Stunning all-brick renovated 3 story colonial nestled among the beautiful rolling hills of Chadds Ford and located next to the famous Kuerner Farm that was the subject of many of Andrew Wyeth’s paintings. No expense was spared when this 6,000 square foot 5 bedroom 4 ½ bath custom estate was completely transformed from a modest cape cod in 2008. All 3 floors boast solid tongue and groove oak wood floors, tall ceilings, solid 6 panel doors, custom wainscoting, and oversized solid wood crown moldings. The oversized windows provide stunning views of the nearly 3 acre property with a flowing creek at the northern boundary, flowering fruit trees, mature shrubs and perennials, Wisconsin willows, pines, and black walnut trees from every room and vantage point. The main floor houses 2 living rooms, one with a brick wood-burning fireplace with intricate mantle and the other opening directly to the formal dining room allowing for expanded eating areas for large gatherings. The eat-in kitchen features custom wood cabinets, granite counters, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and is separated from the living room by pocket doors. After ascending the wide staircase with stencil wood, solid oak treads, finished risers, and hand-rubbed shellac railings; you will find the spacious Master Bedroom with en suite bathroom with solid cast iron clawfoot tub, oversized glass enclosed shower with subway tile, his and her sinks, and more oak wood floors. 2 additional large bedrooms round out the 2nd floor. The versatile 3rd floor is home to a 22 x 16 foot 4th bedroom that would be perfect for a large secluded home office or a quiet nursery since a convenient 5th bedroom with private bathroom, ideal for an au pair, is located right across the hall. Below these 3 well thought out floors is even more living space in the fully finished basement with tile floors, outside entrance, full bath, laundry room, bonus/game room with extra storage, and plenty of natural light. At the rear of the home is a 55 foot landscaped patio with a Kentucky dry laid stone wall with custom designed natural footage, stone and brick outdoor fireplace, and built-in grill. Wide stone steppers lead to the side yard with a shed and fenced garden with healthy soil and asparagus beds. The entire property is enclosed with a 4 foot high hinged orchard fence while the 2-car attached garage with inside access and large driveway provide ample parking. 12 zone hydronic heating with copper pipes and cast iron baseboards, 2 A/C zones, boiler and oversized separate hot water tank allow precise control of the interior environment. Conveniently located in the desirable Unionville-Chadds Ford School District and close to shopping, restaurants, golf courses, museums like Hagley and Winterthur, historic sights like the Brandywine Battlefield, Brandywine River activities, and the world-famous Longwood Gardens just minutes away.
