Surrounded by 125 acres of protected farmland, this beautifully updated home offers privacy and comfort. It sits on 1.8 acres of mostly open yard along Hodgson Run creek and next to a country road. The house was built in 1954 and has been well maintained. One enters through the first-floor sunroom, so open and bright. This leads to the open living room/dining room area which has built-in bookshelves and a wood burning Jotul stove, which provides year round warmth and comfort. The kitchen has fabulous, custom built maple cabinets, with curly maple moldings, black solid counters and newer appliances. Just off the kitchen is a screened in porch, excellent for reading or watching the horses go by. The first floor has hardwood floors, two bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs there are two more larger bedrooms, a full bath and lots of closet space. New roof and new windows in 2006. There is a three-car detached garage with additional parking in the drive. Plenty of room for a boat or RV! This lovely home is in the award-winning Avon Grove School District. A short drive (14 miles) to Kennett Square with its fun shoppes and fabulous new library!
