Peace, privacy and natural beauty abound in this historic stone colonial on 7.2 acres in
Landenberg, PA. Located at the end of a winding driveway, it is within easy reach of all amenities.
Only a 10-minute drive from tax free shopping in Newark, DE and 45 minutes to
Philadelphia International Airport, this one of a kind property features both open lawn and
woodlands along with the ruins of the original stone barn. The sellers, who have loved this
home since 1964, have traced its history back to 1796 when it was referred to as the "Mansion
on the Hill". Bordering the White Clay Creek Preserve, it's only a short walk to access miles of
hiking trails and exceptional fly fishing. This solid, stone home features 18" deep, rounded

feel with numerous cabinets, ceramic tile floor and is adjacent to 2 large mudroom/storage
areas for easy storage of boots, coats, and pet supplies. The charming dining room has lovely
wood floors and large windows that bring nice light into this cheerful, bright space. The
generously sized living room features custom built cabinetry and a fireplace with a built-in,
enclosed wood storage box. A tiled, full-sized bath, with tub, finishes off the first floor. The center
stairway leads to the second floor with 4 bedrooms, all with original wide plank wood floors and
generous closets. The second-floor bath includes a recently renovated shower with ceramic tiled
floor and walls. Built-in hallway cabinets provide excellent storage for linens. A floored attic allows
for additional storage. The full-sized basement has a half bath, circuit breakers,
on-demand oil hot water heat and access to the 3-car garage. Updates include a new roof on
