Fabulous spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bath cape cod nestled on the hillside in the bucolic countryside of historic Chadds Ford in the Brandywine Valley and located in the award winning Garnet Valley School district (the school bus stops right in front of the driveway). Convenient to Beaver Valley Conservancy trails for mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding just steps from the yard that lead to Brandywine Creek State Park. Penn's Wood Winery is also hiking / walking distance, and the Brandywine Creek is less than 3 miles down Smithbridge rd. Upon entering this lovely home, you're greeted by gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout the entire main level that includes a spacious family room with scenic bay window views out over the valley and nature abounds and a cozy wood burning fireplace, a formal dining room and an exquisite updated kitchen with stainless appliances, lovely cabinetry and walks out to the side terrace for breathtaking scenic views out over the valley and the large fenced in backyard. Completing the main level are two spacious bedrooms (one that is currently used for a home office) and a full bath. On the upper level you'll find the master bedroom with a sitting area and a vaulted ceiling, a full hall bath and a fourth spacious bedroom. The unfinished dry basement with high ceilings walks out to the garage and is ready to be finished to suit your needs. This fabulous home is conveniently situated with easy access to routes 1 & 202, leading to all major shopping centers, schools, parks, restaurants, family activities, and corporate centers; just a short travel to Wilmington, Philadelphia, West Chester, the Philadelphia International Airport, Amtrak train stations, and more. All this and super low taxes of $6,094 (2022)!!

This house sits on a beautiful lot, which provides ample outdoor space. Inside, the home has been almost completely updated, except for the windows. The bedrooms are well sized, but all the closets are small.
