Description
Tucked away in the heart of Greenville, DE, this Farmhouse-style retreat is a rare and remarkable find. Set on 2 acres and bordered by the Winterthur Museum grounds in the front, and a protected 5-acre forest behind, this home offers exceptional privacy and an atmosphere of timeless tranquility with no HOA. The home was expanded in 1965 and thoughtfully renovated in 2026, the home blends 19th century charm with modern updates throughout. It features three porches, three generous bedrooms, one of which has a private deck, one full bath, one half bath. The possibilities are endless. As you enter the front of the home, you find yourself in a bright and spacious living room perfect for entertainment. Offering a cozy wood burning fireplace wherein the chimney was recently structurally reinforced, a stainless-steel flu was added providing comfort and safety for years to come. The hard wood floors in the living room were recently refinished to add an even more brilliant shine to this room. As we make our way from the living room, you enter the open-floor kitchen and dining area. This large room has been updated with engineered hardwood flooring, new wood cabinetry, sleek black countertops, accompanied by stainless steel appliances. The smaller, second porch is located off the kitchen and provides picturesque views of the Winterthur grounds. As we head upstairs, we find the full bathroom, along with bedrooms. The large primary bedroom has a private porch with breathtaking views of the surrounding land. The third floor could be used for a third bedroom, a library, a loft, or an office. Lastly, the basement has two sections, one holds the mechanicals for the house and the other is partially finished with a half bath and a full walk-out leading to the side yard. Outdoors, mature trees and conserved land — protected by the Brandywine Conservancy — create a serene natural backdrop. Enjoy peaceful mornings, quiet evenings, and the beauty of undeveloped countryside right from your own backyard, all while remaining close to Greenville’s conveniences. Offering seclusion without sacrificing accessibility, this enchanting property captures the very best of Delaware living. Call today to schedule your private tour and discover the charm of this extraordinary home.
