Echo Valley is an enclave neighborhood of homes on 1-2+ acre lots with feelings of both community and privacy, and one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Newtown Square. Set upon 1.5 acres of lush property, beauty surrounds this lovely home. Front hardscaping was rebuilt with reclaimed antique bricks, designed to complement the original architectural style. Curved garden beds accent the home and a covered front porch highlights the friendly feel of the neighborhood. Rest here a few moments taking in the setting, watching hummingbirds, listening to the creek babbling, and waving to neighbors walking their dogs. The front door allows light to flow through the walnut glass-paneled door and side lights. Inside, the spacious living room offers endless design options. Leave it as a cozy family room or create a formal living space. Opposite the living room is a cozy den with a brick surround wood-burning fireplace with a stylish brushed bronze cover. This versatile space is used as a home office and second casual living area. Beyond the living room is a handsome formal dining room with a chair rail, wood pegged floors, and beautiful views of the yard and creek. A spacious eat-in kitchen features an inviting center island, stainless appliances, double-oven, and newer dishwasher. Separate laundry and powder rooms complete the 1st floor. Kitchen glass sliding doors offer views of the expansive back yard. Once a small strip of grass flanked by thick woods, trees and brush were cleared out to reveal a spectacular and very useable flat backyard full of character and entertainment. Manicured mature trees, professionally designed gardens, a large Amish-built shed, a stacked stone raised garden hosting a lush vegetable garden, and a woodchip covered trail create an enchanting outdoor space you will enjoy for years to come. Follow the trail over the creek across the two bridges to the red barn. The Barn is your solution to a virtual learning (or working) space, nestled among nature?s classroom surrounded by trees, birds, and animals. Sit on the bridge while reading a book and listening to the water trickle underneath your feet. Back in the house, a finished basement with offers another work/learn-from-home space. Direct access to the 2-car garage is on this level. New solid wood interior doors and brushed bronze hardware throughout, double hung tilt-in replacement windows, a brand new driveway, and newer walnut garage doors to compliment the updated front door design are just some of the updates you will enjoy at this home. A full list of improvements is available upon request. The neighborhood has an informal association with regular parties, events, and community service efforts. Echo Valley is the ultimate combination of convenience while still feeling like you can get away from the daily grind.
