Priced at below appraised value -- see attached appraisal. Spectacular, expansive ranch on a private lane in the desirable Greenville/Centerville area backing to the what was originally the Crawford Greenewalt Conservancy and is now over 375 acres of land owned by the Delaware Nature Society as part of their Coverdale Farm Preserve. The land alone because of its backyard being 375 acres of conserved land, with no improvements would be valued at $500,000. Imagine entertaining poolside and enjoying the vistas of rolling hills and magnificent unspoiled views. From the moment you enter this Booker built ranch home, you will know that this is the one that you have been waiting for. It has a spacious entry with views to the wonderful back yard oasis, a generously sized dining room that comfortably accommodates 10 or 12 adults, a stunningly updated kitchen complete with top of the line stainless steel appliances, beautiful granite counter tops, a gorgeous tile mosaic backsplash, a large eat-in island, stunning dry bar and wet bar areas and easy access to the pool and patio for grilling and entertaining. The large family room has a window wall overlooking the beautiful grounds and pool area with views of the nature conservancy beyond plus floor to ceiling built-ins and a cozy wood burning fireplace. A formal living room rounds out the upstairs entertaining space and an oversized laundry/crafts room is conveniently located off the kitchen near the garage entry. The bedroom wing can be shut for privacy and includes the large master bedroom with his and hers closets, views of the private backyard, and a full en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the main floor. On the lower level, you will find two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a large media room with a full walk-out sliding glass door. It is the location, lot and nature preserve in your backyard that make this home so unique. Enjoy the in ground pool and pool house complete with outside shower, bathroom, and mini kitchen area. When the nights get a little chilly, walk up to the oversized fire-pit located just at the edge of the property overlooking the Conservancy. This is a setting that is impossible to duplicate and a home that you will want to call your own. Call to make your appointment; don't miss this one!
