About This Home

As of September 2019

Amazing Home! Outstanding VALUE! Great video! DON'T miss seeing this lovely home! If you LOVE to Cook, or you just love to hang out in a GORGEOUS Kitchen while someone else cooks . . . THIS is the HOUSE you've been dreaming of! If you LOVE the great outdoors, whether you are an avid Gardener or Birder, or maybe you are the person who loves to sit in a bucolic setting, reading the paper, listening to music and relaxing with a cup of coffee (or the beverage of your choice), you are NOT going to want to miss this beautifully re-imagined Colonial with a FLEXIBLE Floor Plan at 1537 Sleepy Hollow Lane in Hershey's Mill Estates! (NOT the 55+ community.) When you arrive, you'll be charmed by the secluded feeling of the property and its setting at the end of the cul-de-sac. The kitchen is truly a chef's dream! Just to touch upon a FEW of the features in this amazing Kitchen: Miele refrigerator 30in. and 18in. freezer, Miele high-speed oven for fast warmups, BlueStar Professional 6 Burner Range, pot filler on the stove, built-in wine cooler, a 2nd Miele oven with 16 different functions for baking everything from pizza to making your favorite souffle! The 1st floor is complete with a charming FamilyRm with a 72in. flat screen TV with additional speakers, (there are 3 additional TVs also included), custom plantation shutters, stunning woodwork & moldings and a built-in highly efficient wood stove. You'll also find a large elegant dining room, which can easily be converted back to a formal Living Room, or a Living/Dining Room combo! AND there is also a beautiful 1st Floor In-Law Suite (or Office, or Den, or Playroom) with its own access to the elegant full bath with walk-in shower and vessel sink. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms including the sumptuous master suite with walk-in closet, a gorgeous custom tiled bath and glass-enclosed shower as well as the front-load washer & dryer. The 4th Bedroom upstairs is presently set up as a Dressing Room, but it could be a Nursery or Playroom with ample & adaptable closet/storage configurations. The huge basement has a large finished section as well as an unfinished section with tons of storage space, an 80-bottle wine rack and a workbench. The use of this space is limited only by your imagination! The sellers have made numerous upgrades to this lovely home. Outside you'll find perennial gardens that bloom year after year, bloom from April thru November, requiring very little maintenance and little or no expensive mulching! Don t miss the charming woodland gazebo! Every feature of this home is designed to make it a GREAT place to live and an AMAZING place to ENTERTAIN! The large open flat deck could easily be enclosed with a railing and made a secure spot for young ones (or pets) to play. The grassy side of the yard has space for a swing set and could be easily expanded. (Please note that the fencing in the side yard is movable and expandable. Hershey's Mill Estates offers you wonderful relaxed lifestyle amenities with Community Pool, beautifully maintained Tennis Courts, Community Playground and acres of lush common grounds to enjoy. If you choose to take advantage of its active community life, you'll find Friday evening gatherings at the pool, Easter Egg Hunts, wine tastings, holiday parties . . . all this and so much more are just waiting to welcome you! PLEASE NOTE: The sellers are including an America's Preferred Home Warranty with an acceptable offer. This home and community are ideally located just minutes from the Malvern Train Station, the charming boros of Malvern and West Chester and the great restaurants and shopping you'll find there, as well as the outstanding West Chester Schools.
