About This Home

As of July 2023

PLEASE DO NOT ENTER PROPERTY OR ATTEMPT TO DRIVE DOWN LONG, PRIVATE DRIVE WITHOUT CONFIRMED APPOINTMENT-CALL LISTING AGENT. Set far back off of the road, up a winding freshly-paved driveway find this private contemporary home with unmatched views of Hoopes Reservoir. This pristine setting is the perfect backdrop to let the stresses of life melt away as you enjoy morning coffee or a nightcap from one of any number of strategically placed patio or balcony locations overlooking the lush 10.5 acre lot. Enter into the 2-story foyer from the covered porch and immediately appreciate the contemporary architecture with natural materials, picture windows thoughtfully placed to provide natural light, and the show-stopping see-through, floating and curved staircase set as the focal point of the home. Up a couple of steps to the right find the formal living room with hand-built stone walls, wood burning fireplace, wet-bar, grass-cloth wall paper and sliding glass door to deck overlooking the spectacular view of the reservoir. Continue back to the comfortable family room with built-in shelving and sliding doors to the back patio. As you cross the foyer to find the formal dining room, pass a brilliant full bath that splits as a formal powder room and a full bath with dual access to the foyer and the outside pool patio as a cabana access. The formal dining room has a built-in butler's bar and accesses the eat-in kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances including Sub-Zero Fridge, Jenn-Air double wall ovens and cooktop and Dacor vent. A well positioned pantry is hidden past the kitchen along with the laundry room, powder room and closet. Head up the main staircase and find the luxurious owner's suite with high vaulted ceiling, sitting area, and dual access to a Juliette balcony overlooking the stunning grounds. The large ensuite features a soaking tub, wall of closets, walk-in shower and dual vanity with skylights. A private office can be closed off and accessed by a private back staircase. Two additional well-sized 2nd floor bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Head down the back staircase to find an additional large suite, perfect for an au pair or in-law quarters with private access. The lower level game room features a large finished space, perfect for a gym or media room, a temperature controlled wine room and an abundance of unfinished storage space. An attached 3-car garage provides ample room for cars, tractors or motorcycles. Head out onto the back patio to enjoy the luxurious pool and finely manicured landscaping surround. Additional features include security system with driveway alert, concrete dog run, versatile floorplan with 4600 sqft of living space, and storage shed with concrete floor and electricity. An opportunity like this does not come around often - A retreat-style home and location set in the heart of the Brandywine Valley.
