About This Home
As of August 2025Nestled on a beautifully manicured 1-acre lot within the award-winning Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, this distinguished 5-bedroom, 3 full baths and 31/2-bath residence offers nearly 6,500 square feet of masterfully designed living space. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully curated with high-end finishes and timeless architectural elements, seamlessly blending refined elegance with modern luxury for an exceptional living experience.
The stately stone and hardie plank facade with a custom Avondale stone front patio with natural slate and brick accents set the tone for what lies within. A grand foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings, freshly refinished hardwood floors, and a crisp palette of fresh paint that extends throughout the first and second floors.
At the heart of the main level, the formal living room flows into a sun-drenched conservatoryeach anchored by a dual-sided propane fireplace and custom cherry built-ins—perfect for a refined office or relaxing retreat. The family room impresses with 18-foot ceilings and a dramatic Avondale Stone fireplace, creating a warm, central gathering space.
The chef’s kitchen, with newly refinished floors , features granite countertops, Bosch appliances, a Zephyr downdraft vent, and double wall ovens. An octagonal solarium breakfast room provides sweeping garden views and effortless flow for everyday dining or entertaining. A formal dining room adds further elegance for hosting.
French doors lead to a resort-inspired backyard oasis, complete with a European-style 45' x 20' gunite pool, iron-reinforced concrete decking, firepit, diamond-cut stamped-concrete patio, and indoor/outdoor sound system—an entertainer’s dream. The outdoor spaces were designed by the acclaimed Styer’s Landscape Architects , ensuring four-season beauty and ultimate privacy.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite includes a Juliet balcony , dual walk-in closets, a custom dressing area with built-in seating, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a steam shower and double-sided fireplace. Four additional oversized bedrooms—each with new premium carpeting —and two full baths (including a Jack-and-Jill with whirlpool tub) complete the second floor.
The walkout lower level expands your lifestyle with a custom wine cellar, media room, home office nook, game area, and a 30’ x 19’ professional-grade gym. A half bath adds convenience,
The home's mechanical systems have been significantly upgraded to ensure long-term comfort and efficiency. Major improvements include a Grand Manor luxury roof by CertainTeed (2021), a full exterior renovation with James Hardie cement siding (2022), and two new 4-ton ICP A/C systems (2022). More recent updates feature a new propane furnace and a 75-gallon Bradford White water heater, both installed in 2024.
