For the buyer seeking a neighborhood setting with wooded privacy and very close proximity to schools, parks, shopping centers, and train stations. The Tredyffrin-Easttown school district elementary school, middle school, and high school are all less than 2 miles away, as are parks, shopping and trains. You turn into the driveway and crossover Trout Creek on your own driveway bridge which highlights the curb appeal of this property. The whole house generator ensures there is always power so no more worrying about losing power from storms or fallen trees. The large bright foyer greets you with natural hardwood floors and streaming light throughout this nicely appointed home. The open floor plan allows you to move easily from one room to another. From the foyer, to your right is a formal living room fully appointed with moldings and windows. This room is currently used for family fun with a pool table. To the left of the foyer is the formal dining room, located close to the kitchen for easy entertaining. The kitchen is large with eat in, and island counter seating. The center island has a cooktop and there are double ovens for greater cooking capacity. There is a great deal of cabinet space, and a back staircase that connects to the front staircase. The position of the kitchen and adjoining family room provide tremendous convenience and help to fully enjoy the large outdoor pool patio entertainment area. Kitchen area French doors lead outside to a gorgeous in-ground pool with a waterfall feature. The combined indoor and outdoor space create an ideal setting for large and small gatherings. The family room is next to the kitchen and it has an extra high ceiling with a ceiling fan. There is also a stone façade fireplace, seven large windows, and another family room door leading out to the pool patio. A mud room area with built-in shelves and cubbies leads to the 3-car garage. This main level floor also has two half baths and a home office. The second floor has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. It features a large master suite with double vanities, a large soaker tub with water jets, two sitting areas and two walk-in closets. Three additional large bedrooms are also located on the second floor. Two of these bedrooms share a full bath with double vanity. A convenient laundry area is located on the second floor as well. The lower basement level is fully finished and carpeted offering additional play and entertaining space! There is a large main area and two additional large rooms, all with 9-foot ceilings that do not feel like you are in a basement. The rooms can be game rooms, potentially a fifth bedroom, a playroom, a home office or gym. This lower level also has French doors that walk out to another patio area, and the third full bath that has a pedestal sink, beautiful tile flooring and an oversized shower. The outdoor space on this property is amazing! Entertain outside most of the year with your beautiful inground pool with waterfall, large patio with pergola, a retractable awning and beautiful landscaping. You will feel like you are on vacation surrounded by the private wooded back yard. Very few Tredyffrin-Easttown school district properties offer such close proximity to the schools, shops, parks and trains with 5.3 low maintenance acres (about 1 acre of grass) to provide spacious privacy. Do not delay seeing this gorgeous home in person, make your appointment.
