed dead trees surrounding house; added gravel access paths between old railroad bridge abutments; done extensive land clearing, clearing of hiking trails up to walkable former railroad line, which is now a designated trail; added bonfire pit behind garden shed. There is new planking on the bridge drive and newly built custom planter box covers for septic system. Flagstone terraces outside; mature trees, many of which are spring-flowering. Three outbuildings: a detached garage with attached shed storage space, another separate shed and a lean-to for wood storage. A large pond, that is an offshoot of the original mill race adds to the appeal. This is a charming property with a lovely water view. It is a quiet, well-protected and private property on the banks of the White Clay Creek, a federally designated Wild and Scenic River that is regularly stocked with trout, and private bridge access. It spans two townships, New Garden and London Britain, in Chester County. Its south edge borders the White Clay Creek Preserve (Pa.) and, further south, its 3,000 acre sister preserve in Delaware, the White Clay Creek State Park. Really great outdoor recreational opportunities abound, especially mountain biking. Or you can wade in and fly fish right from your front yard! Easy walk via wooded trails to the center of the iconic village of Landenberg.
