About This Home
As of July 2022This is a rare opportunity to acquire a private 10 acre lot with stunning views in the heart of Greenville. Enjoy vista views of Granogue and the rolling hills of the Brandywine Valley. Travel up a long tree-lined driveway to something truly special. This beautifully maintained and updated home offers a thoughtfully designed layout allowing for panoramic views from many vantage points. Although there are technically 3 bedrooms, this house lives large and offers a number of flexible options for additional living space. Enter into the main foyer and immediately notice the gleaming, random width wood floors that run into the formal sunken living room with custom moldings, fireplace and built-in cabinetry with window seat overlooking picture window. Continue straight back from foyer to find a stately study with wood paneled walls and fireplace. A large sunroom sits off of the study with sliding doors leading to a sprawling brick patio – perfect for taking in the tranquil surroundings. To the left of the foyer find a formal dining room with solarium. Continue on to the large updated chef’s kitchen with high-end finishes and appliances. The eat-in kitchen opens to the family room with vaulted ceiling and fireplace. The main floor owner’s suite sits at the end of a private hallway. Pass a sitting room as you enter the large bedroom with dressing area and 4 large closets. A main level laundry room completes the main level. Head up a private staircase near the laundry room to find a versatile loft space. This bonus space could be a private office or additional bedroom. From the main level head up the main staircase to find two well-sized bedrooms and full bath. Off of the back of the house sits a large slate patio with stone wall overlooking the large, flat yard. This partially wooded lot features a tennis court, saltwater pool, 3-car attached garage and circle driveway as well as a large barn that can accommodate up to 6 cars with large, floored space above - perfect for a Pickleball Court! Enjoy the solitude and luxury that this home provides with close proximity to Philadelphia Airport, Amtrak and all major roads.
