51 Ridings Way, Chadds Ford, PA 19317

Welcome home to 51 Ridings Way - an elegant, well-appointed colonial home nestled on a breathtaking lushly landscaped premium 1.2-acre lot at the end of a peaceful cul de sac, in the sought after “The Ridings of Chadds Ford” neighborhood, situated in the award-winning Unionville-Chadds Ford school district. Only available due to downsizing / relocation. The neighborhood is truly unique with two different scenarios. Some homeowners prefer to sell their property in “as-is” condition with the damaged stucco still in place leaving the remediation expenses to new owners (as seen recently with several listings), while others have already invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete the stucco remediation which can range from $150,000 to more than $300,000 depending on the extent of damages and cost of building supplies. My current property owners have already made the investment of over $225,000 into this property covering all expenses for exterior remediations and upgrades: Hardie Plank siding (2022), ViWinco windows and sliding glass three-panel door (2022), Precision garage doors (2022), a Generac whole house gas back-up generator (2025), an invisible electric dog fence, and interior upgrade of appliances (i. e. , a LG gas 5-burner range with numerous cooking options [air fryer, convection oven, etc. (2024); Samsung stainless steel refrigerator (2024); GE stainless steel double wall-ovens (2026)); and a custom Master Walk-in Closet (by Closets-by-Design, 2021) – the closet the size of another bedroom. Most of these renovations include warranties that are transferable. With all these upgrades and renovations, this property, at this price, is a steal! A truly exceptional home inside & out, this beautiful colonial with endless charm has been lovingly maintained with many recent updates as already noted. A lovely meandering paver walkway leads you past a stunning facade adorned by abundant lush landscaping to a French double-door entry that walks into the grand towering foyer with a turned staircase and beautiful gleaming hardwood floors flowing throughout the main and upper levels. From the foyer, off to the right is a beautiful formal living room featuring a cozy brick gas fireplace and French double-doors leading to a spacious and bright study/office. To the left of the foyer is the formal dining room with crown molding and wainscotting that openly flows into the spectacular updated gourmet kitchen, complete with a suite of quality updated stainless-steel appliances, beautiful countertops, lots of beautiful custom cabinetry, an island with beautiful granite stone and a sunny breakfast room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a conveniently located family room with a cathedral ceiling, palladium window with beautiful views over the lovely flat backyard (ideal for a pool), and triple pane door-window that walks out to the low maintenance deck. Completing the main level is a conveniently located half bath, main-level laundry and inside access to an oversized 3 car garage. On the upper level is a beautiful updated primary suite with a large walk-in closet with custom closet organizers and an updated en suite bath. Completing the upper level are three additional very nicely sized bedrooms, all with generous closets, a spacious hall bath and walk-in attic storage area off one of the bedrooms. There is enough space to add an en suite and make this a second primary suite since it already has a large walk-in closet. The finished basement with several windows of natural light provides additional living space for family fun (movie night, Super Bowl party) and it also has plenty of storage space. Conveniently located within minutes of shopping, restaurants, major routes such as I-95, Rt. 202, Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), Longwood Gardens, local attractions, area wineries and museums, West Chester and Kennett Square Boroughs.
