What's special
Luxury custom home PLUS 3+ acres of lavish yards & bucolic landscaping on a cul-de-sac setting PLUS an In-Ground Pool & Spa complex --- so ideal for both everyday living and unlimited entertaining possibilities! Downingtown East Schools and no HOA! A unique opportunity to own a custom home built by the McKean family, direct descendants of founding father Thomas McKean: a signer of the Declaration of Independence & Governor of Pennsylvania. Up the winding brick walkway and there are two entrances --- Patio Breezeway into both the Mudroom & Garage, and front covered Porch opening into a breathtaking Reception Foyer with a soaring two-story ceiling & turned staircase. The open lay-out is enhanced by gleaming hardwood floors; custom millwork & moldings; oversized doorways; and elongated sunlit windows. The sophisticated Living Room showcases a grand palladian window and vaulted cathedral ceiling, and the elegant Dining Room has a stylish Butlers Pantry --- perfect for festive gatherings! Paradise Custom Kitchens created an Eat-In Kitchen tailored for the home chef: trimmed raised-panel cabinetry, including paneled fridge & dishwasher; sit-up breakfast bar island; dual wall ovens plus installed microwave; gas range; walk-in pantry; 2 skylights & arched window over the sink; and a tiled backsplash with custom glazed Mercer tiles featuring animal motifs, from the Moravian Pottery Tile Works of Doylestown. The oversized Breakfast Room also includes its own Butlers Pantry (perhaps your new tea/coffee station?!) and french doors out to the multi-tier Deck that is tucked into the beautiful treetops. The Family Room boasts a soaring ceiling with exposed wood beams and ceiling fan; mantled gas fireplace; a wall of sun-filled windows; a Wet Bar with glass curios; and french doors out to the elevated Deck with panoramic steps down to the pool area. And notice the custom stained glass “three seasons” transom! Also on this floor: Powder Room; multiple closets; and a Mudroom Laundry with a dutch door, second pantry, and a dog/pet bathing station (Mrs. McKean was an AKC Breeder of Merit of bearded collies!). The Primary Suite is your own quiet sanctuary, with a double door entry into the Bedroom with cathedral ceiling w/exposed beams; brand new carpet; floor-to-ceiling windows awash in natural light; two 7x6 Walk-In-Closets with custom organizers; and a spa-inspired Full Bath with two luxurious basin vanities each with double tower hutches, an oversized tiled shower w/bench, and a soaking garden tub. The second Bedroom is En-Suite with 3 closets and its own Full Bath with tiled shower, and down the mezzanine hallway are two more Bedrooms both with ample closets and one has beautiful built-in cabinets & shelves (potential Study/Den!). A dual-entry Full Bath with double sink vanity and tub/shower combo completes this second level. Such an amazing Finished & Walk-Out Lower Level, with over 2,200 sq ft including: upgraded tile flooring; large Media/Game space; Art Room; huge 45x20 Rec Room with french doors to the brick Patio; multiple storage spaces; and a private Office with built-ins & closets that is adjacent to the Darkroom/Work Room (Mr. McKean is a renowned photographer!). Outside is truly resort-style living, as the Decks/Patios/fenced private dog run all have walkways and paths leading to the In-Ground Pool & heated Spa with cascading waterfall. Expertly designed and landscaped yards, with trees such as cherry, spruce, redbud, dogwood, red oak & more! NEW: roof w/30 yr warranty (2018); HardiePlank (30 yr warranty); windows & french doors (2018); 2 new HVAC systems (2019). Installed Kohler home generator. Minutes to PA Turnpike & Rtes. 100/202/401/113, trains, parks, dining, shops, more! BONUS---includes an AHS ShieldComplete Home Warranty with Pool coverage, which is the highest level of coverage & peace-of-mind for you! Some photos virtually staged and verification (including sq ft/size/lay-out/more) lies with the consumer.
