Upstairs, the master bedroom has its own full bath allowing a quiet respite at the end of your day. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor. As if all of this wasn't enough, the bonus room in the basement with half bath adds additional living space and can be an extra bedroom, office, media room or whatever you so choose. Don't miss this wonderful home in the blue ribbon award winning Unionville-Chadds Ford school district.
