Centered on an idyllic four acre parcel near the eastern gateway to the Brandywine Valley, 40 Dilworthtown takes full advantage of its serene and enchanting four acres. Sited atop a gentle knoll, its surrounding glades are dotted with majestic beech trees - creating a sense of serenity from the moment you enter the drive. Upon approach, the gentle curve of the driveway slowly reveals the thoughtful design of both home and garden - enchanting specimen landscape installations blend seamlessly with the property's natural woodlands while the home's design utilizes the parcel's slight grade to maximum affect. A glimpse at the custom in-ground pool, surrounding patio and stacked decks connotes summers filled with both quiet relaxation and easy entertaining. Park in the two car garage or follow the mansonry walkway to the front doors. A grand center hall with beautiful oak staircase, handsome paneled wainscoting and dramatic vaulted ceiling make a fantastic first impression. Continue to the large, sun-filled living room with double sliders to the rear deck. The gas fireplace takes center stage. This large space could easily host three separate seating arrangements. Refined touches such as solid-wood built-ins and moldings are used throughout the home. Spaces such as the study incorporate these elements - a large built-in bookcase runs the length of the room, while the chair rail and crown molding add subtle, decorative touches. The first-floor generously-sized master suite exhibits an amazing window arrangement, a built-in bench seat and private access via slider to the rear deck. The unique fenestration continues to the master bath, complete with soaking tub and stall shower. The home's dining room boasts incredible carpentry details, as well. The substantial paneled wainscoting is the room's hallmark while a flared window surround outfitted with tile provides a scenic backdrop to meals and gatherings. The large kitchen is nicely appointed with a double wall oven, sub-zero refrigerator, peninsula and adjacent atrium. Light-filled, the kitchen's solid wood cabinets, ample counters and wood floors gleam below the windows. The atrium brings the outdoors in and provides a tree-top view as well as access to the deck. The home's half-bath, laundry and garage access are located just off the kitchen. Downstairs, you'll find a family room, game room, full bath and access to the pool. Three more large, bright bedrooms and full hall bath are located on the second floor.
