Picture yourself heading up the driveway pulling into your 6 car garage. You're glad you dropped the top to enjoy the warm summer breeze flowing through the glorious trees. You found your place in the world steeped in history in picturesque Chadds Ford Township. (Please do not drive up until you have a confirmed appointment) The historic Brinton 1704 House is across the street and the 71 acre Brinton Run Preserve, just steps away at 20 Oakland Drive, West Chester PA. Built in 1900 and meticulously renovated by J Stevens in 2021 from top to bottom including new septic, expanded well and new windows with Smith and Noble custom shades, modern kitchen with Bosch refrigerator, and 3 beautiful new full baths, plus a powder room. This thoughtful renovation, added living space with the finished basement and the 4th floor attic made into a lovely bonus room that could serve as a guest room or studio with fabulous views. You decide! You're just a short drive to Route 1, Downtown West Chester, Wegmans and the new Crumbl cookies. Pack your bags and don't forget to register for school in the highly rated Unionville Chadds Ford school district, if needed. Floor plans available. Seller is relocating for work. Fun Facts about the property: The 4 stall stable behind the garage was home to a few Quarter Horses including April and Starr. Once upon a time, there was a landscape nursery next door. Neighbor asked permission to "temporarily" plant some trees he was selling. We assume they did not sell, thankfully! The stained glass window on the staircase was added around 1940. Details unknown. The current residents enjoy morning walks to the lake at Brinton Run Preserve. We hear it's magical! You can still see hints of the original house, including the pocket door in the dining room.
