Set on a private and picturesque .93-acre lot, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers over 4,300 square feet of refined living space and an extraordinary connection to nature. Bordering the iconic Tyler Arboretum—a breathtaking 650-acre sanctuary with over 20 miles of walking trails—this home provides a rare opportunity to enjoy a tranquil lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Located just 16 miles to Center City Philadelphia, 20 miles to Wilmington, Delaware, and only 20 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport, the best of both worlds awaits. Step inside to discover a warm and welcoming open-concept layout thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with premium appliances, abundant cabinetry, and an oversized center island. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the sunlit breakfast area and inviting family room with a gas fireplace—an effortless blend of comfort and sophistication. French doors open to an expansive rear patio that invites outdoor dining and peaceful views of the lush, arboretum-adjacent backyard. The second floor features three spacious bedrooms, including a private en-suite, as well as a cozy office nook ideal for remote work or study. The third level offers yet another flexible workspace or lounge, a fourth bedroom, and the exquisite primary suite—a true retreat featuring a luxurious spa-inspired bath and an expansive walk-in closet. The lower level includes a second family room, an adorable and efficient laundry area, and a stylish powder room—offering additional living space for casual gatherings or relaxation. A full, unfinished walkout basement provides abundant storage or the potential for future customization. Enjoy unparalleled access to Ridley Creek State Park, just a half-mile from your doorstep, offering 2,606 acres of protected woodlands, a 5-mile paved multi-use trail, and year-round trout fishing. This residence is ideal for the family seeking room to grow, work, and unwind—all in a premier natural setting rarely found in today's market. All stucco has been thoroughly tested with excellent results.
