5 McKinley Ln Chester Springs, PA 19425

A gracious, custom-built residence on a 2.1-acre homesite, impeccably maintained and manicured, this is Chester County estate living at its finest. Approaching the home from a dedicated, private street and down its long, gently winding driveway, the elegance of this property immediately makes itself evident, an impression that is echoed with every step throughout the home. A stunning two-story entry foyer fans out to formal living and dining areas to either side and has the crowning touch of a second-floor lookout atop the gracefully curved center staircase. Extensive custom trim work, wainscoting, accent pillars, arched doorways, and polished-to-perfection hardwoods all speak to the attention to fine detail that is found in every corner of this home. In the beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen, white custom cabinets artfully complement the black granite counters. High-end appliances, a large center island, a breakfast bar with seating for four, a built-in desk, a butler's pantry, tile flooring and backsplash, an adjacent casual dining area, a back staircase, and abundant natural light combine to make mealtime a daily celebration of good food and quality time. The adjoining great room earns the title "great" in every respect - the warm glow of its impressive stone hearth fireplace, the wet bar with wine racks and display cabinets, the vaulted ceiling and wall of glass doors and windows facing the backyard patio and greenery just beyond. If a home office is on your must-have list, consider that box checked handsomely. A sunroom brings the beauty of nature indoors for four seasons of enjoyment of natural views. Two powder rooms, a mudroom/laundry room, and a side-entry three-car garage round out the main level. Upstairs, find five spacious bedrooms, including two bedrooms sharing an en suite and two additional bedrooms sharing a hall bath. The primary suite includes all the indulgences one might wish for - a sitting room, fireplace, ceiling fans, tray ceiling, massive walk-in closet with built-ins, and luxurious en suite bath with jetted tub and glass-enclosed, tiled step-in shower. The oversized fifth bedroom adds the potential for a playroom or whatever your lifestyle calls for. Everyone will love the convenient walk-up attic with expansive space for storage. Bringing the total square footage of this remarkably spacious home to 7,200 square feet is the finished walkout basement. Here, the possibilities just keep multiplying - media room, rec room, entertaining around the wet bar, full home gym, hobby room, storage space - even all the above! Outdoor living is exceptionally private and comfortable, thanks to a massive, custom-designed patio that overlooks a sweeping grassy lawn bordered by trees and unspoiled green space. Picture a clear, starry night, tiki lights, refreshments in hand, friends and family - this place is perfect for memorable gatherings, large or small. Grandeur is the word that comes to mind when taking in the 360-degree views of the property and its tranquil surroundings. The upgrades and updates to this home, too numerous to count, include a new roof and gutter guards, generator, two AC units, hot water heater, whole home reverse osmosis water system, refinished hardwood floors, landscape lighting, and home automation lights, doorbell, locks, and thermostat. The highly acclaimed, award-winning Downingtown East school district and STEM Academy represent yet another reason to appreciate the fine quality of life this address affords. When venturing out to shop, dine, or conduct business and everyday errands, Routes 113, 401, and 202 are pleasingly close and easily accessible.
