A remarkable once in a lifetime property in bucolic southern Chester County. Classic 1915 Arts & Craft Avondale stone house in breathtaking 28 acre setting along the White Clay Creek. House sits well off the road back a long curving driveway and is framed with 100 year old well maintained trees & established perennial beds The foyer, living and dining rooms feature 5 foot oak wainscoting , built-in chestnut cabinetry and original French doors. Kitchen with eating area and lots of windows opens to a ground level deck and serene pool area. Steps away is a perfect vegetable garden plot and garden shed. Enjoy the million dollar view and sunsets from the west enclosed porch with wood stove. The first floor bedroom opens to the east enclosed porch-these rooms could become a charming two room suite. The first floor study could easily become a 3rd BDR since there is a full bath adjacent to that room. Upstairs is totally master suite with walls of windows, cozy sitting area, laundry, and master bath. Above the 3 car garage is a 23x23 sunny studio with deck - perfect for artist or at home business. This is a gem of a house sized for the discerning buyer wanting quality and character rather than square footage. If the buyer wants more space seller has architectural plans by Hillcrest Associates Inc. for an 1880 sq. ft. first floor addition which would include a breakfast area, family room, powder room, master bedroom and bath, laundry, and 2 car garage. Studio has electric and water. Another garage, two sheds and an interesting small stone ruin add to the appeal of this property.
