About This Home

As of March 2018

Stunning one of a kind Shingle style home designed by noted architects Archer & Buchanan & built by Griffiths Construction on a bucolic 3 acre site. A winding driveway leads to the sunlit house overlooking 500 acres of Natural Lands Trust's Stroud's Preserve. About half the property is woodsy, meaning not much lawn to cut! The long spectacular views in every direction will never change. As you walk from foyer into the living room, your eyes are drawn to the wall of curved windows with the WOW view over conservation land. Please note the outstanding millwork and gas fireplace. Enjoy winter evenings by the wood burning fireplace in the library with floor to ceiling shelves and glass front lighted cabinets. The inviting dining room has French doors to a front garden, built in bar w/Marvel wine fridge, and built-in china closet. Pass through the butler's pantry with lots of storage & pantry closet to the kitchen featuring a stunning oiled hickory island, cherry cabinetry with soapstone and granite counters, dual sinks & Bosch, Dacor, Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances. French doors lead to a screened porch and southern facing terrace, again with that million dollar view. A hallway from the LR leads to the master bedroom with French pocket doors to a delightful sleeping porch/sitting room, and stairs to an enclosed outdoor shower! Seldom seen His and Hers master baths are sure to please with radiant heated floors in both, soaking tub in Hers, and oversized shower, heated mirror and towel bars in His. Upstairs is an office/sitting room overlooking the foyer, 2 ensuite guest bedrooms, huge walk in cedar closet, and abundant attic storage. Above the 3+ car garage is the 4th bedroom, full bath, and good sized sitting room/office with builtins. Just what you need in-law suite, nanny quarters, or extra bedroom for guests. The pool is privately situated overlooking open space and has a covered patio and changing room. The basement is plumbed for bath & ready to finish with abundant windows and an arched double door into radiant floored area for the car enthusiast or hobbyist. Minutes from West Chester borough & convenient to Wilmington and Septa/Amtrak trains. The best of everything has been thoughtfully incorporated into this exceedingly happy house. The owners' superb taste, attention to each small detail, and their good stewardship make this a very special and welcoming place for the lucky new owner
