1069 HEARTSEASE DRIVE, WEST CHESTER, PA 19382

$3,250,000

A lifestyle. A sanctuary. A home with soul. Some properties offer more than shelter, security, and living space - they offer a way of living. Heartsease is one of those rare homes. Built in 1869 and named for the wildflower symbolizing tranquility and belonging, this estate carries qualities no new… Read More construction can replicate: authenticity, craftsmanship, character, and an elevated lifestyle shaped by history and nature. Step through the double front doors and you enter a world of soaring ceilings and natural light pouring through tall windows. Original woodwork, original hardware, and fireplaces anchoring every formal and casual space make it easy to imagine the Victorian era unfolding around you. Beside the foyer, a richly paneled library with its own fireplace becomes an inspiring work-from-home sanctuary. The chef's kitchen - custom cherry cabinetry and professional appliances - opens into a great-room with dining space and a vaulted ceiling. From here, the flow extends to the formal dining room and directly onto the expansive outdoor deck. It's a layout designed to shift effortlessly from intimate dinners to spirited celebrations. Up the wide formal staircase, the second floor offers four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, each overlooking gardens and woodlands for a sense of privacy and retreat. Above, the walk-up attic is already roughed-in, ready to become additional bedrooms, a playroom, a studio, or even a full third-floor suite. The ground level widens the lifestyle with a stone-walled drawing room, a media room, wine cellar, gardening room, larder, full bath, and access to the breezeway with hanging swings, a patio with fire pit, and a hot tub gazebo. An elevator connects all floors with ease. Outside, specimen trees, winding paths, historic gardens, and a tranquil fountain create the feeling of true country living. A secluded swimming pool and patio sit on the lower quarter, while the upper lawn is large enough for a wedding tent. With broad decks, multiple patios, expansive lawns, and a classic front porch, this is a home meant for living well. A detached three-car garage adds a small barn and a finished second floor - 1,200 square feet of flexible space perfect for a nanny suite, office, art studio, or music studio. Set on 5.25 acres of privacy amid the rolling farmland of southern Chester County, and minutes from a vibrant college town - less than an hour from two major cities and three airports - Heartsease is more than a home. It's an experience. A place to live, create, entertain, and breathe. A rare blend of history, privacy, and lifestyle ready for its next steward. Read Less
