Escape from the fast pace life of city living and come home to this wonderful, charm infused home. A weekend oasis from the hectic work-week, or an everyday retreat best describes this house set on almost 2 acres in Chester Township. Just minutes from the major highways set high above the noise of daily life, the house looks down at the valley below and the landscape of the horizon. Flanked by beautiful flagstone patios that run the length of the home, the outdoors becomes an integral part of the lifestyle one can enjoy. Whether its entertaining large groups or relaxing in a quiet setting, the house can accommodate both.Built in the late 1880s with two 20th Century additions, 610 Old Chester Road retains the charm of yesteryear with built-in cupboards, bookshelves, window seat and a brick fireplace and yet has high ceilings, large windows, skylights and an open floor plan for a more contemporary design. Set privately on the hillside, the home has both front and backyard patios that span the entire house. The entry, with its stained glass door panels, opens to the main floor living space. To the right is the dining room. Hardwood flooring, open cabinetry, and oversized windows describe the ambiance of the room. The dining room area flows directly into the country kitchen. Corian countertops, tile backsplash, vintage white cupboards, walls of windows, and two skylights make for a sunny setting. It is such a welcoming space!An oversized wood-burning fireplace with a brick hearth is the focal point of the living room.
