Description

Nestled in the exclusive Birmingham Estates, this breathtaking five-bedroom, four-full and four-half-bathroom home is the epitome of refined living. Set on 3.5 private acres, this hilltop estate offers stunning views, an exceptional layout, and a backyard retreat—all within minutes of West Chester’s vibrant downtown, scenic trails, and top-rated schools. A grand stone-pillared entrance and winding driveway set the stage for this magnificent home. Inside, a three-story atrium-style staircase welcomes you with soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and abundant natural light. Designed for seamless entertaining and everyday comfort, the open-concept layout flows effortlessly from one elegant space to the next. The grand two-story family room features vaulted ceilings and custom built-ins, while the formal living room boasts an inviting fireplace. A sun-drenched sitting room provides another peaceful space to unwind. The heart of the home is the designer chef’s kitchen, a true showstopper with custom cherry cabinetry, premium granite countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and an oversized island. A cozy fireplace and stainless accents add warmth, while the kitchen opens to a sunroom, dining area, and an expansive outdoor patio. Two private home offices offer inspiring views and a quiet setting for remote work. The second floor is anchored by the luxurious primary suite, a private retreat featuring a spacious sitting area, a spa-like bath with a walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet with a center island. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully designed Jack-and-Jill bath, while a third guest suite offers a private en-suite. A bright fifth bedroom and a convenient second-floor laundry room complete this level. The finished third floor offers endless possibilities, making it an ideal space for a home office, yoga studio, or creative retreat. The lower level is an entertainer’s dream. The finished walkout basement includes a guest suite, a billiards area, a media space, and direct access to the backyard. The outdoor living space is just as impressive as the interior, with an expansive stone patio, a covered pergola, and a built-in grilling station, all surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and mature trees. Whether hosting a summer barbecue or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, this outdoor retreat is truly exceptional. A three-car garage and a driveway basketball hoop add both practicality and fun to an active lifestyle. With recent high-end updates, including Hardie Board siding in 2021, a new roof in 2018, and updated windows and doors in 2010, this home is move-in ready and built to last. Located in the heart of Wyeth Brandywine country, just minutes from Longwood Gardens, Radley Run Country Club, and downtown West Chester, this home offers the perfect balance of serenity and convenience.
