Nestled in the heart of Chadds Ford, this timeless Cape Cod-style home blends classic character with thoughtful updates throughout. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers inviting spaces both inside and out — perfect for those who appreciate quality craftsmanship and modern convenience. Step inside to discover oak and pine hardwood floors that flow through the first and second floors. The bright, airy kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a central island beneath a skylight, soft-close cabinetry, leathered finish granite countertops, and a full suite of high-end appliances including a Bosch refrigerator, 6-burner natural gas rangetop with vented hood, double oven, and a new Thermador dishwasher. The formal dining room showcases elegant wainscoting and hardwood detailing, while the living room’s wood-burning fireplace provides a cozy focal point that opens to a screened-in porch with beadboard ceiling and recessed LED lighting — a perfect retreat overlooking the flagstone patio and raised garden bed. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms with ample storage, including a primary bedroom with an updated ensuite bathroom that features heated floors. The additional bedrooms share a full bath with a tub/shower combination, while the large back bedroom features charming pine flooring and a cedar closet. Outside, the home exudes Chester County charm and features a beautifully landscaped half acre lot. Off the screened-in porch you will find a flagstone patio that is perfect for entertaining. The back yard is a gardener’s dream with a fenced garden area with raised garden beds—ideal for growing vegetables and herbs. Peace of mind comes built in with a host of upgrades: a whole-house 22kW Generac generator (2024), tankless Navien gas water heater (2024), Trane HVAC system, and a comprehensive waterproofing system (2024) with a French drain, lifetime warranty, dual sump pumps, and backup power connectivity. A two-car garage with storage completes this well-appointed home.  Located in the award-winning Unionville Chadds Ford School District, this home provides the best of country living while still being a short commute to Wilmington, Philadelphia International Airport, West Chester and is a stone’s throw from shopping, restaurants and Longwood Gardens. This property beautifully combines traditional Chadds Ford charm with the comfort and reliability of modern living — ready to welcome you home.
