primary suite, finished LL and in-ground pool. Wide flagstone front porch is perfect for cup of coffee and
morning sun and serves as welcoming entry to home nestled in desirable N. Wilm.’s park-like
Brandywine Hills. Step inside and applaud impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail! Flagstone
floor, rounded corners, crystal chandelier and unspoken aura of elegance greet you in this large and
inviting foyer. Off foyer, which features both hall closet and tile floored PR, barely-there pocket door
slides back to reveal sunken expansive front room that showcases time-stamped elements. Rich
mahogany build-ins with solid wood cabinets below on either side of pocket door mirror opposite wall
of decadent mahogany paneling framing a FP. A 7-window bay graces front wall and is the source of
abundant natural light that reflects on honey-dipped original hardwood floors. Step up to an
equally spacious and striking DR with triple window. These 2 interconnected rooms are showpieces and
were designed for ultimate entertaining . Pocket door is echoed in DR and leads into kitchen, a quaint element that subtly maximizes private and peaceful dining. Kitchen stretches across back of home blending earlier-era amenities with modern must-have appointments! Original Whitehall
custom cabinets are paired with earth-hued granite countertops blended with ceramic glass backsplash. Details make the difference! Appreciate charming garden window where herbs are sure to thrive, gas cooking/SS double oven that will make entertaining easier, and designated desk area for everyday paperwork. Breakfast bar with tuck-under stools connects kitchen to morning room where there is sunny spot for dining, series of upper glass-front cabinets for displaying decorative ceramics and extended countertop ideal for coffee bar. Between kitchen and FR and from FR enjoy convenient backyard access. FR boasts a true conversation piece! This room’s cork floor is incredible and is combined with sound absorbent ceiling, perfect for catching the latest game, newest movie, or just-released songs. Shelving/cabinets line the walls, while picture window offers views to the backyard
haven. Hallway, with yesteryear feature of arched ceiling, wraps to primary suite of hardwoods, 2 large
closets/custom build-ins, all-encompassing dressing room and full retro bath/pocket door. Space and
bones are intact to easily create luxurious, spa-like bath! Finished LL is a bonus with pockets of livable
space! With beige carpeting, knotty pine paneling, dance floor and leather-wrapped bar this LL is party-
ready! Plus, a perk is a full bath. Additionally, LL has tile-floored 2-closet potential additional BR, or home office. Sizable laundry room, utility room (top-of-the line, meticulously maintained systems) and storage/crawl spaces. Adjacent is integrated 2-car garage that is currently an expansive and light-filled walk-out flex room with front facing glass sliders but can easily be converted back to a garage. Main staircase features volume ceiling and leads to upper level of 2 roomy hardwood-floored BRs with DD closets, hall bath, walk-in cedar closet and computer nook, hobby room or nursery! Backyard is an outdoor oasis! Blooming flowers, lush greenery, towering trees and 1/2 brick wall meld together to create enchanting enclave dappled with sunlight and enveloped in natural curtain of privacy. Curved flagstone terrace invites days of lounging and nights of dining around the heated, salt-water, in-ground pool. Slice of serenity! New roof, updated systems. Perfectly positioned, community is walkable to DE greenway trails, coffee shops, Wilm. Brew Works, bus line & easy access to I-95, 10 mins. to City of Wilm. /Amtrak Train Station & 25 mins. to Phil. Airport. One-of-a-kind home on Whittier Rd.!
