About
Stonehouse is a 38-home carriage-home community built by Bentley Homes on a nine-plus-acre site at 912 S. Union Street in Kennett Township, just outside the Kennett Square borough limits. Groundbreaking took place in September 2018, with construction continuing into the early 2020s; homes were offered in three models — Annapolis, Brandywine, and Charleston — ranging from 2,250 to 2,675 square feet, each with three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a two-car garage. The community falls within the Kennett Consolidated School District, which operates three elementary schools (Bancroft, Greenwood, and New Garden) and feeds into Kennett Middle and Kennett High School; Kennett High School is within walking distance of the site.

What Makes This Distinct
Stonehouse’s all-time resale record shows appreciation trailing the Kennett Consolidated district average by a substantial margin, a pattern consistent with the community’s position at the higher end of the district’s price distribution — buyers purchasing at the mid-range tier in a smaller-enrollment district may face a narrower buyer pool on resale, and should weigh that constraint against the low-maintenance HOA structure and walkable proximity to Kennett Square Borough.

Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Name — No formal HOA entity name for the Stonehouse Bentley Homes community in Kennett Township was found in any named public source. The ‘Association at Stonehouse, Inc.’ found during research (millpondatstonehouse.com) is associated with a Virginia community named Mill Pond at Stonehouse, not this Chester County subdivision.
- Lot Character Text — 0.04 Acre Figure — The legacy hint cited 0.04 acres as a representative lot size. The only named-source public records lot data found was 4,356 sq ft (~0.10 acres) for the Annapolis end-unit at 1053 James Walter Way. The 0.04-acre figure could not be confirmed from any named public record and should be verified via Chester County parcel data before publishing.
- Hoa Fees Current — The $220/month HOA fee appears in original new-construction public records (circa 2018-2020) and may not reflect current dues. Buyers must obtain a current disclosure packet from the HOA directly.
- Elementary School Assignment — KCSD has three elementary schools. The specific attendance boundary assignment for Stonehouse (912 S. Union Street area) was not confirmed from a named KCSD boundary map source; Bancroft Elementary is referenced in nearby Bentley community listings but the Stonehouse-specific assignment requires direct district confirmation.
