About This Home

As of October 2019

Welcome to 81 Founders Way, a gorgeous 4 bedroom home on a spacious, corner lot in the community of Lakeridge and the award winning Downingtown School District featuring the highly sought after STEM Academy! Step into the grand foyer with beautiful hardwood flooring that leads you to the formal living room with crown molding and chair rail that spreads to the formal dining room with trey ceiling. The bright kitchen boasts an abundance of cabinet space, granite countertops, wall oven, pantry, recessed lighting, center island with breakfast bar and gas cooktop, and a sunny breakfast area. The spacious sunroom off the kitchen offers access to the rear deck and endless possibilities for use: dining area, sitting area, playroom, or even a craft room! Spend some time in the grand family room with vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace, skylights, and a triple window offering views of the tree-lined backyard while bathing the room in sunlight. The first floor study features beautiful built-in bookshelves and cabinetry. Enjoy the added convenience of the main floor powder and laundry rooms. Ascend to the second story and meet the master retreat with sitting area, large walk-in closet, and a master bathroom with tile flooring, soaking tub and standing shower. There are 3 additional, generously sized bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. The impressively finished, walk-out basement is an entertainers dream with a full wet bar, recreation space, and bonus family room with ventless fireplace! The basement features don t stop there! Also enjoy another office space, a bonus room that could be used as a 5th bedroom and a full bath! Outside, relax on the rear deck with pergola or the stone patio, both overlooking the spacious rear yard featuring impressive landscaping, mature trees and a peaceful stream running along the edge of the property. Take advantage of the 3-car, attached garage for additional storage solutions. Additional features include: new hot water heater, newer HVAC system, whole home generator, electric pet fence and much more. Conveniently located close to major roadways for commuting, Marsh Creek State Park for recreation, and many shopping and dining options! This home has been meticulously cared for by the current owners and is ready for you to make it your own!
