OWN A PIECE OF BRANDYWINE VALLEY HISTORY, NO BUILDER TIE IN…the former
gardener’s cottage of the Blatz property, originally designed in 1935 by the renowned
Philadelphia firm DeArmond, Ashmead & Bickley now stands ready to be transformed into a stunning modern-day home.
Set on 2.7 picturesque acres in the highly sought-after community of Centreville, DE, this
property is surrounded by mature specimen trees-including chestnuts, maples, sycamores and
a grove of walnuts. Bathed in beautiful natural light, the grounds offer generous space for al
fresco dining, garden parties, and quiet enjoyment of the landscape.
Designed by the respected local architecture firm, arQitecture, the proposed renovation and
addition include 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bath, 3-car garage carefully balancing the cottage’s historic
integrity with a modern, thoughtfully planned layout to create a home of effortless style and
livability.
Both the well and septic systems have been tested and are in good condition, requiring only
minor modifications to support the planned renovation (documentation available). The cottage
has been fully stripped to the studs, providing a clean slate for construction. The property is
being sold as-is, inclusive of the architectural plans.
This is a unique chance to steward a piece of history. With construction-ready status and
bespoke architectural plans, this historic structure is primed for a remarkable revival.
