About This Home

As of June 2026

OFFER DEADLINE SUNDAY 5/10 AT 5PM. Welcome to 1501 Colonial Drive in the highly sought-after Garnet Oaks neighborhood of Garnet Valley. Known for its wide streets, sidewalks, nature trails, and community playground, Garnet Oaks offers both charm and convenience. Located within the award-winning Garnet Valley School District, the setting is ideal, with easy access to Routes 322, 1, 95, and 202, nearby train stations, shopping, dining, parks, country clubs, and just a short drive to Center City Philadelphia, Delaware, New Jersey bridges, PHL, and the Media Borough. Set on one of the most desirable lots in the neighborhood, this home offers a rare combination of a walkout basement, a flat and highly usable backyard, and peaceful wooded views. The stately brick exterior and mature landscaping create a welcoming first impression, while a dramatic two-story foyer with a wall of windows brings in beautiful natural light. The main level is centered around an updated eat-in kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Features include white cabinetry, a large island, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, granite countertops, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and a bright breakfast area. The kitchen opens to a cozy family room with a fireplace and access to the deck. A formal dining room, updated powder room, and a convenient laundry room with garage access complete this level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with a large bedroom, walk-in closet, and a sitting area that works well as a home office. The en-suite bath includes a walk-in shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and tile flooring. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and a fully renovated hall bath complete the upper level. The finished basement adds valuable living space and feels like a true extension of the home. As a daylight lower level, it is filled with natural light from a large window and walkout sliding glass doors. It works equally well as a playroom, media room, or additional family space, and also includes a separate exercise room and a large unfinished area for storage. Outdoor living is a standout feature. The custom deck, updated in 2024, offers elevated views and steps down to a patio, creating multiple spaces to relax or entertain. The backyard is flat, open, and incredibly usable, backing to wooded open space for added privacy and a peaceful setting. Whether for play, gardening, or hosting, it is a space you will use every day. The property also offers convenient access to the neighborhood’s HOA trail system and community playground, making it easy to enjoy walks, bike rides, and outdoor time just steps from your door. Additional highlights include hardwood flooring through much of the home, fresh paint in designer colors, a newer roof and heater, new washer and dryer, smart home features, public utilities, natural gas, and a low-maintenance exterior. This home offers a wonderful combination of space, condition, and location and is truly a must-see.
