Property Description
Exclusive opportunity to own a true heirloom of Kennett Square Borough's heritage. "Fairthorn", built circa 1790, has a rich history and has been lovingly maintained and meticulously updated by the current owners. Originally built by John Taylor (Bayard Taylor's Grandfather) and featured in Taylor's Novel, "The Story of Kennett", the home is truly one-of-a-kind and sure to impress. Fairthorn features all of the quality craftsmanship of 200+ year old homes with original hardwood floors, deep window sills, original hardware and built-ins and also highlights modern amenities such as completely remodeled Kitchen and Bathrooms! Enter the covered front porch to the Den/Foyer with access to the Professional Office. A formal Living Room opens to the Family Room each with cozy accent fireplaces. Formal Dining Room provides access to the rear patio as well as the new Waterbury Kitchen, featuring an executive Wolf Range, new cabinetry, soapstone counters, stainless appliances and tons of storage. Laundry/Mudroom is adjacent to the Kitchen for convenience. Upstairs the Master Retreat will impress with his-and-hers closets and a recently updated full Master Bath with dual vanity and glass and tile shower stall. 4 additional generous-sized bedrooms and a remodeled Center Hall bath complete this level. Step outside and take in the amazing park-like setting featuring multiple areas designed for entertainment and relaxation. The barn was built in the early 1900's and overlooks the pristine 1.1 acre setting with a side porch that was added around 2007. Established landscaping and accent lighting highlight all that this gem of a home has to offer. Short walk to downtown Kennett Square's shops and restaurants and close to all major routes, this "Treasure of Kennett Square" awaits!
