Step back in time and into a piece of Chester County history at 27 Dogwood Drive, a beautifully preserved home in the heart of the Hamorton Village Historic District. Originally built by Pierre S. du Pont to house workers of Longwood Gardens, this timeless brick home is rich with character, thoughtful craftsmanship, and enduring quality. As you turn onto Dogwood Drive, you quickly become immersed in the quiet and idyllic nature of the neighborhood. True to their names, the streets are lined with blooming trees inspired by their titles. Two mature Japanese Maples frame the front façade and invite you to venture down the central walkway that leads to the covered front porch, introducing the home’s character. As you walk through the front door into the entryway, you cannot help but to admire the beautiful hardwood floors and millwork throughout, enhancing the warmth and elegance of each space. The living room features floor to ceiling built-ins, a stunning stone fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings, and a set of French doors leading to the sunroom. The sunroom is a versatile living space that can be used as a sitting room, office, potting room and has large windows that showcase the vista beyond. The sunroom also contains a unique spiral staircase that connects you to the main staircase and through to the other side of the home. Circling back to the front of the house, to the left of the entry you will find the dining room that is open to the living room creating an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing with friends and family. Just off the dining room, a hallway leads to the eat-in kitchen that offers both style and function with ample cabinetry, a convenient side entry off the driveway, and panoramic views. A powder room, walk-in pantry and hallway closet complete this level. Upstairs you will find the color drenched primary bedroom suite, which was once two bedrooms and converted into one bedroom, with a stunning archway and custom millwork separating the sitting room/office. This space could be converted back into two bedrooms should the lucky new homeowner so desire. An additional bedroom of generous size includes an electric fireplace, two closets, and lots of natural light through several windows. The full hallway bathroom is beautifully tiled and well-appointed, continuing the home's thoughtful blend of vintage and updated details. The unfinished basement and spacious floored attic provide storage in this charming home, along with a detached two-car garage with attic space above for storage or workshop potential. Step outside to enjoy the serenity of a fully fenced backyard with young and mature landscaping, as well as a quaint brick patio and brick lined walkways. The rear level of the two-tiered yard is the perfect place for quoits or cornhole, while your fans watch from the gazebo. Behind the garage is a potting shed for our garden lovers. Located minutes from everything downtown Kennett Square has to offer and within easy reach of Longwood Gardens, everyday amenities, and major roadways (routes 1, 202, and 926), what’s not to love? This one-of-a-kind property is more than just a home—it’s a part of local heritage. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of history with modern comforts—schedule your private tour today!
