Property Description
Welcome to the enchanting Isaac Pyle House, a stunning Victorian home built in 1868, located in the heart of Historic Kennett Square Borough. Once home to Isaac Pyle, proprietor of the Kennett Hotel, this residence seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern convenience. With four bedrooms, three full baths, and a host of thoughtful updates, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history.
Step onto the inviting porch adorned with ornate wrought iron detailing, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening relaxation. The grand living spaces which feature nine-foot ceilings and original millwork, exude timeless elegance. The heart of the home, an updated kitchen, features quartz countertops, newer appliances, an oversized island with a butcher block top, and extensive cabinetry for all your storage needs. Upstairs, the convenient laundry facilities add modern convenience to everyday living. The third floor offers attic storage and two additional rooms that can be finished to increase the living space. Floor plans available in the documents section of this MLS listing.
As meticulous stewards of the home, the current owners have invested over $215,000 in upgrades and home improvements, preserving the historic charm while incorporating modern amenities. Notable improvements include all-new Anderson energy-efficient windows designed to mimic the original historic windows, with custom templated windows on the third floor. The beautifully designed custom dressing room outside the primary bedroom adds luxury, while the new hardwood floors on the second floor, along with refinished hardwoods on the first floor, enhance the home’s elegance. The exterior features include a spacious fenced in grass back yard, new professionally designed gardens, hardscaping, lighting, and gutters. The pergola is complete with a custom retractable shade that makes the outdoor living space a prime area for entertaining or simply relaxing at the end of the day. Two new furnaces and a sump pump ensure the home is equipped for modern living. The main floor bedroom, complete with a full bath and outside entrance, offers flexible living space and can serve as a second master bedroom, in-law suite, or family room. The driveway/parking area in the rear for 2+cars is a rare find in a historic home in downtown Kennett Square. A two-story, 28’ X 24’ detached garage plan has already been approved by the Kennett Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB.)
Situated in Kennett Borough, this home offers a prime location just a two-minute walk to downtown Kennett Square where you can immerse yourself in community events, enjoy the local restaurants and shopping, and explore the vibrant neighborhood. A five-minute walk brings you to Anson B. Nixon Park, while a stroll down Birch Street leads to the outdoor activities and entertainment at the Creamery & Braeloch Brewery.
Don't miss this chance to own a piece of history in charming Kennett Square Borough, where Victorian elegance meets modern living.
