About This Home

As of October 2019

Affectionately known as Dogwoods, this classic country retreat is located on a serene 7.4 acres within the Conservation District of West Pikeland Township, Chester Springs. Surrounded on 3 sides by protected open space, including the 112-acre Natural Lands Binky Lee Preserve, privacy & protection is assured. A true representation of highly coveted Chester Springs. Perfectly situated amongst perennial gardens, mature specimen & fruit trees, green lawns & fenced pastures, the house offers spectacular vistas from every window. Additional wooded acreage at the back of the property are home to wildlife, offer access to trails & Pickering Creek. The thoughtfully designed entrance to the property welcomes you through a gated entry which leads down a circular drive, around a landscaped island, to the travertine walkways directing guests to the covered entry. A classic representation of style & design, this center hall colonial has been lovingly cared for & improved over the years. Upon entering the 2-story foyer, you will immediately feel a sense of comfort & warmth. Boasting hardwoods throughout most of the main level, there is a convenient guest powder room & large coat closet just off the foyer. To the left of the foyer is the dining room & to the right a large comfortable living room. French doors lead to a bright office with vaulted ceiling & palladium window overlooking the grounds. Make your way through the foyer to the phenomenal custom kitchen which was highlighted in Chester County Life magazine. Every aspect of the kitchen was thoughtfully designed with the utmost attention to detail & quality. Custom built cherry Shaker-style cabinets with furniture detail, granite counters, large island w/ seating, induction stove top, double ovens, hidden microwave, pendant, recessed and under cabinet lighting, Magica Italian tile floor, enameled cast iron undermount sink, Crema marble backsplash, & the list goes on! The roomy breakfast room overlooks the gorgeous 2 level IPE exotic hardwood deck & landscaped pool. Enjoy morning coffee and afternoon cocktails on the deck with the retractable awning it is delightful at all hours. The fireside family room boasts a gorgeous stone fireplace that invites you to snuggle up with a good book or stimulating conversation. A triple window draws your eye outside to the natural surroundings. The 2nd covered entryway to the home accesses the mudroom with laundry, 2nd powder room, 3 car garage and back stairway. The 2nd floor offers a spacious and bright master bedroom suite replete with a dressing area with custom cherry cabinets, multiple closets with organizers, and upgraded master bathroom. The large palladium window brings the outdoors in as you survey the beautiful setting in any season. The bath provides a double vanity w/quartz counter, heated tile floors, frameless tiled stall shower & plenty of space for a treadmill. The plumbing is available for a future bathtub as desired. There are 3 additional sizable bedrooms, all with closet organizers & lovely views, and a hall bath with double vanity. Further down the hall, and also accessible by the back stairway, is a 5th bedroom suite perfect for a teen, guests, au pair or in-law. A large den with separate bedroom has access to a cedar closet and full bath all of which can be closed off from the main living quarters for privacy, if desired. The basement is full & unfinished with plenty of storage. Entertaining is easy with the large swimming pool/spa, & huge level yard area horse shoe & corn hole tournaments are a given! A fenced pasture is currently used by neighbor horses for all of the enjoyment & none of the work. Feel like exploring, there are several private acres of woods that connect to township & preserved open space for hiking & fishing. Improvements: Pella windows, roof/gutters, garage doors, HVAC, Generator, etc. There is so much to share about this superlative property that youmust come see & feel for yourself!
