History, Horses, Modern Conveniences, & Location make this Gentleman's Farm truly desirable. A move-in condition property built in 1871, Brittons, is now updated with many additions & modern updates but still holds some of its yesteryear charm. Brittons, dated 1871 by a row of inscribed bricks in its west gable end (bricks can now be seen on the exposed wall in the family room) is one of only two Reconstruction-era brick houses in Chesterfield. Beside the dwelling used to stand the only known ante-bellum “old field school” in the county. The original dwelling is a two-story, hip roofed, side passage plan structure with an interior end chimney. Most of the home contains its original detailing: wide plank heart of pine hardwood floors on the second story and staircase, banister with original woodwork, original fireplace mantle, original doors and hardware. All is in the best maintained, move-in condition. The first floor boasts a large living room with wood burning Erlanger wood stove insert, wide plank hardwood floors in the foyer and living room, second floor bedroom and second floor loft. The additions to the house lend to easy living with modern conveniences. There is a newly renovated gourmet kitchen that boasts granite countertops, cherry cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, large pantry and hardwood floors. The garage/mudroom addition is incredible! Oversized 2 + car garage (24’ x 30’) has room for a work bench, sitting area with cable TV and has a huge second floor room just waiting to be finished off. The newer mudroom/laundry room, almost 12’ x 12’, is a great space for coming inside from the outdoors and also makes a great “pet room”. The other additions are the bedrooms and sunroom. There is a first floor master suite with a large walk-in closet, nice master bathroom with dual vanities, separate shower, garden tub, storage closet and tile floors. The guest bedroom has a large double door closet and one wall is the exposed brick from the original home. In the hall there is a guest bathroom with a single vanity and tub/shower combo. The sunken sunroom is on the back of the house and has a vaulted ceiling, brick wall to original house, two glass doors to the back deck. The outdoor spaces of this home are incredible! With over 10 large, old cedar trees and incredible landscaping you feel as if you are in a beautiful garden all year round. The large two-tiered back deck, with a newer hot tub, overlooks the private, park-like back yard. This home is also set up for the equestrian with almost 4 +/- acres in pasture with 3 board fencing.
