Boasting 5 generously sized bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home provides ample space for both comfortable living and elegant entertaining. 12 foot High ceilings, hand carved crown moldings, and gleaming hardwood floors evoke a sense of grandeur, while the large windows allow natural light to flood in, creating an inviting atmosphere. Upon entering you are greeted with a grand entrance hall. To your left is the dedicated office/library which features built-in shelves, bookcases and one (#1) of the 10 fireplaces. Across the hall you enter into the parlor with a stunning chandelier and fireplace (#2) with King of Prussia marble. Right off the parlor you enter through the double solid mahogany doors into the dining room with another chandelier, King of Prussia marble fireplace (#3), hand carved crown molding with flowers, and a functioning dutch door that leads to the back yard patio. Down the hall is the second parlor with fireplace (#4) off of the parlor is the butlers pantry with an entrance and back staircase to the second floor. While the home proudly retains its historic charm, it seamlessly integrates modern amenities. A gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops, and a central island is a haven for culinary enthusiasts. Reclaimed wood from the original structure has been incorporated into the fireplace (#5) wall in the eating area. While walking up the gorgeous stairwell to the second and third floor please take note of the hand painted wall by local artist, Nadia Zychal. She was inspired by the Chinese Chinoiserie print as that was a trending art back in the 1800s. You will find 2 fighting blue hens on the first floor as her little mark for Delaware. This floor consists of 3 bedrooms each with their own fireplaces (#6,7,8). The grand bathroom on the second floor has been elegantly redone with a re-configuration for the modern home owner with a nice walk-in closet adjacent and a Laundry room that will exceed your expectations. Making laundry seem-less near the master bedroom. Down the hall off of the back staircase is a loft which is being used as storage right now can be a sitting area, another office, or still storage. The third floor has two other bedrooms with fireplaces (#9 and 10) and a full bath. There is also a great storage room and access to the attic on this level. Storage is not lacking in this home.
