About This Home

As of October 2015

Welcome home to this lovely carriage home in the sought after Northbrook Community of Garnet Valley and blue ribbon Garnet Valley School District nestled on a premium lot on the sought after Brookstone Drive backing to peaceful/tranquil preserved wooded open space and nature abounds. This home is stunning from its regal brick front exterior to the gleaming hardwood floors and custom decorator colors that greet you at the entrance of the grand two story foyer and lead to the open family room with a cozy gas fireplace and glass sliders that lead to the over-sized trex deck looking out into quiet woods. The exquisite gourmet chefs kitchen includes upgraded maple cabinetry, granite counters, custom tile back-splash, granite breakfast bar and a spacious pantry. The elegant formal dining room looks out to mature woods and preserved open space. The second floor boasts a grand master suite with vaulted ceilings including a luxurious en suite master bath and the closets include custom California closet organizers as well as two additional spacious bedrooms and a hall bath. This home even has a rare second floor laundry for easy access. The lower level is finished with a great/recreation room and a full bath for an additional approximate 600 square feet of living space as well as well laid out storage space. Not only is this the nicest carriage home currently on the market in Northbrook on one of the nicest lots backing to woods; taxes are very low - between $2,000 and $4,000 per year less than the other same model town homes currently on the market in the community of Northbrook.
