Welcome to 260 South Thistledown Drive! If you've been looking for a well-maintained and updated home on a large, beautiful lot that is less than 5 minutes to everything Kennett Square has to offer, then this is it! This lovely, contemporary Cape Cod is located on a cul de sac in the quiet and private
McClellan Farms community, less than a mile from Bancroft Elementary School. Pulling up to the
front of the house, you'll notice the updated stone facing and front door flanked by two large stone
planter boxes. Enter into the foyer that opens into the living room. This space is expansive and bright
thanks to the vaulted ceiling and large custom Anderson windows, which are complimented by an
automated Bali shade. The stone and wood details flow into the living room, complete with a cozy
gas fireplace boasting a live edge-walnut mantle. Adjacent to the living room is the bright updated
eat-in kitchen with a huge butcher block island, plenty of cabinets, Corian countertops, generous
pantry storage, and newer stainless appliances. The dining room is right around the corner, ready for
your family dinners. Just beyond the dining area is a gorgeous tiled sunroom with a vaulted ceiling
and beautiful views of the propertys lush greenery. The sun room is currently being enjoyed as a
peaceful home office space. The half bath is just down the hall. The large master bedroom is at the
end of the hall. It has a vaulted ceiling, large custom windows, spacious walk-in closet, and an en- suite. The master en-suite bath is beautifully updated with all the luxuries a big walk-in shower with
dual shower heads, exotic hardwood flooring and natural stone tile; heated tile floors; floating vanity
with brushed nickel faucets; and a water-efficient floating Toto toilet. The entire first floor had new
white oak hardwood flooring installed in May. Head upstairs to find two more bedrooms with
spacious closets and the updated 2nd full bath. Then, head downstairs to even more space! The
basement is spacious with tons of storage. The finished side of the basement is currently being
used as a gym and cycling studio. There are three large storage closets, too. The cycling studio
could also be used as a bonus guest room, as it has a pocket door to keep it private. The unfinished
portion of the basement has the large laundry room and a huge woodworking workshop space with
an air filter system and egress out to the yard from the bulkhead doors. Speaking of the outdoors, the massive deck is made from exotic Brazilian Ipe wood which lasts 50+ years, requires little
maintenance, and has the same fire-rating as concrete; thats why the fire-pit is built right into it! Out
a bit further is a fenced-in raised-bed garden with water-catchment system and a large gardening
shed. The tranquil near-acre of land is flanked by mature trees and greenery and offers privacy with
abundant wildlife sightings. A one-car garage, additional attached storage shed, and 6-space
driveway round out this awesome property. This home is just minutes from historic downtown
Kennett Square and all of its amenities. That means that you have easy access to The Creamery,
Kennett Brewing Co., Talula's Table, the Market at Liberty Place, a short drive to world-renowned
Longwood Gardens or Winterthur Museum and an easy drive to both Philadelphia International
Airport and BWI. Updates include: new deck (2012), new Andersen windows (2014), new roof (2014), new water heater (2014), new stone facing and front door
