The prestigious quiet borough of Historic Kennett Square, in the heart of the Brandywine Valley, has been called Small Town America because of its shops, galleries and gourmet restaurants, But there's nothing small about its cultural opportunities. Kennett Square is home of the world-famous Longwood Gardens. The Brandywine River Museum, Winterthur Museum and Garden, the Hagley Museum and the Nemours Mansion are all less than 15 minutes away, as are the Brandywine Battlefield, Winery and Helicopter Museum. Kennett Square boasts its own theatrical society and hosts the Chester County Symphony Orchestra. Community activities abound here. Although there is a definite rural feeling, the big city attractions of Philadelphia, Wilmington and the Jersey shore are just a short drive away. In the opposite direction, you'll find the quaint Amish attractions and shopping outlets of Lancaster County. The development of Brittany Hills consists of 120 homes which are laid out to maximize the feeling of wide open spaces. There are no fences, so you roam free, or just enjoy the views. As you drive through the development, you can't help but be impressed with the picture postcard look of this well-maintained and manicured development. Although this is a 55 plus Active Adult Community, this home is on a lot which measures an unprecedented SIXTH of an acre, and backs up to open land with incredible views in all directions. Brittany Hills has a pool and clubhouse which offer many opportunities for their own community events. As you approach the house, you will be welcomed by a beautiful EP Henry stone driveway, giving way to a fieldstone two car garage. Lovingly cared-for shrubbery and bright flower gardens embrace the front of the home.
The formal front entrance opens into an impressive open floor plan. The amazing cherry wall system in the living room is available by negotiation with the owner. This immense room also has a working gas log fireplace, and is crowned with a wonderful tray ceiling and recessed lighting which flows into a large formal dining room. From here you can access the lovely maintenance-free deck overlooking your beautifully landscaped back yard. A breakfast bar, large enough to comfortably seat four or five guests separates the kitchen from the dining room. Granite kitchen counters compliment the high grade cherry cabinetry. All appliances stay with the house, including the side-by-side wood veneer-front refrigerator. A lovely bay window brings the sunshine and beautiful views in to the eat-in area, giving it a cozy Morning Room feeling. Of course this home has a built-in security system and central air conditioning. The heating is an in floor radiant, five zone system. A healthy, quiet, economical and is very clean. Covered by gorgeous wide board oak engineered hardwood flooring through-out the floyer, hallway, living area, dining area and the master bedroom. In the master suite, two walk-in closets are completely organized with a California closet system including dressers and customized shelving. On the other side of the house you will find not only a fully equipped laundry room, but another full bathroom flanked by two more bedrooms. These would make ideal office, craft, or Grandkid sleep-over rooms. The lot itself slopes to the back, providing the added benefit of a full width unfinished basement with French door opening to the back yard. Completing the level could double the living space of this already huge home.
