Welcome to 243 Heyburn Road in the sought-after Unionville-Chadds Ford School District minutes from the heart of old Chadds Ford and Longwood Gardens. The long driveway creates a striking first impression as you drive up to the house. This is a stunning 5-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home that blends historic charm with thoughtful updates in a one-of-a-kind setting. Originally built in 1880, the home retains its timeless character while offering the comfort and space of a 1977 addition and many recent upgrades. Set on beautifully landscaped grounds, the property features a peaceful pond view that feels like a private retreat. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the screened porch or hosting friends by the water, the setting delivers. Step inside the front door to a spacious Foyer with flagstone floor and a pretty, turned staircase leading to the second-floor bedrooms. The first-floor plan offers an Eat-in Kitchen with shaker style wood cabinetry, honed granite counters and an island. The Formal Dining Room is open to a wonderful Great Room with wood burning fireplace, a second set of stairs to the upstairs bedrooms and a door leading to a small landing and flagstone steps to the yard. A cozy Living Room has built-in cabinetry with a bookcase. A Laundry Room and Half Bath complete the first floor. Second floor has 4 spacious Bedrooms and a 5th Bedroom (currently used as an office), two full, updated Bathrooms and an open hallway. The attractive, detached 3-car garage adds serious storage and flexibility, whether for vehicles, a workshop, or hobbies. House is set on a 1.343-acre private lot in a great location with easy back road access to major roads, shopping, restaurants, schools, PHL airport and Wilmington train stations. It has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 60 years. Whether you're drawn to its timeless character, the inviting layout, or the sense of comfort that greets you at the door, you'll feel the care that has gone into every corner. The current owners raised their family here, celebrated milestones, and built a lifetime of cherished memories within the walls. Now, this magical home is ready for its next chapter—and yours.
