Light-filled, beautifully designed Colonial home with an amazing fenced backyard! Welcome to 1296 Marshallton Thorndale Rd, where you can enjoy a private, wooded, 1-acre homesite situated in the Downingtown Area School District, just down the road from Highland Orchards. What a serene location, with a long driveway, spacious back deck, decorative backyard pond, and a fire pit. Inside, this home is bright with natural light. There are newer windows throughout, including a large front window in the living room, and there is a slider in the family room that leads directly onto the deck. Extra-wide casings between rooms help to create an open, spacious feel, and distinctive touches include crown molding, hardwood floors, and a gas fireplace in the family room. The kitchen is stylishly designed with granite counters, chic white cabinetry, a center island with an overhang for bar seating, and stainless steel appliances including a new electric range and newer dishwasher. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom. One of the bedrooms features neutral carpeting while the other 3 bedrooms, including the spacious owner's retreat, all feature hardwood floors. Downstairs, there is a bright, clean, and spacious unfinished basement that will meet all of your storage needs, and also provides plenty of space to set up a home workshop or fitness room. Be sure to explore the backyard which extends several feet beyond the back fence, and offers an excellent place for a game of catch or a backyard BBQ. Plus – this home also features direct access from the family room into the 1-car garage, which has new insulation and drywall. There is a new septic system, a new roof, and it has already been pre-inspected. A charming location with a “tucked away” feel, you'll still enjoy convenient access to Rte 322 and Rte 30.
