Situated within walking distance of Makefield Elementary on the east end of Makefield Road & Pennwood Middle school on the west end, is a charming 4-5 bedroom 2 level colonial ready to provide you w/ a wealth of opportunities. There is a beautifully landscaped front yard w/ mature oak trees, a tulip tree that bursts w/ pink flowers in early spring & paved walkways all framed w/ a split rail fence. Set far back from the road is a large two story brick colonial home w/ all the qualities That Robert Young would have on the set of Father Knows Best. Entering through the leaded glass front door & bead board entryway, you will notice that all of the rooms in this home have oak flooring, crown molding, chair rail molding & are large & open - a rarity in homes of this age. From the entryway, you have a number of options ? turn left & you enter the living rm running the full depth of the home. If you turn right, you would be in the formal dining rm & if you moved straight ahead you would find yourself in the middle of a large kitchen filled w/ an abundance of cabinetry & counter space. Anyone in the kitchen will have a full view of what is happening in the living rm-great for easy entertaining. A white brick f/p w/ gas insert adds charm & warmth to the eat-in kitchen. Sliding glass doors open onto a professionally installed brick paver patio setting & beyond, a recently remodeled & heated in-ground pool. A wood privacy fence at the west & east ends & a 20' deep heavily wooded forest of trees & bushes at the back edge of the property gives you the privacy you seek. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms, all w/ large closets of their own. The master suite & all of the other bedrooms have plantation shutters for a very rich & finished look. The master bath has a large shower & vanity. A hall bath has a full tub/shower & updated vanity & toilet. On the same level is a walk-in ~ height attic that could serve as a special play area or to store all sorts of things. If that isn't enough storage for you, take the steps to a partially floored third floor attic for even more space. The full sized basement has been sealed with a foamed on thermal barrier that keeps it moisture free & comfortable. Many homes of this vintage were built with space for a professional practice. The current owners have turned their space into a 3-room in-law suite w/ full bath, but your imagination will think of many other uses. The suite is separated from the kitchen by a large walk-through laundry rm.
