Are you looking for a staycation home in Chester County? This mid-century ranch sits upon 3.1 acres of private grounds and is just minutes to the downtown scene of Phoenixville. An *extensive list* of recent improvements include new carpets, new Hardi siding, new boiler, low voltage lighting system throughout, updated windows and roof. Additional standout features include two solar panel systems, radiant heat floors throughout the home, UV water purification system, and so much more. Quality construction and thoughtful architecture are evident throughout, from the original mahogany wood walls, to the slate foyer floors, and solid built-in closet shelving. The eastern side of the home hosts fantastic gathering spaces. Open-concept living and dining rooms enjoy natural light throughout the day thanks to the panoramic walls of windows at the northern and southern ends of the space. These windows are trimmed with hand-selected Birds Eye Maple which handsomely compliments the mahogany. Built-in shelving and cabinetry, including a glass covered china cabinet/bar, and decorative LED lighting around the ceiling set the tone for everything from large gatherings or cozy nights in. A spacious kitchen offers plenty of room for the chef and all of her/his sous-chefs to work around the 6-burner range and double ovens. Cabinet bases are original hardwood cabinets which have been refaced and will stand the test of time. Next to the kitchen is a large mudroom/pantry/laundry area, a powder room, and inside access to the 2 car garage and the walk-up attic rec room. The recreation room offers extra hang-out space or a great work-from-home setup. Why stop the party inside when there is so much to enjoy outside?! From the kitchen, step onto the roof covered slate patio and discover the original outdoor brick kitchen with a wood-burning stove and fireplace. The expansive composite deck with built-in seating connects the patio and pool areas, and is a gorgeous spot where you can take in the scenery. The in-ground pool is tucked among gorgeous perennials. Pool water is fed by an underground system collecting rainwater from the gutters into rain barrels which empty into the pool. Additional features outside include a lush garden full of decades worth of rich and fertile soil, a chicken coop, shed, and covered firewood storage. After a day and evening full of enjoying everything this home has to offer, retreat to the western end where 5-6 bedrooms and a comfortable family room await. The family room offers a great wind-down space for everyone, while the built-in shelves can host years to come of books read and memories made in this wonderful home. Behind here are two bedrooms served by a full hall bath. Continue past the common area to reach 2 more bedrooms, an office, and 2nd full hall bath with access to the laundry room. Last but not least is the master suite, featuring built-in wood furniture, walk-in closets, a separate over-sized shower, soaking tub, private water closet, and his/hers vanities. Enjoy backyard views morning and night from the picture windows. A list of improvements and upgrades is available for review. There is so much to enjoy nearby including hiking trails, fishing spots, kayaking, recreational parks and of course Valley Forge Park. Do not hesitate to schedule your private showing for this fabulous home. There hasn't been anything on the market this special in a long time.
