Nestled amidst 29 acres of rolling countryside, Twin Chimneys is a rare gem—a premier equestrian and multi-use estate blending historical charm with modern luxury. This exceptional property boasts a circa-1762 Federal-style manor house, guest house, 2-story bank barn, expansive grounds, and an array of amenities that elevate rural living to a refined art form. At the heart of the estate stands the stately main residence, offering six bedrooms and three and a half baths. This property was originally a two story stone farmhouse, built in 1790. In the 1800’s the three story brick post federal house was built. The bricks for this project were kilned on the property, near a large sycamore tree beside the White Clay Creek that wanders through the property. The twin brick chimneys were a functional necessity when built, and still adorn the home today. Step inside modern day Twin Chimney, to the grand center hall, where timeless elegance greets you. The large open foyer is flanked by a formal dining room equipped with a built-in butlers pantry and a sizable living room with a detailed, wood-burning fireplace. The living room lends access through double doors to a cozy sitting room. Tucked lovingly away is the parlor with a timeless, staple wood burning fireplace and the original keeping room, a historic centerpiece, featuring an oversized hearth that once served as the home’s culinary hub, now a captivating nod to the past. The main level seamlessly combines old-world charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. The open-concept kitchen, renovated in 2008, is a chef’s dream with custom butternut cabinetry, an AGA oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a built-in steamer, and an espresso machine, and now features a breakfast nook addition. The airy family room features a stunning cathedral ceiling, skylights, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and opens through French doors to a spectacular outdoor oasis. The pool area is paved in Pennsylvania bluestone and features a hot tub and a gazebo, perfect for entertaining or serene relaxation. A nearby fire pit and second gazebo overlook the scenic vistas, offering an ideal setting for sunset gatherings. The second floor of the home boasts a luxurious primary bedroom wing. This includes a private sitting area, fireplace, access to a wet bar and intimate balcony with sweeping views. Additional bedrooms, including a converted office and laundry space, ensure ample flexibility for family and guests. The third floor features a custom dressing room and two additional bedrooms, while a walk-up attic on the fourth level provides generous storage. Just steps from the main house, a remarkable 5,000+ square-foot bank barn invites endless possibilities. With six oversized stalls and equipped with water and electricity, the barn is ideal for equestrian pursuits. Its loft, overlooking the picturesque landscape, is perfect for hosting grand events or celebrations. Outbuildings include a charming three-bedroom guest house that offers comfortable accommodations for visitors or staff, while the surrounding grounds include many fenced pastures, run-in shed, a springhouse, gardens, and soft rolling landscape overlooking its own portion of White Clay Creek. Conveniently located near shopping and amenities and offering easy access to Route 1, I-95, and major hubs like Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, Twin Chimneys is as accessible as it is enchanting. This extraordinary estate is more than a home—it’s a legacy waiting to be passed down. Additional acreage is available for those seeking even greater opportunity.
