8 HICKORY LN Chadds Ford, PA 19317

Totally transformed in 2019 is the only way to describe this property! You will have to see it to believe it. Perched on a hillside and surrounded by woods, you could be in a mountain retreat instead of 5 minutes from the intersection of Routes 1 and Route 202, convenient to the airport, Wilmington, and King of Prussia, and still within the parameters of the Unionville Chadds Ford School system. As you get out of your car you will imagine yourself enjoying your favorite beverage while relaxing on the new secluded concrete patio bordered by a gorgeous new stone retaining wall. Follow the new extra wide concrete pathway to the new brick front steps. Entering the home will find you in the traditional 2 story foyer. A step to the left will take you into the perfect formal living room for entertaining and a step to the right will take you into the large formal dining room which will accommodate many for holiday feasts. For ease of flow for your casual visitors, the sellers have opened up the dining room wall and combined 2 rooms to create a very inviting family room. Enjoy the view through the wall of windows and doors leading to the new concrete patio in the spring, or snuggle up with a book beside the floor to ceiling wood burning brick fireplace. When there is work to be done, do it in comfort in the first-floor office with built-ins, fireplace, and wet bar. Of course, the best has been saved to last. The kitchen has been bumped out to provide more space and has been totally reconfigured. Enjoy your evening beverage by the fireplace while the chef prepares dinner in this well appointed room. A large quartz island has a double undermount farm sink with apron front and includes the dishwasher. Baking/cooking for a crowd is easy with a smooth top induction range and double ovens, one convection and one regular. There is a third wall oven which is a combination convection and microwave. All of the appliances are GE Café with upgraded hardware. There is a back staircase to sneak down for a midnight snack. As a special treat the kitchen is now wide open to the morning room, which features two walls of windows and is a perfect place for enjoying your morning coffee in any season. Walking up the foyer stairs you will realize that the sellers have totally reconfigured the primary bedroom and bath. Hang your clothes in the newly created walk-in closet. Imagine luxuriating in the oversized soaking tub, taking a brisk shower in the oversized porcelain and marble shower, or brushing your teeth at the double marble topped vanity in this elegantly appointed bath. Family and guests can utilize the two bedrooms that share an updated modified jack and jill bath, with two separated commodes. Anyone could enjoy the 4th large bedroom with ensuite bath that has been updated with a marble topped vanity and a porcelain and marble shower. All of the interior and exterior has been painted, all of the windows and doors have been replaced, and the utilities have been upgraded or replaced.
