Welcome to Brandywine Hills. This classic brick house sits back on a very private 1.6 acre wooded lot. The front stoop looks out over a valley, with a stream and an assortment of wildlife playing below. The back is equally private, with a large back deck and manicured pachysandra beds. The inside has been very well maintained and updated regularly. The first floor has a good-sized living room and dining room, adjoining the kitchen with granite counter tops and back splashes and oak cabinets. The kitchen seating area has a bay window looking out onto the trellised back deck. The sunken den has a wood burning fireplace and sliding doors out onto the deck. Great entertaining space. The top of the driveway has three parking spots and a two-car garage with an interior entry. There is also an exterior rear entry, which passes through the laundry room. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two baths. The primary bedroom has its own walk-in closet and bath. Across the hall are two average-sized bedrooms and full bath. The fourth bedroom is separate and would also make a nice office or study. All are newly recarpeted. The basement is partially finished with a nice sized recreational area and adjoining utility workspace and crawlspace under the den. Out back is a whole-house generator. The property is located south of West Chester off Rt 52, within the award-winning Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. The area is well known for its cultural heritage, including the Brandywine River Museum and Longwood Gardens. Local restaurants include the soon-to-be-reopened Hank’s Place, Brandywine Prime and Agave, as well as lots of eat-in and take-out options in Kennett Square and West Chester. Kennett has a walking park, YMCA and a fabulous new library. Easy commute to Philadelphia and its airport or to Wilmington and the Amtrak station.
