This Gentleman’s Farm is a wonderful balance between country casual and serenity. The Traditional style home welcomes you with a spectacular vestibule and links this Circa 1914 home with 21st century conveniences. A place where you can have your own horses! Your own little piece of paradise! Look no further than 638 Chesterville Rd. From the moment you crest the hill driving up to the property you can put all your cares aside! There are many features for today’s lifestyle including a newly finished gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, the new cabinetry was professionally integrated with the original oak cabinetry, great sized rooms with plenty of natural sunlight and main bedroom suite with a huge walk-in closet and it is pre plumbed for a master bath, yet this home has kept the charm offering gorgeous hardwood floors, original chestnut trimmed oversized windows and a covered corner fireplace along with other ageless architectural details. An expansive wrap around porch overlooks a well-stocked pond and leads your eyes over the nature preserved lands next door. There is an original bank barn with tack room, hayloft and drive in ramp with a massive silo next to it. The large barn could potentially be used for many things including carriages or a car collection. The property is complete with two 2-bedroom and two 1-bedroom apartments. The rental income is staggering and the income can assist with the many projects you might want to do on the farm. Current rental Income is $63,000 and should be higher. Landlord hasn't raised rents in years. I’ve been told that you can ride horseback all the way to Fairhill Fairgrounds from this property. The idyllic country setting is balanced with being minutes from shopping, schools, golf courses and an array of international equestrian events. If one still needs to travel, the proximity to major arteries allows it to be minutes to Wilmington Amtrak and under 45 minutes to Philadelphia airport. The almost 8 acres are within an area of similarly properties in the Cheshire Hunt country and an area celebrated for its extraordinary preservation accomplishments. Enjoy the country lifestyle at your own homestead! All the glorious sunsets only add to the charm of this wonderful property! NOTE: This property can be easily changed to a 4 unit to make it easier to get conforming financing.
