When you dream of the perfect combination of inspired styling, gorgeous park-like setting, fun for both everyday living & entertaining, PLUS the accredited Downingtown Schools --- you are dreaming of 26 Blakely Road! Such an idyllic setting on a corner lot with 1 acre of grassy yards, expertly landscaped gardens, blooming shrubbery, and mature trees. And look --- a fairytale cottage playhouse with front porch, windows, siding, shingled roof & electric! The home features a Reception Foyer and first floor replete with hardwood floors, including newer Brazilian hardwoods. To your left is the formal Living Room, with wide entryways and elegant millwork & crown molding trim. The stylish design continues into the Dining Room, where large holiday gatherings or weekday meals will overlook the bucolic back yard. WOW --- the redesigned Eat-In Kitchen now includes high-end enhancements such as trimmed raised-panel cabinetry & glass curios; Corian counters & backsplash; peninsula with dual-sided cabinets; under-cabinet glassware rack; brushed nickel faucet; extra recessed lighting; spacious pantry; and all the appliances are included: fridge, dishwasher; range/stove; and built-in microwave. And the Breakfast Room has a bumped-out bay window that welcomes in the beautiful natural light! The sizeable 25x14 Family Room features built-in bookcases and cabinetry, as well as a white brick fireplace & hearth with wood mantle. Perhaps the true showcase of this home is the stunning Florida Room, with its walls of sun-filled glass sliders out to the wrap-around Deck w/ steps down to the yards; french-door entry; skylights & exposed beams; and gas stove for heat/inverter for cooling so you can enjoy this additional living space every day of the year! Also on this floor is a Powder Room, and do not miss the inside access into the 2-Car Garage and the Mudroom with bench/cubbies storage system plus beaded panel cabinets. Upstairs is the Master Suite with Bedroom; Walk-In Closet; and upgraded Full Bath including double-sink vanity, expanded tile shower, brushed nickel fixtures, and beadboard accent walls. Down the hall are three more Bedrooms (use one as an Office!); Full Bath with tub/shower combo; Laundry; and pull-down steps to the floored Attic offering extra storage space. More storage/workroom/informal rec space in the Full Basement! So much more: updated double-hung windows; 40yr roof & leaf guards on gutters; new hot water heater 2019; HVAC furnace replaced; new central air 2019. Septic was inspected & new tank installed Spring 2021, and in May Modern Exterminating is performing a termite inspection w/ certification PLUS warranty for the new owners! (property already under annual preventative contract). AND one-year AHS ShieldComplete Home Warranty! Such amazing peace-of-mind for the lucky new owners! The Tunbridge neighborhood has NO HOA, and is minutes to shopping; parks; Septa/Amtrak trains; major routes like Rte 30 By-Pass, PA Turnpike, Rtes 202 & 100 plus Philly & DE & shore points. Downingtown Schools & minutes to STEM Academy!

R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Residential District is intended to maintain areas of low population density, compatible with the existing rural character and pattern of single-family residential land use, the significant constraints imposed by the natural environment particularly steep slopes and groundwater limitations, the lack of existing or planned community sewage facilities, the limited capacity of the road network, and the policy of the Township to limit the use of central water supply systems within the district in order to provide for orderly growth and utilization of natural resources in accordance with the Township Comprehensive Plan. Residential densities and dwelling types are established as means to achieve this land conservation objective and as appropriate components of the overall pattern of land use that is provided throughout the Township. Clustering of single-family dwellings is offered and encouraged as a site design mechanism to further the resource conservation objective.
