Property Description

Adjoining property also available, more photos coming. Take Raspberry lane to drive by, hard to view from Lenape rd. This is the original Darlington house (as in Darlington street in West Chester), built in 1761 and thoughtfully refined in 1950 and 1997, this classic stone farmhouse perfectly balances the gravity of history with the grace of modern comfort. Originally a land grant to the Darlingtons from William Penn, only two families have owned this property. Inside, the home unfolds with grand-scale rooms featuring original hardwoods and woodwork. The current 6-bedroom layout offers incredible flexibility, including a sprawling primary suite that could easily be re-imagined into four separate bedrooms—creating a 9-bedroom home for the ultimate family compound or guest retreat. The modern kitchen is warm and welcoming, with freshly refinished floors, beautiful wood cabinets, skylights and banks of windows in the dining area. Heritage details abound from the authentic root cellar, intricate metalwork on the doors and exterior lights, two fireplaces, original doors and windows, original pocket doors in the primary suite, oiled woodwork, and deep-set windows. Plus you get modern amenities like pure drinking water provided by a dedicated distiller, central air (high velocity system), all public utilities, and a metal roof that was installed in March of this year. Rounding out the interior is a massive basement with an outside entrance and a huge root cellar that vents to outside.

The grounds provide the backbone to create your dream garden. Just off the kitchen is a matching historic stone smokehouse leading to stone walls draped in fragrant wisteria. Make this your sanctuary featuring a mini orchard of apple, cherry, plum, fig, and native paw paw trees. Perhaps the most intriguing feature is the original ice house foundation—a 20-foot diameter, deep circular stone well that serves as a stunning architectural focal point. This could be incorporated into a redesign of that portion of the property as the driveway could be moved to Raspberry Lane. Please note that half of the fenced in yard for 525 Raspberry lane is part of this property, the fence can be moved to the correct property line before settlement. All of this just outside West Chester borough, a quick hop to dining, entertainment, and shopping and an easy drive into Philadelphia or Wilmington.

For those seeking a true multi-generational estate, a second residence on the adjoining parcel is available exclusively with the main home for an additional $750,000. 525 Raspberry Lane is a 2,400 SF 3 bedroom/2 bath carriage house featuring a soaring great room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a massive three-season room, fenced-in yard, and gorgeous gardens.

Parking is also available on Raspberry Lane. Open houses May 1st 5-7, 2nd 11-1, 3rd 12-2, all agents honored.
