Welcome to 260 South Thistledown Drive! If you've been looking for a well-maintained and updated home on a large, beautiful lot that is less than 5 minutes to everything Kennett Square has to offer, then this is it! This lovely, contemporary Cape Cod is located on a cul de sac in the quiet and private McClellan Farms community, less than a mile from Bancroft Elementary School. Pulling up to the front of the house, you'll notice the updated stone facing and front door flanked by two large stone planter boxes. Enter into the foyer that opens into the living room. This space is expansive and bright thanks to the vaulted ceiling and large custom Anderson windows, which are complimented by an automated Bali shade. The stone and wood details flow into the living room, complete with a cozy gas fireplace boasting a live edge-walnut mantle. Adjacent to the living room is the bright updated eat-in kitchen with a huge butcher block island, plenty of cabinets, Corian countertops, generous pantry storage, and newer stainless appliances. The dining room is right around the corner, ready for your family dinners. Just beyond the dining area is a gorgeous tiled sunroom with a vaulted ceiling and beautiful views of the property's lush greenery. The sun room is currently being enjoyed as a peaceful home office space. The half bath is just down the hall. The large master bedroom is at the end of the hall. It has a vaulted ceiling, large custom windows, spacious walk-in closet, and an en- suite. The master en-suite bath is beautifully updated with all the luxuries & a big walk-in shower with dual shower heads, exotic hardwood flooring and natural stone tile; heated tile floors; floating vanity with brushed nickel faucets; and a water-efficient floating Toto toilet. The entire first floor had new white oak hardwood flooring installed in May. Head upstairs to find two more bedrooms with spacious closets and the updated 2nd full bath. Then, head downstairs to even more space! The basement is spacious with tons of storage. The finished side of the basement is currently being used as a gym and cycling studio. There are three large storage closets, too. The cycling studio could also be used as a bonus guest room, as it has a pocket door to keep it private. The unfinished portion of the basement has the large laundry room and a huge woodworking workshop space with an air filter system and egress out to the yard from the bulkhead doors. Speaking of the outdoors, the massive deck is made from exotic Brazilian Ipe wood which lasts 50+ years, requires little maintenance, and has the same fire-rating as concrete; that's why the fire-pit is built right into it! Out a bit further is a fenced-in raised-bed garden with water-catchment system and a large gardening shed. The tranquil near-acre of land is flanked by mature trees and greenery and offers privacy with abundant wildlife sightings. A one-car garage, additional attached storage shed, and 6-space driveway round out this awesome property. This home is just minutes from historic downtown Kennett Square and all of its amenities. That means that you have easy access to The Creamery, Kennett Brewing Co., Talula's Table, the Market at Liberty Place, a short drive to world-renowned Longwood Gardens or Winterthur Museum and an easy drive to both Philadelphia International Airport and BWI. Updates include: new deck (2012), new Andersen windows (2014), new roof (2014), new water heater (2014), new stone facing and front door (2015), updated sunroom (2016), new white oak hardwood flooring (2021) 2021-08-02
