The long, picturesque drive up to Ravenroyd culminates in a nearly 300-year-old rustic stone colonial farmhouse that’s just as ravishing inside as it is from afar, nestled in the rolling hills of the Brandywine Valley.

With its four fireplaces, hardwood floors, wine cellar and marble-floored third story bathroom, the Old World charm of the five-bedroom, 4.5-bath farmhouse on 10.9 acres speaks volumes — especially from the well-situated library. But it turns a new chapter as well, with custom built-ins, a granite countertop-laden gourmet eat-in kitchen and a spacious game room.

The $1.85 million estate also offers a guest house, swimming pool, four-stall horse barn and pond on the property. Whether you find it at 1214 or 1710 West Street Road, it’s south of West Chester and not far from Chadds Ford and Kennett Square — just down the road from Longwood Gardens in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District.
