If you love the finer things in life such as gourmet food and fine wine then gay realtor Brandywine PA recommends you check out the wonderful life offered foodies in this pastoral place located just outside of Philadelphia. Living in Brandywine Valley has been compared to having “all of wine country” in your back yard. Many people who live here are retirees or commuters; downtown and mid-town Philadelphia is only an hour away and Wilmington, Delaware is nearby as well. It’s not uncommon to find houses here with wine cellars that have humidity control features, as well as state of the art wine fridges (see wine fridges explained here).
Brandywine Valley is located in Chester Valley, which is a short drive of one hour from the big city. It is the site of the Brandywine Trail, which follows the path of the Brandywine River through some beautiful rolling hills. This is the peaceful farm scenery that was painted by traditional American masters Andrew and Jamie Wyeth and the Brandywine museum is dedicated to displays of their work.
The Brandywine River runs through Chester County and joins with the Delaware River in Wilmington, Delaware. There are many museums and attractions near the Delaware and Pennsylvania’s border. There is a trail of award winning vineyards with charming villages nearby. Each village boasts its own character, housing prices and many bed and breakfasts.
Just searching for real estate in this area is comparable to taking a holiday because the attractions are so eclectic and the views of the landscape are so beautiful. The area also has many historic sites including the stunning Longwood, botanical gardens of Kennett Square, the Colonial arts theater in Phoenixville and the Wharton Esherick Museum devoted to “if it isn’t fun, it isn’t worth doing” in Malvern, PA.
On the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail itself there is eight wineries including the Black Walnut Winery, Borderland Vineyard, Chaddsford Winery, Kreutz Creek Vineyards, Paradox Vineyard, Patone Cellars, Penns Woods Winery and the Twinn Brook Winery. Investing in a large property in this area could provide you with the opportunity to start your own vineyard.
The center of the area is the very peaceful, sprawling place of Kennet Square. The average square price per square foot in the area in the first quarter of 2013 was $132, which is an increase of 4.8% compared to last year. The median sales price for homes in Kennet Square between February 13, 2013 to April 13, 2013 was $299,900. The average listing price for homes for sale in Kennett Square PA was $506,993 for the week ending May 1, 2013.
Most of the homes in the area are from the Victorian era, or Pennsylvania Dutch style. Many dwellings are made out of very old brick or solid stone. The properties tend to be sprawling with large wildflower gardens and woodlands at the edge. If you love plant-life this is one of the areas of the world where it is very easy to have a garden with a lot of diversity. Gay Realtor Brandywine PA recommends this area as a great place to ride horses, run a hobby farm or just simply live in rustic splendor.
