Beautifully updated, 1-floor living! Nestled among a backdrop of mature trees, 505 Darlington Dr is a charming ranch home situated on just under 1 acre of land nestled behind the historic Baldwins Book Barn. The home boasts an extensive floorplan that just seems to keep on going and has been updated with an addition at the back to create a modern, open concept living space. The stylishly updated eat-in kitchen features a center island, soft-close cabinetry, lazy Susan storage, and stainless appliances. This beautiful gathering space is completely open to the front living room with a wood burning fireplace with stone surround, built-in shelving and a large picture window. There's also a delightful sunroom with views on every side, and there's a convenient mud room, which doubles as the laundry and boasts 2 walk-in closets for amazing storage. Enjoy the ease of 1-floor living with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms located down the hall. Both hall bedrooms are good sized and the hall bathroom is updated with a modern vanity and tile surround. Tucked back at the end of the hall, the owner's retreat is a special getaway with a stunning en suite bathroom that's part of the new addition. Stylish and practical, there is an accessible walk-in open shower, a walk-in closet as well as a 2nd storage closet, and the owner's suite can be accessed either from the bedroom hallway or from the kitchen and laundry room - beautifully thought out and beautifully designed. The outdoor living space at 505 Darlington Dr is equally enticing, with a sweeping side yard and a backyard that boasts a pergola covered patio and a circular courtyard and firepit. What an amazing space for entertaining or for unplugging after a long day - imagine the BBQs with friends or toasting smores on an autumn evening! There is also a convenient storage shed that enjoys direct access from inside the 2-car garage, and this home also boasts an unfinished basement for all your storage needs. All this in a neighborhood setting that hosts its own private community lake and enjoys convenient proximity to West Chester Borough and WCU campus.
