The large five bedroom main house, in-law suite style cottage (572 SQF), spacious four+ car garage (960 SQF), and nature-filled 1.28 to acres are a must see for those looking to create their forever home. A Landenberg Classic, the five bedroom main House (c.1880) originally served as housing for local mill workers for Landenberg’s prosperous garment industry at the turn of the century. Last updated in the 1980’s, a large extension seamlessly preserved the original spacious hardwood floor living room, dining room, two bedrooms, attic, and basement (added 1901). The 1980’s first floor additions include a sunroom, large open kitchen and living area, dedicated laundry & storage room, walk-in dry pantry, bathroom, and enclosed back porch. The second floor additions include three unique high ceiling bedrooms (two featuring spacious lofts) and full bath to compliment the two original bedrooms and attic. Adding to this one-of-a-kind property— A in-law style cottage(572 SQF) with enclosed front porch(96 SQF) sits off and behind the main house. A full kitchen gives access to the living room that leads to the bedroom, full bath and walk-in closet. The cottage is in need of a full and complete update. Complete with original hardwood floors, the cottage could be updated to serve as a rental apartment for passive income, art studio, in-law suite, etc. A large driveway with space to park several cars, RV, and trailer leads up to the huge 960 SQF two door, four+ car garage with additional loft storage space. Rebuilt in 2008, the garage could also potentially serve as a workshop or business for a contractor, mechanic, etc. The remaining well over half acre is a natural paradise. A large field is lined by a charming and peaceful flowing creek. Near fully surrounded by nature, the property offers a private nature filled sanctuary while only a 10 minute drive from grocery stores, home improvement stores and restaurants. Only 15 minutes to trendy Kennett Square shopping, eateries, and popular national retail stores. Only 50 minutes to Philadelphia and a short 30 minute drive to WIlmington. A true “HandyMan Special'' the property is offered “as-is”. The main house and cottage are in need of significant updating that will require a new owner who is both understanding and capable of the scope of work required to create your ideal property at 118 Chesterville. Whether you possess the skills or will contract the projects, experience in large home improvements and project management is suggested. Also suggested is approval for the FHA Section 203(k) Rehab Mortgage Insurance which is tailored to provide financing for properties like 118 Chesterville. A home to make your own offering this much unique potential, in a desirable and historic town, is truly a rare opportunity. The main house, cottage, and garage stand tall on good, strong, and time-tested bones ready for their next makeover and a new chapter in their long story.
