A home this unique and special is hard to describe. It was originally built as a four bedroom 2 bath ranch style home. The present owner has transformed and upgraded it beautifully while maintaining the warmth of the original. Set back from the road, you enter down a long private driveway. The front entrance is framed with an assortment of special perennial plantings. There is something blooming 9 months of the year. The entry foyer is slate and a lovely powder room is located here. Directly ahead you'll find the Formal living room with fireplace, built ins and a great den/office behind pocket doors. To the right the hallway leads to three bedrooms and two baths. The Main Bedroom is light filled with a great view of the gardens and wonderful ensuite bath. There is also a private patio through the French doors. There are two additional bedrooms and a hall bath in this wing of the home. Head back to the foyer and enter the open concept kitchen/dining room. Here you will find access to the rear patio framed with beautiful wisteria vines to shade you. Adjacent and open to the Kitchen/ Dining area you enter a spacious family room with a large custom hearth and gas fireplace. And still the charm continues with an oversized window seat, built ins and natural light from two sides. There's more! Now you are entering a newer wing where you'll find the gallery/conservatory. This space is two story, French doors to the outside, access to the garage and a beautiful full bath. There is a staircase to bedroom number four which is quite large and used by the present owner as a dormitory style room for grandkids. It has angled ceilings and two great closets. There is a two car attached garage, partial basement with crawl space. Home has two heating systems; both fueled by oil, the second propane. On the garage roof there are solar panels and the owner sells the power generated back to the power company. It's hard to describe the sense of tranquility you feel in this enchanting home. Just minutes to Delaware and also the burgeoning Borough of Kennett Square with great shops and restaurants. The owner has maintained this home for you to enjoy. Schedule a showing, you'll be charmed.
