This lovely non development home in Brandywine Hundred is being sold by the original owners. The house is one of only three custom homes on this private driveway. The lot is very well landscaped and just over a half acre in size. The house is located well off of the road and protected by a string of natural plantings along Shipley Road. The house itself has been well cared for and updated by the owners over the years. You enter the home directly into the bright two story foyer with hardwood floors, as do most of the rooms on the first floor. The first floor has 9' ceilings adding to the feeling of spaciousness in the home. The living and dining rooms are located directly off of the entry foyer each having large windows that allow lots of natural light. The large bright family room has a gas fireplace with lots of windows overlooking the private rear yard. The family room is open to the kitchen which also has hardwood floors, a large island, desk area, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a wonderful gas stove. The breakfast area has large windows overlooking the rear yard as well as a door that provides access to the large composite deck. Additionally, there is a first floor laundry room, also opening to the rear deck, as well as direct access to the garage which has insulated garage doors and a beautiful Sika Epoxy floor. Completing the first floor is a powder room and a second set of stairs that lead to the sitting room off the primary bedroom.
The second floor has a large owners suite with gorgeous private bath, an adjoining sitting room or home office as well as private set of steps leading to the first floor. The three other bedrooms are all of ample size. The shared bathroom, as do all the bathrooms in the house, have new vanity tops and tile floors.
This custom built home is certainly worth a visit if you are looking for a well kept and maintained home on a large private lot in Brandywine Hundred.
