About This Home

As of April 2024

78 Portsmouth Circle in popular Greenbriar at Thornbury is your opportunity to start living a carefree lifestyle in a luxury townhome. This end unit sits proudly high above the street on a premium lot with a long driveway. This is the best location within the desirable community because there are vast open spaces that surround the home. It offers more privacy than many single homes in the area! Another bonus is the ample guest parking on this section of Portsmouth Circle. There are no homes across the street which means no driveways taking up valuable guest parking! This Foxton Model, a sought after style because of its open floor plan and 2 car garage, is actually larger and less expensive than many area single family homes! The brilliant layout is perfect for entertaining. Once inside, you will immediately notice the home has been meticulously maintained. The focal point of the main level is the kitchen and family room. Designed for a chef, the huge eat-in kitchen has stainless appliances, ample counter space, upgraded cabinets, and double pantry. It's open to the dramatic two story family room with recessed lights and cozy gas fireplace. The spacious primary suite highlights the upper level. The room features a tray ceiling, lighted ceiling fan, 3 windows, 2 large walk-ins, and 2 additional double closets. The luxurious bath has a dual vanity, tile floor, updated shower that was just finished last week, and soaking tub. The unfinished basement is a huge open space to use as you see fit. Like to spend time outdoors? The trail that connects the neighborhoods to Squire Cheyney Park is literally around the corner. At the park, you can walk for miles and enjoy great views. Greenbriar's location is super convenient. You have quick access to DE, Philly airport, bridges to NJ, WC & Media boroughs, all the shopping in Glen Mills and the Ellis Preserve Town Center in Newtown Square. Need more value? There is a transferable warranty on the heater, air conditioner, and hot water heater which were all replaced in 2020! These significant upgrades plus new roof installation (work to commence soon, paid in full by seller) make this home energy efficient. Buy this home and enjoy low taxes, low fees, and very little maintenance. Come quick because this opportunity won't last long!
