About This Home
Welcome to Applegate, one of Chester County's most sought after neighborhoods. Finally, a true 5 bedroom home is available in this great neighborhood! The owners have spared no expense upgrading and maintaining the home. There is a combination of value add features that are a rare find! As you approach the home, you'll immediately notice the sharp curb appeal and exterior improvements. This includes the replacement siding and roof with gutters and downspouts, as well as the just completed driveway and walkway resurfacing. Prepare to be wowed by the inside! A dramatic 2 story entry welcomes you into the home. You'll love the open floor plan which is great for entertaining! The main level is highlighted by the eat-in kitchen. It's a cook's dream with brand new, never used stainless appliances, large island, granite countertops, 42" cabinets, double wall oven, and walk in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is the sunny breakfast area and family room. The large and cozy family room directly opens to the kitchen and features a brand new electric fireplace insert. The main level also features your traditional dining and living rooms, plus a private office, laundry/mudroom and updated powder room. Upstairs you will be pleasantly surprised to see 5 true bedrooms! A rare find in this neighborhood! This level is highlighted by the primary bedroom suite. The bedroom is massive and bright with triple windows and tray ceiling. Step into the luxurious spa-like completely updated primary bathroom. It features a soaking tub, oversized walk in shower, new fixtures, vanity & flooring. Through the bathroom, you’ll see the deep and expansive walk in closet. Another highlight of this level is the completely renovated hall bathroom. A junior suite with walk in closet plus 3 additional generously sized bedrooms complete this level. The full unfinished basement provides ample storage and is pre piped for a bathroom with over 1,800 sq ft for you to use as you see fit! Looking for outdoor space? The 2 separate large rear decks are a perfect place to enjoy the summer months! Need more value? This home is energy efficient with newer HVAC systems and dual zones. It must be seen in person to fully appreciate the mint condition which includes recent painting of every inch of the house! For so many reasons, Applegate is an extremely desirable neighborhood.
