Property Description

Step into a masterpiece of thoughtful design and craftsmanship at 312 N Washington St in charming Kennett Square. This custom-built home, built circa 2016, is the vision of its original owners in collaboration with local architect Dennis Melton. From its energy-conscious construction to its elegant functionality, many details have been carefully considered to create a home that is as beautiful as it is practical. Boasting three spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus a cozy den that can flex as a guest room, this home is designed with flexibility for a variety of living needs. Built with “aging in place” considerations in mind, it features wider doorways that may improve ease of movement and a private residential elevator providing access to multiple levels—from the garage and lower level to the second floor. Whether moving groceries, hosting guests with mobility needs, or simply elevating your daily routine, this feature is as convenient as it is forward-thinking. The home’s construction is equally impressive, reflecting a clear emphasis on sustainable design and energy-conscious living. Built with reference to high-performance green-building principles, the home includes extra-thick insulated walls, German-engineered and manufactured triple-pane windows and doors, and careful air-sealing measures intended to support year-round comfort. Inside, elegant coffered ceilings add architectural interest and refinement, while beautiful random-width flooring brings warmth, character, and timeless appeal to the living spaces. The kitchen delights with heated floors, and tankless on-demand hot water adds everyday convenience and energy efficiency while eliminating the need for a traditional storage-tank water heater. The enormous finished walk-out lower level offers wonderful flexibility as a large media room, family room, recreation space, hobby area, or game area with room for a ping pong or pool table. Additionally, the garage includes a 240-volt outlet that may support Level 2 EV charging equipment, making this home as future-ready as you are. Perched on a hill with its front facing east, the home is bathed in natural light throughout the day. Large windows on the east and south sides may contribute to passive solar gain in winter, while a mature walnut tree provides seasonal shade to the serene back deck in summer. Enjoy morning coffee on the welcoming front porch and end your day stargazing from the private balcony off the primary suite. Outdoors, the landscaping is a celebration of nature, featuring a variety of plantings that provide seasonal color and are designed to support pollinators such as butterflies and bees. The property offers tranquil views, including a neighboring barn that harks back to the area’s rich agricultural history. 312 N Washington St is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Nestled in the heart of Kennett Square, this location offers a highly walkable lifestyle—within a short walk of charming local shops, delicious dining spots, and the lively energy of the community.
