Combining country farmhouse style with modern, luxury upgrades, this completely renovated home on a cul-de-sac street in Radnor Township has it all! - Enter through the gorgeous, original quarter-sawn oak front doors and into the open foyer or through the back door into the slate-floor mudroom with plenty of storage. The kitchen doorway (made of reclaimed wooden beams from a Pennsylvania barn) leads you into a bright upgraded kitchen with a breakfast bar, Viking appliances, granite countertops, beautiful wood cabinets and plenty of room left for a full dining table. The bright, corner dining room and an updated beadboard powder room both conveniently sit off of the kitchen. Relax in the living room in front of the travertine fireplace or continue outside to the spacious patio (made of Pennsylvania blue stone tiles) which is ideal for entertaining and overlooks your private backyard. The farmhouse charm abounds throughout with hardwood floors, crown molding and deep window sills in nearly every room. Continue upstairs to the master suite that feels like an oasis with a walk-in closet which includes a custom organizing system and a generously-sized master bathroom with double vanities, claw-foot tub and separate tiled shower. Three large bedrooms with ample closet space and hardwood floors, another updated full bathroom with granite vanity, and a separate laundry room complete the 2nd floor layout. The finished basement features another fireplace, recessed lighting, and an additional half-bathroom. A 3-car garage and central vacuum are just a few of the many amenities this home offers. This 2.7-acre property backs up to 12 acres of un-developed and preserved Radnor Township Woods and allows for a completely private feel in a very convenient location ~~~ just minutes from downtown Wayne, train and highways, Radnor running/biking trails, Villanova University, Radnor schools and much more.
