If 171 Candlewyck Drive were a person, it would be the friend everyone gravitates toward—the one who effortlessly combines sophistication with a welcoming charm. Not only does the home capture amazing natural light which flows through the many oversized windows, it offers a sophisticated flow of defined spaces that still feels connected...a remote worker's dream. Discerning buyers will notice the crown molding and detailed millwork adorning every room, the elegant split staircase, the many picture and palladian windows, and recessed lighting intentionally placed to create layers of light in every room. Perfectly suited for a large family needing defined spaces for work and flexible lifestyle, you'll find a main floor Home Office, a second floor Sitting Room, and a light filled walk-out finished Lower Level to accommodate almost every need of remote work, study, entertainment and fitness. For those who love to entertain, the home offers elegant and defined formal Living and Dining spaces which flow seamlessly into a grand 2-story Great Room and open Kitchen, ready for culinary action and lively gatherings. The Kitchen is lofty and adorned with natural light. Gas cooking, double oven, 2 dishwashers, wet bar, tall warm-toned cabinets and abundant counter space set the stage for memories in the making. Unlike many in Candlewyck, this home features a Breakfast Sunroom where you can take in your morning coffee with beautiful country views through the wall of windows or outdoors from the south facing deck. Upstairs, you'll find an inviting and extensive Primary Suite, complete with Sitting Room, built-ins, cozy window nook, double walk-in closets, and dressing area. The large Primary Bath has separate soaking tub and shower, and large double vanity. The remaining 3 bedrooms are all generous in size and adorned with crown molding. As for major capital improvements in recent years, the Seller has done full replacement of stucco, replacement of both HVAC systems in 2025, and installation of new roof in 2019. Candlewyck is a friendly community with sidewalks on both sides of the street, perfect for strollers and walking the dog. More adventurous hikers can explore the 55 acres of preserved natural space which surrounds the community to discover paths and ponds. There's even a play field in the middle of the community which provides open space for ball games and the Summer Block Party. 171 Candlewyck Drive is an exceptional value just 5 minutes from Kennett Square, with over 5800 sq ft of finished living space and an oversized 3-car garage. Minutes to convenient shopping and fine dining in Kennett Square and Hockessin. Kennett public schools all within minutes. Top tier private schools within minutes.
