Description

Searching for your own Chester County gem to live and host in the award-winning Downingtown Area School District? Look no further! Situated on just over one-acre on a quiet street in the Sherwood Manor neighborhood of East Brandywine Township is the gorgeous and well-maintained 26 Gloucester Drive. Upon arrival, the home’s charming curbside presence sets the stage for this expansive raised rancher. As you approach the home, you cannot help but to admire the mature trees, stone façade and covered front entryway. This home is just welcoming you inside! As you enter through the front door into the main level foyer you cannot help but to notice the neutral paint and hard flooring throughout. To the left of the foyer you will find the bright and spacious living room with classic chair railing that is open to the dining/kitchen combination. The dining room with a bay window adjoins the kitchen situated at the back of the home. The kitchen includes beautiful wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar and pantry closet. A rear bay window allows an abundance of natural light to pour in and offers views of the back yard so you can keep an eye on your two and four-legged family members! Venture down the hallway to the other side of the home and down a few stairs to find the private and tucked away primary bedroom suite addition. The luxurious primary bedroom features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, solar powered skylights that open and close for fresh air, a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The en-suite bathroom includes a dual sink vanity and walk-in tiled shower with semi-frameless glass. The primary suite also has center-set French doors leading to a section of the rear deck – perfect for sipping on your morning cup of coffee or win(e)d down glass of wine. Back inside, on the main level you will find an additional bedroom suite with great closet space and an en-suite bathroom with a stall shower. Two additional bedrooms of generous size share a full hallway bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Two hallway linen closets and a foyer coat closet complete this level. Looking for additional space? Off the foyer you will find access through a Dutch door to the finished basement that can be used as a (wo)mancave, playroom, movie room, sports bar – maybe all of the above? It includes a wood/coal burning stove and a corner dry bar with space for a table. The lower-level also houses the laundry room with floor to ceiling cabinetry and countertop space that is ideal for all your folding and organizing needs as well as inside access to the two-car garage. Completing this floor is a storage closet and convenient rear entry to the well-manicured backyard. Love to be a host(ess) with the most(est)? Step outside to find an entertainers dream with the expansive patio/deck that overlooks the yard complete with beautiful flower beds, a firepit/bonfire area, above ground pool, play set and storage shed. New septic system installed in November 2024, new hot water heater installed in 2023, and new AC system installed in 2018. Looking to burn off some energy?
