About This Home

As of January 2026

Steps from historic Brandywine Springs State Park, this adorable hillside residence offers generous living space and timeless charm in the sought-after Spice Mill Run subdivision. The eat-in kitchen features abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, and a double oven. A cozy covered side-entrance cooking porch is the perfect setting for cooking and dining al fresco. The kitchen flows into a spacious great room highlighted by a vaulted ceiling, a handsome fireplace with custom built-ins and an eye-catching mantel, and two striking arched walk-out double doors that fill the space with natural light. Just off the center hall, the generously sized main-level owner’s suite includes a private deck with park views and a four-piece bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower. The upper level offers two additional oversized bedrooms and a full hall bath. The finished lower level expands the living space with a massive great room featuring a walk-out basement, a gas fireplace, and two multi-purpose rooms suited for media/exercise/office/ game room—ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Recent updates include a new water heater (2024) and HVAC system (2026). Tucked away yet conveniently located, this charming home’s unique architecture and serene setting create a tranquil retreat you’ll be proud to call home.
