Some would say the stunning one-of-a-kind estate at 1245 S. Creek Road in West Chester is a museum-quality work of art. Others marvel at the ambiance radiated by the private, gated 21-acre lot perched atop a hill overlooking the Brandywine River. Yet others appreciate that this residence offers the most current, automated smart home technology. Regardless of what attribute first catches one's eye at this 23,956 square feet of finished space, some fortunate new owner is going to benefit from the thoughtful design executed by the home's current owner, who says he had this masterpiece built using only the finest materials.
"This home truly must be experienced to be appreciated," assures listing agent Rory Burkhart, CEO and associate broker of The Burkhart Realty Group/Keller Williams Realty – Kennett Square.
Sunshine lovers are certainly in luck at this residence, with an abundance of gorgeous windows and skylights. The main focal point is the three-story Super Sky commercial aluminum and glass curved wall that yields a 180-degree view of the land. The five-bedroom home was built in 2007, has 8.5 baths, a huge inground infinity edge pool and a furnished pool house begging for guests. This property package is listed at $8.6 million.
A Showpiece Inside and Out
The open floor plan extends throughout the main living area, which welcomes the exterior with more than three-stories of custom glass and panoramic views at every turn. The grand foyer is accented by a dramatic, curved staircase that carries up through three levels. A commercial elevator in the center of the home accesses all four levels. The home includes two fireplaces and a central vacuum system.
This home's customized, gourmet kitchen could be the envy of many an executive chef, with features such as multiple ovens, several refrigeration drawers and dishwashers, custom cabinetry and high-quality appliances.
The second level features four, full guest suites; each including sitting rooms with balconies, walk-in closets and full bathrooms, as well as laundry access.
The entire third level is devoted to the home's master suite, which features two separate his-and-hers, spa-oriented master baths, complete with private walk-in closets, jetted tubs and walk-in showers. It also contains a private den area for office work. The suite includes a retractable flat-screen TV from the ceiling. And, one can imagine the beautiful window views from this suite as well.
The lower level of the residence is an entertainer's dream, with a full bar, state-of-the-art theater, game room, exercise room and sauna.
An eight-car, drive-through subterranean garage is also temperature controlled, making it a perfect environment for collectors. Outside on the driveway, there's plenty of room to park up to 20 more cars comfortably.
The exterior terrace offers nearly 10,000 square feet of additional space, and has multiple venues for entertaining. Accented by an amazing, custom pool with built-in spa and tailored lighting, the space also is finished with a brand-new pool house and a second kitchen, air conditioning, flat screen TVs and powder room. The lot is professionally landscaped with made-to-order accent lighting and irrigation.
Location Ambiance
Anchored with voluminous qualities, this address also provides easy access to Philadelphia and all major consumer routes. The associated school district is Unionville-Chadds Ford, a district with the vision of "unlocking the potential" in all its students. The school district, and this residence, are nestled amidst the rolling hills of southern Chester County, where the Battle of Brandywine was fought, and northern New Castle County, Delaware, where the paper was milled for the Declaration of Independence and America's first currency. It's also where the duPonts made their fortunes and built their mansions, and where three generations of Wyeths have lived and painted the landscapes and people of Chadds Ford.
