EXPERIENCE RESORT-STYLE LIVING IN THE VILLAGES AT HILLVIEW, CHESTER COUNTY'S PREMIER ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITY, where 10% of residents can be 45 years or older, and the amenities are top notch! Top that off with a stunning home that has been beautifully maintained and upgraded, and you've found your dream home in your desired location. This home backs to community green space with lovely views from the deck & the concrete patio beneath the deck. When you enter the foyer on a marble floor you'll find French Doors leading to the front-facing office/den and elegant wainscotting . Hardwood floors take you back to the oversized living / dining room combo where the wainscotting and flooring continue to impress. This graceful space is enhanced by 2 impressive bay windows adorned with custom Plantation Shutters! The stunning dining room chandelier is "the icing on the cake" for this remarkable space. Next, the hardwood flooring flows into the heart of the house...the kitchen & family room. You'll love the efficient gourmet granite kitchen with a 6-burner gas cooktop and two wall ovens, upgraded cabinetry, a convenient desk area, a S/S refrigerator, and a handy pantry. Along with the island seating, the ample dining area will accommodate lots of casual company. The kitchen overlooks the cathedral family room with a granite surround fireplace. The owners had the mundane builder fireplace removed and replaced with beautiful gas logs, a granite surround and glass doors that can be opened to take full advantage of the warmth and ambiance of the fire. The upgraded back door, with its leaded glass window, takes you to the composite deck that overlooks greenspace. Relax under the electric awning on warm summer days on this QUIET DECK AWAY FROM ROAD NOISE. Come back in to the bedrooms and baths...follow the hardwood flooring into both bedrooms. The primary suite is spacious and has room-darkening pleated blinds and walk-in closets. The tiled bath has a large shower stall, a corner soaking tub and a double-bowl vanity, plus a window for natural light & ventilation. The cozy second bedroom reminds me of a guest room in a B&B, with lovely light streaming in during the day & room-darkening blinds for a good night's sleep. The hall/guest bath has a ceramic tile floor, a decorative matching sink and toilet, and a shower/tub combo. The laundry room comes equipped with awesome raised matching front-load washer & dryer and an included utility tub, all atop a ceramic tile floor. The 2-car garage floor has been epoxied and the whole-house vacuum cleaner tank is conveniently wall-mounted there. The steps to the basement are carpeted - the only carpet in the house! The unfinished walk-out basement has a gas-fired stove that comfortably heats a good portion of the basement. It's a blank slate for finishing to suit your needs or leave it as is and use for storage, a place to bring the dogs in and out with wet feet, a play area for the grandkids, workout or workshop..you decide. This exceptional community is brimming with myriad amenities designed to enhance your lifestyle.
