About This Home

As of July 2019

Welcome to Pickering Hill, a wonderful community in Chester Springs that is the epitome of tranquil living among gorgeous greenery and rolling hills. Perched on an impressive 2.6-acre lot and in good company with other lovely executive-style residences, this stately 4,474 square-foot property has been meticulously maintained and boasts well-appointed spaces throughout. The quintessential red brick exterior with a grand double-door front entrance welcomes you through to the grand double-height foyer, anchored by a grandiose curved staircase, gleaming hardwood flooring, and plenty of natural light. Flanking each end of the foyer are the home's formal living and dining rooms, where the themes of hardwood flooring and natural light continue. Make your way towards the back of the home where an expansive gourmet kitchen awaits. Centered around a massive kitchen island with plenty of room for seating, the kitchen boasts beautiful light cabinetry, stunning granite counters, and decorative backsplash. Cook in style with the gas cook-top range and built-in oven, and enjoy plenty of storage in the butler's pantry. Start each day right with the generously-sized breakfast area, naturally lit by skylights above and offering direct access to the huge rear covered porch with ceiling fans where you can keep cool while enjoying endless days and evenings marveling at the wondrous greenscape literally in your own backyard. The kitchen also offers direct access to the mudroom/laundry room, main floor powder room, and stairway to the roomy finished walkout basement that's currently being used as an open concept rec room and fitness area. Open to the kitchen is the amazing family room, boasting soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, a brick wood burning fireplace, and a glorious bay window. Enjoy the home's formal office/study through double French doors from the family room. On the second level are the home's 5 spacious bedrooms, including the luxurious and spacious master suite, adorned by wonderful vaulted ceilings, extensive walk-in closet, skylights, and an en suite bathroom fit for royalty with a center Jacuzzi tub, glass-enclosed shower stall, and his-and-hers separate vanities. Another second-floor bathroom serves the other bedrooms on the upper level. Enjoy plenty of parking and storage space in the 3-car garage.This home is perfectly positioned to enjoy the upcoming summer days and nights in Pickering Hill.
