Property Description
The current owners of this stunning, 2 story brick colonial have left their mark on the home during their ownership. Many recent improvements have elevated the home to a new level. Enhancing the already handsome curb appeal are a new portico entrance, new carriage style insulated garage doors along with new roof, siding, and gutters. A recently installed brick paver walkway leads to new French style front doors. Inside you will find fresh paint throughout almost all of the rooms, the addition of plantation shutters, and many updated light fixtures. A center hall foyer with wainscotting welcomes you into home and leads to the formal dining room to the right and living room to the left French doors were added to the living room to create privacy for transforming the space into a more modern purpose of a home office. A fresh look for the family room was created by adding hardwood flooring and giving the wood burning fireplace a new appearance. Built-ins flank the fireplace and provide a wonderful place for displaying books and collectibles. Natural light filters in through the adjacent all-season sunroom overlooking the stunning backyard. Everyday cooking and entertaining are a breeze in the spacious kitchen with island and breakfast area. Abundant cabinetry provides ample storage for serving pieces and appliances while keeping counters clutter free. A large laundry/mudroom provides cubbies for organizing backpacks and sports equipment and recently replaced washer and dryer. The primary suite with walk-in closet and private bathroom is located on the second floor along with 4 additional bedrooms, 2 more full bathrooms, and a 6th room that could be used as another home office or guest room. A partially finished basement with wet bar is a fantastic area for playroom, craft room or exercise. Plenty of room for a competitive game of ping-pong. You will love enjoying the sights and sounds of nature in the fully fenced in backyard with new front gates on both sides. A spectacular paver patio with lighting and built-in planter boxes overlooks the gardens and a large, flat grassy area. Additional features and updates include back up Genevac generator, replacement windows, updated 2 zone HVAC including brand new heat pump, new water heater, and most of the aluminum wiring in the outlets and sockets has been addressed. Not only is the house exceptional, but the location can't be beat! Just steps away from the outdoor recreation offered in Brandywine Creek State Park and a short walk will take you to the JCC, YMCA, Wawa or Naaman's Little League. Loads of shopping and dining options on nearby Concord Pike. The DuPont Country Club is only 1.5 miles away. Tavistock is an easy to walk neighborhood with lighted streets and sidewalks.
