Property Description

If you've been searching for a home with character, space, and the opportunity to make it truly your own, this custom built Colonial might be just the one. Set on 1.4 peaceful acres surrounded by mature trees, this 5 bedroom, 3 full bath home has plenty of original charm, generous living spaces, and some wonderful features worth preserving. Yes, it needs updating. Fresh paint, some new flooring, and a few kitchen and bathroom improvements, along with a little imagination will go a long way here. But for the buyer who can see past the dated finishes, there’s an awful lot to appreciate. Step through the double door entry into a welcoming foyer with classic flagstone flooring, setting the tone for a home filled with timeless touches. A spacious living room features beautiful hardwood floors that continue into the formal dining room, creating a wonderful flow for everyday living and entertaining. A charming set of saloon doors leads into the eat-in kitchen, where you’ll find an abundance of real wood cabinetry, generous counter space, and plenty of room to reimagine the space to suit your style. Just off the kitchen, the family room is a standout. Rich, dark wood paneling, hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, and built-in shelving on either side create a warm, distinguished space that feels like a proper old school den. It’s the kind of room that practically begs for a good book, a comfortable chair, and a crackling fire. Doors lead directly onto a spacious deck overlooking the peaceful, wooded backyard, where mature trees provide a beautiful natural backdrop and a welcome sense of privacy. Adding to the home’s versatility, the original attached two car garage was converted into additional first floor living space, including a bedroom, laundry room, and an accessible full bathroom. Whether you’re looking for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or simply the convenience of a main level bedroom and bath, this layout offers flexibility that’s hard to come by. Upstairs, the generously sized primary suite features a walk-in closet and private en-suite bathroom. Three additional bedrooms are all nicely proportioned, each offering double closets and plenty of room to spread out. A full hall bathroom completes the second floor. The second level is ready for a refresh; new carpeting, paint, and bathroom updates offer an opportunity to give these spaces a whole new look. Downstairs, the basement offers another opportunity to get creative. There's a large storage and mechanical area, and a previously finished space that includes a wood burning stove and plenty of square footage to work with. Outside, the 1.4 acre property provides a peaceful setting with mature trees, natural privacy, and room to enjoy the outdoors. A detached two car garage offers additional parking, workspace, and a floored storage area above for all those things you swear you’ll organize someday. This isn’t a shiny, newly renovated home, and that’s part of the opportunity. It’s a substantial, custom built Colonial with original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, spacious rooms, a versatile floor plan, and a lovely piece of land in Great Valley. The updates are yours to choose, the possibilities are yours to explore, and the next chapter is waiting to be written.
