Welcome home to your new peaceful retreat. If you're craving seclusion, tranquility, and your own private slice of paradise then this is it! 2.2 acres nestled amongst trees and flanked by The West Branch of the Brandywine Creek, with these views you will never want to leave home again! Nature enthusiasts will rejoice at the abundance of wildlife. With an addition in 2014 the home now offers 3 bedrooms (one on the main floor!) and 2.5 baths. As you step off the covered porch you are met with an ample amount of natural light and gorgeous hardwood floors. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar perfect for sipping your morning coffee while watching the Brandywine Creek flow by, and a dutch door that leads out to a spacious deck perfect for entertaining. The dining room boasts exposed wood beams and built in shelving. A family room adjoins the living room and would also be an ideal office, den or playroom. A bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom and a half bathroom/laundry room combo, with a custom arched wood door, complete the main floor. The second floor provides 2 additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Charm and character abound inside and out of this home. Don't miss the adorable outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a day wading in the creek, or the fire pit. Imagine the many nights you will gather around the fire roasting marshmallows or relaxing after a long day. If that wasn't enough the oversized two car garage has been converted into additional living space with a half bathroom (which could easily be turned into a full bathroom with the roughed in plumbing). This space would be perfect as a guest house, in-law suite, art studio, or your own private fitness center. The possibilities are endless! An outdoor shed provides storage. 2 additional small outbuildings at the far end of the property could provide additional storage or a small workshop with a little TLC. A generator for peace of mind! Don't miss the opportunity to make this private oasis yours!
