Description

Take a look at this unique ranch in the outskirts of Kennett Square. The amount of features and character this ranch has is something you can not fully appreciate until you tour the property. Through the front door you will enter the main level which consists of authentic hard wood throughout. The living room contains tons of natural light and a wood burning fireplace and overlooks the front yard with the dining room attached off the back. Around the other end of the home you will find a hallway containing 3 bedrooms, laundry and a full bath. The kitchen sits at the back of the main level overlooking the massive back yard. If that is not enough there is an additional living room off the side of the main level with another wood stove to cozy up to. Downstairs is a fully functional in-law suite with a complete kitchen, a full bath, living room with wood stove, two additional bedrooms and walk out sliders to the back yard patio. When your in the backyard you will see the great value this property offers. Sprawling grass, wildlife abundance, fire pit, patio, wooded tree line, and a raised porch connecting the house with the garage. This property has a quiet country feel when your there, and yet is just a 5 minute drive to downtown Kennett, Bancroft elementary directly across the street and only an hour outside of Philadelphia.
