THE opportunity in Kennett Square! A home and property filled with history and charm, which complements an additional versatile barn structure, all conveniently positioned just minutes from the world-renowned Longwood Gardens and metropolitan cities. 327 E Street Road offers a true escape into a home filled with character. From the stunning built-ins to the wide-plank hardwood flooring to the wood-burning stove, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to blend beloved charm, curated lifestyle, and modern opportunity. This home and property offers a lifestyle ideal for woodworkers, nature enthusiasts, and artists of any kind. Located near it all, yet the home and barn are set on nearly an acre of mature landscaping that is blooming with irises, allium, columbine, phlox, and daffodils. Mimicking nearby Longwood Garden's blooms, this property is filled with flowering Chinese Magnolia, Japanese Maple, and Dogwood trees, which frame the landscape, while wooded corners and fenced-in areas create a serene retreat. Each season paints a new backdrop, but now, it is truly magical. The circa-1800s main home, believed to be once a stop on the Underground Railroad and fondly known as the “Baguette House”, beautifully preserves its historic soul while embracing modern comfort. Nearly 2,000 square feet of character-filled living space offers warm gathering rooms, three spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and a thoughtfully updated gourmet kitchen featuring a Wolf range that runs on propane. Multiple entrances with their own deck or patio, including a separate lower-level access point off of E Doe Run Road, add flexibility and convenience, and offer a place to escape to for your morning coffee. What truly sets this property apart is the detached barn, with electricity and its own electrical panel, which offers multi-level opportunities as it includes a lofted flex space in additional to the lower level rooms. Currently used as a combined workshop and display for antiques, the barn is ready for whatever story you write next. Whether you envision an artist’s studio, design workshop, wellness space, work-from-home headquarters, or creative retreat, the possibilities are expansive. This home and barn together offer the ideal live and work setup for entrepreneurs, makers, remote professionals, or anyone craving space to dream bigger. Just minutes to the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown Kennett Square, close to West Chester and Wilmington, and anchored by the draw of Longwood Gardens, the home sits at the center of it all while offering privacy, charm and a getaway that feel worlds away. For those thinking long-term, the setting and proximity to Longwood make this a compelling investment. The combination of historic appeal, versatile outbuilding, and premier location creates strong potential for rental opportunities, where guests escape the everyday and come into adventure with a timeless flare. Here, both owners and visitors alike can create their own chapter, discovering how “The Baguette House” becomes part of the story or their getaway. This is more than a home, it's a lifestyle to be embraced and cherished. Welcome to 327 E Street Road, where history is preserved, creativity is inspired, and the next chapter is yours to write.
