This impressive, French-style home is located on a corner lot in the most desirable section of Edenridge, walking distance to DuPont Country Club and a short distance to the Y and JCC. Architectural highlights include solid stucco-over-masonry, with quoined corners and elliptical arches over the double front door and all first-floor windows, which face an expansive parkland. Professionally landscaped front to back, this home features a private backyard, which through a vine-covered, trellised gate leads to an oasis of planted beds, hydrangeas and wisteria, complimenting festive lounging areas that surround an in-ground pool with brick coping, a perfect setting for entertaining.

Inside, a circular traffic flow connects all the common living areas, with hardwood floors throughout. A front-to-back entry hall accesses not only the formal rooms in front and informal living areas to the rear, it also opens directly onto the backyard pool terrace. The updated kitchen features marble countertops, white cabinetry and an extension to a sunroom with additional access and view of the pool and garden. The cozy back family room includes an updated high-efficiency gas insert fireplace and also overlooks the pool and garden.

While the main-level rooms are generous in size and filled with natural light, all four bedrooms claim those assets as well. In addition, a large, finished basement is the perfect quiet space for a home office, and is expansive enough to accommodate a separate entertainment center.

Inviting, comfortable and the essence of easy living, this attractive home is adaptable to many needs, boasts an active, thriving community with many established families and multiple neighborhood events throughout the year, while centrally located to Concord Pike and I-95—in short, a location and setting that accommodates every wish list.
