About This Home

As of January 2016

Gorgeous home on 1.7 acres in the Great Valley SD. In 1998, major renovation was done to this childhood home of the present owner. At the time, with the help of renowned architect , George Claften, all interior walls were taken down, the staircase was moved, a new roof, stucco, plumbing, electrical and windows were installed. All 3 fireplaces are wood burning, but gas log inserts were added to two. The home theater system, speakers and security system were installed. Since then, a double level patio with pavers, walls and steps has been added. A new driveway and landscaping was put in along with new gutters and downspouts. Since 2012, plantation shutters were added to the first floor, all high hat lighting was changed to LED, a new hot water heater went in, heating and central air was changed to geothermal which reduced monthly bills by approximately half, jalousie windows were replaced, a whole house generator was added and the basement was just waterproofed. The rear yard was reseeded last week after the new septic system was installed and the old tank filled in. This home is move in ready and waiting for the lucky buyer. Minutes from amenities, public transportation, parks and recreation. Please note 4th bedroom is currently being used as an office but has great closets and window. One Year HSA home warranty included with purchase.
