Summary:
The Walton House, built in 1846, is located in the National Historic District of Kennett Square, PA. We are walking distance to downtown Kennett Square and a short drive to local Brandywine Valley points of interest.
The home has been lovingly maintained to reflect its mid 19th century beginnings, while providing a modern, comfortable place to rest while visiting our lovely town. We hope you enjoy the home as much as we do!
The Space:
Guests will park in the driveway behind the house (2 spots) and enter through the garden, down the pea gravel path onto the paved patio to the back door. The back door opens into a bright, clean living room with floor to ceiling windows, a plush Restoration Hardware Cloud sofa and Samsung Frame TV. Continue through the butler's pantry, and you'll find the powder room with antique vanity and marble sink. The butler's pantry opens up into a dream of a kitchen, with herringbone brick throughout, a full-sized farmhouse sink, Kitchenaid dishwasher, a big, bright kitchen window, a prep sink, professional series gas Viking range with commercial hood, two ovens and a griddle, Ninja blender and coffee maker and plenty of space for friends and family to gather. Through the kitchen is the dining room, with a table set for six and and four extra chairs. As you come to the front of the house, the parlor is to the left, where we imagine many generations have enjoyed a late night or two.
On the second floor, there are two king bedrooms and one queen bedroom. The primary suite has an en-suite bathroom with a stand-up Carrera marble tile shower and bright skylight for beautiful natural light all day. The other two bedrooms have access to another full bathroom with a shower/tub combo.
Pets welcome with approval. Pet fee applies.
