Property Description
Character and charm prevail on Channing Rd. in heart of old Brandywine Hills! Stone walls over 1-ft. thick, original stone walkway and 2 original bay windows offer stunning 1st impression. Maintained original oak floors throughout. Traditional characteristics continue in LR with deep windowsills, bay window, ornate crown molding, marble FP and built-in arched bookcase, highlighting spectacular millwork.

PR boasts pedestal sink and has subtle wallpaper. Double-door, walk-in hall closet sits opposite. Showpiece in spacious carpeted FR is antique copper wood-burning FP with bricks/slate surround. Chair rail with painted brick below offers texture, while picture window on back wall provides views to meticulous yard, where bird watching is a must. Tile inset is before vestibule that leads to driveway and perfect spot for bringing in groceries. Easy and instantaneous! Eat-in kitchen has ceramic tile floors, light wood cabinets, chair rail and deep window. Glass-pane door grants access to walk-in pantry, a nicety! LL has built-in bench in rec room, dual entrance to storage and work bench, and laundry facilities. DR's colors are mirror image of outside with natural tones of tan and green. Old-world charm resonates with original bay window and built-in corner hutch with original hardware. Tan crown molding and swing door give room warmth, perfect perch to watch hummingbirds who debut early May and stay all summer. 2nd level features arched doorway, a sign of earlier craftsmanship. Full bath has new cabinetry and looks amazing with retro black and white original tile work. Both secondary BRs have big closets and hardwoods, while 1 BR has computer nook and angled ceiling. Carpeted MBR has 4 symmetrically placed windows, walk-in closet and adjoining bath. New cherry cabinetry blends with original soft pink tile. Walk-up floored attic with original stone wall offers storage. Serene backyard features landscaping, garden shed and detached 2-car garage faced with stone, new roof and new cupola.
