by Stefan Gheorghe

This renovated 1720 brick and stone farmhouse in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, blends historic charm with modern farmhouse style. Originally a modest two-room structure with fieldstone walls and corner fireplaces, it expanded over centuries, including a 1750s stone addition and a 1970s brick veneer bay.

The exterior showcases locally quarried Pennsylvania Fieldstone with custom-blended mortar to match the original façade. A covered porch, classic black shutters, and restored original front door reflect authentic farmhouse character.Interior design combines traditional craftsmanship with modern comforts—soapstone countertops, a chestnut butcher block island, and a stone fireplace with antique brick hearth anchor the kitchen, while a sunlit dining area and a mudroom with custom built-ins add practicality.
