DELAWARE SCHOOL OF REAL ESTATE

Description

From the moment you step into 349 Brighton Road, it feels like home. This fieldstone farmhouse, established circa 1847, was thoughtfully expanded in the mid-1900s to suit modern living while preserving its historic charm. Set back from the main road, the home offers exceptional privacy, and the spacious driveway provides easy access to both the main house and the carriage house. With over 6,000 square feet of living space, the home features a sought-after in-law suite, three fireplaces, four full and one half baths, multiple bedrooms, a library, and a sunroom—just a few of the standout highlights. Each room is generously sized and flows effortlessly into the next, exuding character throughout. You’re welcomed by a large, sun-filled foyer with closets and a half bath. The expansive eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream, outfitted with high-end appliances, a wine refrigerator, a hookup for a second dishwasher, and abundant cabinetry and counter space. A second staircase off the kitchen leads upstairs and provides direct access to the in-law suite. The living room includes a built-in bar, custom shelving around the fireplace, and double doors that open to the rear patio, where you'll find a hot tub and access to the sunroom. Upstairs, four large bedrooms await—two of them with en-suite baths. The primary bedroom features multiple closets for ample storage. The in-law suite, with its own entrance, includes two bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen, laundry, and living room—perfect for extended family, guests, or an au pair. Modern updates, including electrical, plumbing, and solar panels, ensure 21st-century comfort. Set on over an acre in the coveted Colonial School District, this home blends old-world charm—think Dutch doors, original locks, deep windowsills, and a historic spring house—with thoughtful updates. The carriage house, partially renovated by the previous owner, offers even more potential. Conveniently located just minutes from plenty of shopping, restaurants, recreation, parks and major highways, this home offers space, character and location. Carriage House/Garage and Spring House are in as-is condition
