24 Sharpley Dr, Chadds Ford, PA 19317

Welcome to 24 Sharpley Drive, nestled in the well maintained, maintenance free, community of Laurel Brooke in the award-winning Garnet Valley School District. At 4,612 square feet of living space, this end unit, Windsor model, is one of the largest in the community and is one of the few homes with a coveted pond facing, southern exposure view, giving it tons of natural sunlight. Enter into the grand 2-story foyer with turned staircase. The open floor plan is enhanced by hardwood floors throughout the entire first floor allowing for a seamless and large feel. Off the foyer is the formal living room with views of the pond. It's in this room that you first see one side of the two-sided, custom stone wood burning floor to ceiling fireplace; this is the only house in the neighborhood with a wood burning fireplace. You can enjoy it from the living or family room, read a book in the living room by the fire while others are enjoying it in the family room by the TV. If you prefer gas, no worries, the finished basement ceiling has been left exposed, for an industrial look, to allow for an easy gas line to be run. Go the other way off the foyer and welcome to your beautiful formal dining room with gorgeous crown molding and wainscoting. Both the living and dining rooms, as well as the foyer, enter into other areas of the home providing a perfect flow for entertaining. The expansive kitchen and family room areas are combined allowing for the perfect family living areas. The custom kitchen is outfitted with several tones to avoid the dated, matchy matchy look. With light floors, a cherry center island, antique white cabinets, two different granite finishes, this French country kitchen is indeed impressive while at the same time, casual. The kitchen also is complete with 42-inch cabinets, stainless steel appliances, double convection oven, counter seating area, pull out drawers, and pantry. In the family room you'll experience the other side of the two-sided fireplace along with a custom built-in perfect for your TV and storage. The sliding door opens to one of two large decks/patios. Above is the over-sized Trex deck and below, off the finished basement slider, is a fully custom, high-end, lighted, paver patio with curved stairs allowing for easy access from the upper deck. Take a stroll around the neighborhood and pond on Laurel Brooke's walking trail. On the other side of the kitchen is one of two offices with the second office in the basement-perfect for working from home, homework space, or gym. The large basement has plenty of room for another family room, and is complete with a powder room with rough-in for a shower and large storage area. Upstairs, you will find 3 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, laundry room and many closets. After a long day, the grand master suite is the perfect getaway, complete with tray ceiling, walk-in closet with shelving and large area for shoes and storage. The en-suite main bathroom is expansive, has a double vanity, custom travertine flooring, and specialty shower tiling. Although water has never been an issue, this home is equipped with a back-up sump pump powered by water pressure in case of a power outage. Enjoy the convenience of being minutes from shopping and restaurants and close to West Chester, Kennett Square, Media and Delaware. Never have to pull weeds or shovel snow again!
