Buying an historic home is always a treat. The construction, the quality and the history as the likes of "Halycon" is no exception. The property is in the heart of the historic area of the Brandywine Valley. The home has been updated, but still has all the wonderful features of the lifestyle of yesteryear. The kitchen, breakfast and family room overlook a wonderful brick patio surrounded by perennial gardens. The floor plan features your formal dining and living (parlor) rooms complete with the traditional fireplaces, wide planked floors and deep window sills. The current owner connected the garage to the home with an enclosed brick floored breezeway and added a powder room and laundry room. Above the garage, with a separate staircase is a floored room ready to be finished off. There are three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms on the second floor. The third floor features two more rooms that can be used as playrooms, bedrooms, storage or offices. A spring fed pond with dock greets you as you come up to the entrance of the home. The current owner incorporated a wonderful barn that has the stone exterior as the backdrop for one of the the walls of the interior. Complete with 4 stalls, tack room and wide aisle, the barn would be wonderful to house horses, but other livestock and/or a business would also work. There is a fenced in paddock area. Come take a look at this property to buy to make it your own piece of history.
