With approximately 2,650 feet of private waterfront along Southeast Creek and sweeping views toward the Chester River, this exceptional 13.2-acre estate in the desirable Kennersley Farm community offers the rare combination of protected water, expansive acreage, and extraordinary privacy — complemented by a beautifully crafted main residence and detached carriage house. Originally constructed as a builder’s personal residence, this coastal farmhouse showcases exceptional craftsmanship and enduring quality throughout. The main home offers eight bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, including three private ensuites thoughtfully positioned for comfort and privacy. A detached stone carriage house provides two additional bedrooms, a full kitchen, and bath above a side-loading two-car garage with conditioned workshop and storage space — ideal for extended guests, multigenerational living, or private accommodations.
