Originally built in 2002 by builder Jeff Berlin, this home has been thoughtfully and wonderfully reimagined into a modern French country-style home by the current homeowners. The home is situated on 2.28 acres of land within the desirable township of Chadds Ford and in the award-winning Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. The home has had a complete renovation inside and out, removing all stucco, every door, window, floor, cabinet, appliance, and all drywall to create a much more open floor plan. The square footage now encompasses 10,500 and includes 7 bedrooms and 4 and a half baths. This home was awarded 2022 Best In PA Living & 2022 Best Architectural House/Renovation Private Residence, Chadds Ford By Home Builders Association of Chester/Delaware/Bucks And Montgomery Counties.
The home features new siding and stone facade and as you approach the new double front door you enter the grand foyer and immediately admire the elegantly curved stairway and hardwood floors that run throughout the home. The first floor has a new gourmet kitchen, complete with stone wall backsplash, granite countertops, new cabinets, a large island, new double oven and cooktop, and more. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate new butler's pantry with cabinets, sink, new refrigerator, and extra counter space for storage or preparation for entertaining and holiday dinners. The separate eating area features glass doors leading to serene views for those peaceful starry nights and an updated patio with fireplace, grill, and more. The entire home has been updated with wide plank hardwood floors and new light fixtures and the first floor was updated with new exposed wooden beams to the ceilings in most rooms keeping with the updated modern French country style. The home was opened up into an open floor plan that now features a formal living room with fireplace, a sitting room, and great room adjacent to the kitchen with a gas fireplace, and a formal dining room. The first-floor in-law suite has been updated with a new full bathroom and the original open-air breezeway to the garage has been closed in to add even more charm as you progress onward to the garage. The detached three-car extended garage provides plenty of parking with a second driveway providing extra parking space. The space above the garage has been finished being creatively turned into a yoga studio. The split rail fenced grounds to the right of the house are part of the property and could be used for your pets/tennis/pool etc. Mixed landscaping with mature trees and open space surrounds this one-of-a-kind spacious home complete with an expansive horseshoe driveway that screams luxury at its finest. The elegant curved staircase leads to the second-floor grand double-door entrance of the stately owner's suite. A tray ceiling adds to the splendor of the large, spacious bedroom. The new owners updated the bathroom perfectly, updated the sitting room and closet by opening them up into one space, and added a coffee bar to make this the perfect owner's suite. There are 3 additional bedrooms, one Jack & Jill shared bath (all wonderfully updated) along with 2 unfinished rooms/attic spaces, accessible from the hallway, that could be finished for an additional bedroom/office/gym/extra living space. The new owners added a much-needed cedar closet and a laundry room adjacent to the owner's suite. Finishing the design of this well-built custom home is a walk-out basement with 10-foot ceilings. The basement, totaling approx. 3572 sq. ft. has been lovingly transformed into a finished space with another bedroom that has two loft beds and two other beds below making it the perfect kids' room. There is a full bathroom on this level, a full bar, two areas for playrooms or formal sitting areas, a living room, and a wine cellar. This home is a must-see, with picture-perfect views, and is the perfect place for someone who loves to entertain. There is an easement for common driveway maintenance.
