Welcome to 1 Thistle Lane, a rare opportunity to make your mark in the idyllic Highlands neighborhood within Garnet Valley School District. Situated on a corner lot, this home offers four-bedrooms plus office in over 3,200 square feet of space. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by a grand, 2 story foyer. On your tour of the first floor you'll notice beautifully maintained hardwood floors, 2 fireplaces, and a large family room with double French doors offering tranquil views to a private, fenced-in backyard. The oversized kitchen with island and built in wall oven offer endless potential for your dream gourmet space. And a full size dining room with new bay window overlooks the quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. Whether you envision refreshing the existing finishes or undertaking a more extensive renovation, there is plenty of room to create a home that reflects your style.
