*Please don’t drive onto the property without an appointment* Don't miss this AMAZING opportunity!!! MOTIVATED SELLER!! 1685 Valley Road offers it all!! This is a beautifully crafted home nestled in desirable Newtown Square AND in the top rated Rose Tree Media School District! All of this and in a very convenient location-just minutes to nearby shopping, dining, transportation and more. You'll get the best of all worlds with this wonderful home. This residence perfectly balances elegance and comfort, offering a spacious layout with plenty of natural light. Set back from the street on a picturesque lot, the property boasts lush landscaping and a serene backyard-ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Nice acreage-mostly and wooded. Inside, discover well-appointed rooms with quality finishes and thoughtful updates. The property was fully renovated and transformed as recently as 2018. At that time it was taken down to the studs and thoughtfully expanded with the highest attention paid to quality finishes including a $60K Geothermal HVAC system to provide top notch heating and cooling comfort. The substantial renovations extended to the exterior of the home as well including a new septic system (2018) all of which will give the new owner peace of mind for years to come. This magnificent modern farmhouse-style home, complete with inviting covered front porch, will leave you with a feeling of warmth and beauty from the moment you walk through the front door. The two-story foyer with gleaming hardwood floors make an immediate impact with hand-crafted wainscoting throughout. A spacious living room sits a step down to the right complete with wood burning fireplace for extra warmth and coziness. Just off of the foyer is a large study which could also serve as a first floor bedroom should one be needed. At the far end of the foyer is a spacious formal dining room complete with divided light doors that lead to a side patio which is perfect for taking in the picturesque outdoors. The beautiful gourmet kitchen is a chefs delight. Rich grey and white marble counter-tops offer generous workspace for any meal. No expense was spared in the ultra high end Wolf 6 burner stove and double oven complete with a pot filler above the stove. A French style Subzero refrigerator/freezer are a must along with the Bosch dishwasher and microwave to perfectly round out the kitchen. The kitchen offers views into both the family room and breakfast room for today’s sought after open floor plan. A huge walk-in pantry complete with shelving and two double closets are perfect for storing everything you need for everyday living. A butler’s pantry just off of the family room comes complete with wine fridge and wet bar. One of the three beautiful outdoor living area this home offers is just off of the family room . An expansive mudroom runs from the two-car garage all the way to the back of the house offering plenty of storage. A dog shower is wisely located inside a large closet/storage in the garage. This comes complete with doors opening to the driveway making a perfect place to park your John Deere. On the second level of the home you will find a primary suite oasis. Expansive in size, with tray ceiling & gas fireplace, this is your welcome retreat at the end of a long day. A large walk-in closet and gorgeous light filled primary bath were also crafted with great attention to size and detail. A large sitting room across from primary bath can easily be transformed into another walk-in closet or a home office for extra privacy. Four additional large bedrooms are each serviced by two tastefully finished double vanity bathrooms. The large laundry room with plenty of cabinets for storage, closet and laundry tub ensure this area will always have everything needed to run an organized home. The value this home offers to the next buyer is unmatched. Make sure to see this property today!
