Description

Located in the heart of Charlestown Township, this beautiful Chester County style farmhouse has nearly 8,000 square feet of finished space from the basement to the 3rd floor. This five bedroom plus bonus in law/au pair suite with 5 full bathrooms and 3 halves, is one of the finest stucco remediation renovations I have ever seen. House was taken down to the studs, insulated with new Rockwood insulation, then replaced with Chester County fieldstone and James Hardie siding (all four elevations incorporate design elements of stone, colonial red standing seam porch roofs, deluxe AZEK window/door trim, and James Hardie siding). There is a new 50-year Certain Teed roof with all copper valleys/step flashings. All work was overseen by an independent third-party inspector. Warranties transfer. The natural gas heated salt water pool was installed in 2023 and features a waterfall, grotto, 6 LED lights, sun deck, and in pool seating. There is extensive hardscaping/landscaping and landscape lighting throughout the entire property! A whole house Cummins 30Kw generator powers the entire property (upgraded PECO gas line delivers up to 1,000,000 btus if needed for the generator/pool heater). The backyard is your own private oasis with hot tub, koi pond with stream and several large flagstone patio areas. As you pull down the private cul-de-sac, you are greeted by a brand-new circular paver driveway with Belgium block curbing and apron, which adds to the sophistication and class that this mature nearly 2-acre private property exudes. Upon entering this home, you walk up a beautiful flagstone walkway and through a custom sapele wood front door with true beveled glass. There is a sophisticated security camera system (9 HD/night vision security cameras cover the perimeter of home). It is one of the smartest homes you could ask for: apps on your phone or tablet control Hikvision security camera system, Hydrawise irrigation, iAqua link pool, Lennox iComfort HVAC, Russound/Sonos audio system (6 zones on 3 floors plus outdoor Bose speakers). All of the details on these systems are located in the document section. As you enter the home, you will notice the openness and flow with hardwood, 9’ ceilings, family room with raised hearth fireplace and an amazing custom large window overlooking the backyard/pool (it is one of the biggest windows made by Pella!). Continuing on the main floor is the gourmet kitchen with stone wall, plenty of cabinet space, quartz countertops, large island, ship-lap ceilings w/two skylights, two pantries (one is walk-in), and mudroom off the garage with six cubbies. Powder room, laundry room, and garage access are right off the kitchen. This floor also boasts a unique square shaped formal dining room, formal living room with gas fireplace, large office space with interior french-glass doors with lots of cherry built-ins and a second half bath. The fully finished basement has media area, wet bar with beautiful wood built-ins, gym, in-law/au pair suite with full bathroom, as well as a separate half bath. There are multiple storage areas and the walkout door and adjacent windows let in lots of natural light. On the second floor, the primary bedroom is quite spacious with tray ceilings, a separate large sitting room, walk-in closet, large bathroom with jetted tub, stall shower and double sinks. Hardwood floors go throughout the second floor. There is a princess suite with private bath and large closet, two additional bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bath, an additional laundry room with extra large washer and dryer, and large bonus/hangout room over the garage. But wait, that’s not all! There is a fully finished attic/3rd floor with hardwood floors, huge bedroom, full bath, living area, and a walk-in cedar closet. ZERO wall to wall carpeting, hardwood/tile on all four levels and a new epoxy garage floor. In the award winning Great Valley School District.
