Why linger for new construction, pay the premium, and not have all the upgrades and structural improvements? This lovely Franklin I model in the Traditions of America at West Brandywine is absolutely ready for you to purchase and start unpacking. The property is located in a desirable part of the community, featuring a nice, buffered space to the left of the home for privacy and overlooking a tree-lined buffer with a walking trail across the street. The bright, spacious entry foyer with a tray ceiling accent welcomes you as you enter the home. The foyer area is wide enough to accommodate a console table or small desk without reducing accessibility. This home was designed and appointed for easy maintenance inside and out, for the active owner who wishes to enjoy life and come home to a hom e they can relax in after their travels. The current, original owners have invested nearly $84,000 in post-closing functional improvements and aesthetic enhancements to the property since they took possession as a new build. Some of the aesthetic features the owners added to the property included wainscoting, a motorized awning for the patio area, French Doors to the office, electrical upgrades, fans, window film, automatic window shades, and window treatments. The sellers also installed foam insulation and a generator and did more extensive landscaping on the property. You will appreciate the built-ins, the drop zone tree, and the upgraded lighting throughout the home. From the foyer, as you enter the home's main living area, the dining room offers a formal though laid-back vibe, with room for a traditional dining set and side pieces. The living room has soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, a tree-lined buffer walking trail, automatic shades, a gas fireplace, and recessed lighting. The kitchen features rich quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and an over-the-range microwave. A built-in wine and beverage cooler is situated within the base cabinets. The cabinets feature convenient pull-out shelves for easy access to stored items. A Butler’s pantry serves as a staging area for both informal gatherings and hosting more formal dinner parties. At the rear of the main area, you have a sunroom with windows on three sides and access to the rear patio through a slider. The patio has an automatic awning and offers a place to relax outdoors and enjoy the tranquil view of the tree-lined buffer, bustling with various songbirds. The Primary Bedroom Suite is adjacent to the living room and features upgraded, oversized Pella 60” tall windows that let more natural light in. As you travel from the sleeping area to the in-suite bath, you pass a pair of generously sized walk-in closets, each accessible via a pocket door. The bath features ceramic floors, a large double vanity with ample storage, a step-in shower with glass doors, and a semi-private water closet, separated by a pocket door. An in-bath linen closet services the Primary Bath. Towards the front of the home, you will find the second bedroom and a common-area full bath. The bath features ceramic floors and a combination tub and shower. At the very front of the home, there is a well-lit office with French Doors that could easily serve as a third bedroom if needed, or an extension of the second bedroom as a sitting and reading area. A convenient walk up storage loft offers great storage space for off-season items. The 8,000 sq. ft. community clubhouse is the social center of the community. Theme parties and planned bus trips are just a few of the activities offered. Living here means joining a vibrant, resort-style community. Amenities of the clubhouse include a fitness center, game rooms, lounges, sports and yoga studios, and conference spaces. Outdoors, there’s a pool, spa, courts, a fire pit patio, a grill area, and 2.5 miles of walking trails. The clubhouse is also available for private events.
