Back on the market, but not for long! Buyer's had to terminate due to financial issues. Inspection completed, (report is in listing documents), appraisal completed... There is literally nothing more to do but move in and make this stunning home your own! Perched on a serene, wooded 1-acre hill in picturesque Chester Springs, this exceptional Colonial home seamlessly combines timeless charm with modern conveniences. Built in 1985 and meticulously maintained, this residence offers over 3,200 square feet of living space, situated on a quiet cul-de-sac within the highly esteemed Downingtown School District. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a welcoming foyer featuring rich, solid hardwood floors that lead into the heart of the home: a modern eat-in country kitchen. The kitchen boasts updated granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ample solid wood cabinetry, a butcher block counter, and a grand wood-burning fireplace—perfect for cozying up on chilly winter days. Sliding doors open to a newer wooden deck (2023), ideal for entertaining or enjoying the tranquil, private backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen, a charming butler’s pantry nook flows into the formal dining room, which showcases traditional raised panel wainscoting and a custom window seat with wood shutters. The inviting living room features large windows, wood chair rail, and a classic Colonial brick gas fireplace with a wooden mantel, providing a sunlit and comfortable retreat. The main floor continues with a family room accessed via a hallway lined with expansive windows. This room highlights a large stone gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, built-in cherry cabinetry with bookshelves, and a cozy window seat perfect for curling up with a good book while overlooking the lush backyard. A door provides direct access to the deck, enhancing your outdoor living experience. Further along the hallway, the mudroom with terra cotta tile offers a secondary entrance, access to an oversized 2-car garage, and a convenient laundry closet. This area leads to a versatile private office, complete with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, and sliding glass doors opening to a slate patio—ideal for a home office, playroom, or additional bedroom. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space. The full bathroom features a tile walk-in shower and porcelain wood plank tile. The fourth bedroom is the bright and airy primary bedroom which includes double closets and an en-suite bathroom with a double sink vanity, custom-built shelving, porcelain tile flooring, and a tub and tiled shower combination. The backyard is a private oasis surrounded by lush greenery, enhanced by well-engineered wooden and stone retaining walls, creating a flat area perfect for play and relaxation. This meticulously crafted home blends classic Colonial appeal with modern amenities and upgrades including a whole house generator and newer HVAC systems (see extensive list of updated major systems and maintenance schedules in listing documents).
