$359,000

OFFER DEADLINE OF SATURDAY AT 6. MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED Own a documented piece of Landenberg history at the Sharpless-Moore House - an important, carefully researched stone residence built in three distinct phases beginning in 1840, with documentation compiled by the New Garden Historical Group and the University of Delaware's Center… Read More for Historical Architecture and Design. The evolution of the home can be read in its masonry, proportions, and room-to-room transitions, offering the kind of authenticity that can't be replicated. Lovingly stewarded by the same owners since 1965, the property pairs true period character with a surprisingly airy, light-filled feel, set on two one-acre lots with long views to a picturesque stone spring house across the street. Step into the front entry hall and immediately appreciate the home's charming craftsmanship: a main staircase anchors the center hall, a spiral stair rises from the dining room, and an additional stair continues to the third floor bonus rooms. Thick stone walls finished with classic ''lamb chop'' stucco create deep windowsills and substantial thresholds throughout, while random-width floors - chestnut, oak, and poplar, with pine on the upper levels - add warmth, texture, and provenance. Tall windows and thoughtful exposures keep the interiors remarkably bright and sunny. A wide side-porch entry allows for restful gathering, a cheerful small sun room/plant room for a bit of rest and reading, and a first-floor laundry/mud room adds practical function without compromising the home's historic integrity. The generously sized open kitchen serves as the heart of the home with an adjacent pantry, abundant built-in closets and cabinetry throughout and vintage-appropriate hardware and fixtures that complement the period setting. Across the street, the charming stone spring house is a rare surviving reminder of how properties in this area once managed water and food storage before modern refrigeration. Traditionally used to capture and protect spring water, its stout stone construction and simple, functional form make it both historically meaningful and visually captivating. From the house and grounds, the view of this small landmark adds a storybook backdrop and a tangible connection to Landenberg's agricultural past. - Two one-acre lots with views of the stone spring house - Five bedrooms, plus two large third-floor rooms - Three bathrooms (one on each level) - Stone basement with root cellar - Two-zone oil heat Schedule your private showing to experience the Sharpless-Moore House's layered history, enduring materials, and light-filled rooms in person."
