51 Locust Farm Dr, Thornton, PA 19373

Enter this custom open concept ranch and you will see why the owners call this home "Near Away"; it is near everything but feels far away. The home is set on a large plot with a shallow brook gently flowing through the backyard. The inside features cathedral ceilings in the main area with hardwood flooring and heated stone floors in the kitchen and dining area. The wall of windows that cover much of the back of the house not only invite you to view nature but to become part of it. Immerse yourself even further with the screened porch, deck and small creekside patio with fire pit. A kitchen remodel using cherry cabinetry, soapstone countertops and stainless steel appliances features counter seats as well as a separate dining area with bay window. One room flows smoothly into the next in the main space and a hallway connects the open concept living area to 3 bedrooms including the master suite and 2 spacious bedrooms plus a new hall bath. The rear bedroom looks out to the beautiful backyard through a sliding glass door and the front bedroom faces the landscaped front yard. Custom cabinets and a glass slider accentuate the master bedroom with a walk in closet providing ample storage. A remodeled master bath features a rainfall shower. The hall bath was re-done and both bathrooms have Ethan Allen and Kohler fixtures. Stairs from the Foyer descend to the finished lower level and provide access to the walkout family room with floor to ceiling Andersen windows. Heated floors grace the main area where custom cabinets, soapstone counters and another gas fireplace invite you to witness the amazing settings. A fourth bedroom resides on the lower level and sits adjacent to a newly finished walk-in closet and a bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity. Rounding out the lower level, there is a laundry/storage room and access to the two car attached garage. The owners added a detached, two-story garage that features a high efficiency 3 zone Mitsubishi ductless system for both floors. The bottom floor has two bays that could be used to park vehicles or finished to provide playroom space or in-law quarters. The second floor has a gym and an office. The entire detached structure provides a great deal of flexibility to customize to your needs. To top it all off, there is a geothermal heating and cooling system that provides year round comfort to the main home with low operating costs. All this in the Award Winning Garnet Valley Schools with a tax bill that you can afford!
