Nestled in the heart of charming Marlborough Village, this rare historic log home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of East Marlborough Township's rich heritage, while creating your own modern vision. Set on a beautiful, 2.6-acre private lot in the coveted Unionville-Chadds Ford School District this home offers… Read More incredible potential for thoughtful renovation or expansion, blending historical charm with today's living standards. Dating back to circa 1840, this is one of the oldest known surviving structures in East Marlborough Township. Originally designed as a one-room up, one-room down home, with a basement kitchen, finished attic, and winding staircase, the home has stood as a testament to the area's history. The current family purchased the property in 1932, and in the early 1990s, as it faced demolition, they discovered its significance as one of the last remaining log homes in the township. Their efforts to save the home sparked the creation of the Township's Historical Commission. A full renovation and expansion were completed in 1996, thoughtfully preserving the home's unique character. Updates include a lower-level addition with handicapped accessibility, featuring a spacious living room, a master bedroom suite, a mechanical room, and an eat-in kitchen that maintains the original large open fireplace. A full bath and laundry were also added on the main level to serve the upstairs bedroom. Offering 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this warm and inviting home has provided decades of cherished memories. The property also includes a historic barn and shed - both of which will convey with all contents, including wide plank wooden floors reclaimed from the attic of the log home and the original front door. These structures may also hold additional surprises - potential barn finds that offer a deeper connection to the home's 19th-century roots. For preservationists and history lovers, this is a rare chance to uncover original architectural elements and materials that could enhance a thoughtful restoration. Whether you're drawn to its history, its unbeatable location just minutes from downtown Kennett Square's restaurants and shopping, or its potential for future customization, this property is a rare and special find.
