Welcome to 480 Sycamore Mills Road - a truly remarkable stone Colonial located within a serene suburban enclave and surrounded by the beauty of the Ridley Creek valley. Elegant classic revival details highlight the home's superior construction. An appropriately-proportioned and architecturally accurate application of these details - rarely found in today's new builds - includes a stunning entryway and beautifully-executed window surrounds. The deep entryway is a welcomed landing for visitors and sets the tone for the home's interior. A wide center hall allows for excellent flow throughout the home and provides access to both formal and informal spaces. The large formal dining room with built-in corner cabinets and triple window is absolutely stunning. The home's sun-filled formal living room reiterates the feel - gather here to enjoy the warmth of the classically styled fireplace or take in the view of the grounds through the sun-filled bay window. A sizable first floor owners suite is located just beyond these spaces. Spacious and serene, its location truly allows for a peaceful start or relaxing end of your day. The home's family room with brick fireplace, built-in bookcases and crown molding is positioned to bring the outdoors in - sliders to the large gracious slate patio flood the space with natural light. The home's spacious kitchen with granite counters, maple cabinets and top-of-the-line appliances, features an expansive tiered island and breakfast room with access to a beautiful screened porch - a fantastic feature when entertaining outdoors or a quiet place for unwinding at the end of the day. A tiled mudroom with laundry is conveniently stationed just beyond the kitchen and provides access to the home's deck, while a powder room is placed opposite the basement stair. Upstairs, you'll find a beautiful and large second-floor landing, three additional large sunny bedrooms, a full hall bath and two attic storage spaces. Beautiful foundation plants, a large yard, mature specimen trees and thoughtful exterior spaces add to the home's aesthetic appeal. Set among the backdrop of the historic Ridley Creek valley, with access to its many parks, trails and open spaces nearby, 480 Sycamore Mills is located within the Rose Tree-Media School District, with easy access to commuter routes, Philadelphia International Airport and rail to Center City.
