Nestled in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, a 4.7 acre oasis provides ultimate privacy and tranquility to this remarkable estate in the Great Valley School District. Exquisite design meets modern luxury with tasteful and timeless updates made throughout this exclusive retreat. A wraparound driveway escorts you home where new siding and new stone facade hug the exterior for the most charming and delightful curb appeal. An arched entry leads you into a grand foyer laid with tile flooring and features a Palladian window and tall ceilings that provide soaring open space and striking natural light that draws your attention to the curved staircase. To the left, a formal study, with distinguished custom built-ins, Brazilian hardwood floors, and a bay window, is enclosed by glass paneled French doors that can be shut for privacy. To the right of the foyer, the living room boasts crown molding, Brazilian hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and a gas fireplace encapsulated by an elegant mantle. Continue into the formal dining room where you are greeted by an abundance of daylight that trickles in from a magnificent window with a bench that invites soft pillows for seating. For the entertainer, the dining room creates the perfect space to host dinners for your most important guests. Tasteful wainscoting and crown molding embraces the room in style while the Brazilian hardwoods continue to grace the floors. An adjoining Butler’s Pantry transitions into a gourmet eat-in kitchen carefully thought out with the entertainer in mind with a huge wrap around island, ample cabinet space, two sinks, gas cooking, and granite countertops. A common architectural element seen in this home are tall, cathedral and vaulted ceilings that begin in the family room, featuring a gas fireplace for ambiance, and into the 4 season sun room that overlooks the rolling hills of your scenic backyard. For your own secluded retreat, the primary suite on the second floor is a luxurious escape that begins in the sitting room with a gas fireplace and continues into the bedroom with vaulted ceilings and French doors that open onto your own private deck where you can enjoy a glass of wine under the stars. The primary ensuite continues down its own hallway with his and hers walk-in closets and into the newly renovated bathroom with two toilet rooms, two vanities, a luxurious soaking tub beneath a skylight, walk-in tile shower with dual rain shower heads, and tile flooring - the ultimate spa-like hideaway. Completing the second floor, you will find a generously sized laundry room and 3 more bedrooms (one with vaulted ceilings and Palladian windows) each with their own renovated full bathroom that match the aesthetic of the primary suite, giving each guest their own taste of luxury. The finished basement is an entertainer’s dream with a pool table room featuring a wet bar that includes a kegerator, mini fridge, sink and dishwasher. The basement also has two lounges - one with a fireplace for poker games and a second that can be used as a theater room - two additional guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, and sliding doors to the patio. If you enjoy the outdoors, the huge two-tier deck overlooks the tranquil backyard where you can often enjoy visits from deer, fox, and box turtles, or you can enjoy the built-in fire pit on your paver stone patio. In addition to a new exterior and renovated bathrooms, other improvements include a cedar shake roof, expanded driveway, new water heater, new HVAC 3-zone system, and new sliding doors in the basement. While you are tucked away in the serenity of Charlestown, you are also centrally located with easy access to the turnpike, corporate centers, several shopping centers and other great amenities of walking trails, a new recreation center, and be a part of an award winning school district. Luxury can be yours! Schedule an exclusive private tour of this lovely estate and begin your next chapter here.
