The Historic Walton House by RPG

Summary:
✨ The Walton House, built in 1846, is located in the National Historic District of Kennett Square, PA. We are walking distance to downtown Kennett Square and a short drive to local Brandywine Valley points of interest.

The home has been lovingly maintained to reflect its mid 19th century beginnings, while providing a modern, comfortable place to rest while visiting our lovely town. We hope you enjoy the home as much as we do!

The Space:
✨Welcome to The Historic Parlor House – A Timeless Escape in Charming Kennett Square✨

Step into everyday elegance and classic charm at this beautifully restored historic home located at Kennett Square, PA. With three spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a chef-worthy kitchen, The Parlor House is a warm blend of vintage character and modern comfort, perfect for families, friend getaways, or remote work retreats.

✨SEAMLESS LIVING✨
Guests will enjoy two private parking spots in the driveway behind the home and enter through a lush garden path lined with pea gravel that leads to the paved patio and welcoming back door.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a bright, airy living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a plush Restoration Hardware Cloud sofa, and a Samsung Frame TV—ideal for slow mornings, relaxed evenings, or movie nights.

Just beyond, a butler’s pantry adds historic charm and leads to a powder room with an antique vanity and marble sink. From there, step into the kitchen of your dreams—featuring herringbone brick flooring, a full-sized farmhouse sink, prep sink, KitchenAid dishwasher, bright picture windows, a professional Viking range with two ovens and a griddle, commercial-grade hood, Ninja blender, coffee maker, and ample space to cook and gather with loved ones.

Continue into the dining room, where a table set for six (plus four extra chairs) is ready for shared meals, game nights, or celebrations. As you reach the front of the home, the parlor welcomes you to unwind, read, or simply enjoy a quiet evening—where many generations have likely done the same.

✨UPSTAIRS RETREAT✨
The second floor features three thoughtfully designed bedrooms and two full bathrooms:
Primary Suite: King bed, abundant natural light, and a beautiful en-suite bathroom with a Carrera marble walk-in shower and skylight.

🛏️ Bedroom Two: King bed with cozy, calm styling.
🛏️Bedroom Three: Queen bed with warm, charming touches.
🛁 Shared Bath: Tub/shower combo with plenty of room for all.

✨PARKING✨
Two dedicated off-street parking spaces in the private driveway.

Historic Walton House

The Walton House is a great place to stay. Plenty of space with 2 1/2 baths and multiple bedrooms, and in a great location. It seems like everything in the house is high-end, especially in the kitchen. The hosts provided all the amenities (including provisions in the kitchen, paper products, etc.) that we could have asked for. Would certainly stay here again if back in the area.

Winter In Kennet Square

We stayed at this rental while visiting Kennett Square for a few nights in December. The house itself had an amazing kitchen, very nice, modern updates, and was kid friendly. It was a very nice location as well which was convenient to downtown Kennett Square. I would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful house and location

This was a very comfortable house for 3 friends on a getaway. We loved the location which was a short walk from the main street with restaurants and shops. We did day trips to Longwood Gardens, Winterthur, and the Brandywine Museum. When we couldn't find the TV remote, Kelly was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!!

Can't say enough good things about this house. Great location in the lovely town of Kennett Square, PA. Very updated AND cozy decor and interiors in this historical home, but with an authentic flair. Like a magazine. AC worked great (we were there during a heat wave), and a kitchen beyond any rental home we have stayed at. They even had a 6 burner oven, and a French Press coffee pot. The house was very well appointed. The backyard was charming and very private (probably a good trim of all those luxurious plants is in store for the fall). The side of the house has a tree "en espalier", for those interested. It takes years to grow that type of trim. Bathrooms were updated and well appointed. Last and not least, extremely responsive and enthusiastic owners/managers, who were a charm to work with.Sincerely loved our stay (we were in the area for a graduation), and looking for excuses to go back. It was nothing short of magical.

Really wonderful house – feels larger than it looks in the photos, and well-equipped and stocked. Very comfortable (loved the couches in the family room!) with a lovely little garden and easy parking. Amazing location 2 blocks from the center of Kennett Square.

Family Getaway

We stayed here while visiting my father for his 90th birthday. It was a perfect central location and just a few short blocks to walk to breakfast, drinks or dinner. The kitchen is huge and well-equipped. The beds were very comfortable and having two and half baths was so convenient. We even had front row seats to the Memorial Day Parade! Very Home Town feel! The steps are quite steep and may be a challenge for the elderly.
