318 Chester Rd Devon, PA 19333

Offering all the charm and elegance of a true country residence yet a short distance to the vibrant Devon Yards and Whole Foods complex, #318 is sited in one of those idyllic neighborhoods that feels and lives more like the 1950s than bustling 2021. Two flat, verdant acres feature a magical combination of manicured gardens, raised vegetable beds, flat lawns, nature paths and areas of dense trees and varied foliage. A green house provides shelter for plants in the cooler months while centennial rhododendrons and spectacular clusters of azaleas, clematis and climbing hydrangea dazzle the eye from spring through autumn.
