Steeped in history inside and out, this 3.6-acre Battle Hill beauty combines the class of yesteryear with stunning trends of today.

The towering facade of the 1849-built Hawthorne Lodge features an extensive wraparound porch with wrought-iron fretwork, six bedrooms, five baths and 4,711 square feet at 1230 Birmingham Road south of West Chester — nestled in amongst historical landmarks from the Revolutionary War’s Battle of the Brandywine, according to a Philadelphia Magazine feature.

“Inside, the house is dripping with historical touches, including incredible wood floors and a wood burning fireplace (with original mantle) in the living room,” the article stated. “The kitchen will make you stop in your tracks, as it blends a rustic look with modern amenities, such as commercial grade appliances. It also flows into a sunlit dining room, which boasts a dramatic fireplace. You won’t want to miss the updated master bath, especially the copper soaking tub.”

Keller Williams Real Estate in Kennett Square has listed the magnificent property for $1.17 million. Read more about it and see the stunning photos for yourself in Philadelphia Magazine here, or check out other VISTA Today House of the Week profiles here.
