Tucked away in the desirable Locust Knolls neighborhood, this move-in-ready Colonial offers elegance, comfort, and functionality—plus a brand-new roof installed within the last 2 years and no HOA! Set on 1.2 private acres with a fully fenced backyard backing to serene woods, this home is perfect for both quiet evenings and lively gatherings.

From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable, with a hardscaped paver walkway leading to a charming, low-maintenance front country porch. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, guiding you to a bright and inviting Living Room adorned with crown molding and custom wainscoting—perfect as a flexible home office or a peaceful spot to unwind

The Kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring granite countertops, a travertine tile backsplash, 42-inch raised-panel cabinetry with glass-front curios, stainless steel appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook. The kitchen is open to the light-filled Family Room, creating the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining. Here, a whitewashed brick wood-burning fireplace with a new liner offers cozy warmth, while sliding doors lead to the deck, paver walkways, and stone patio. The open flow also extends into the spacious Dining Room, where a wall of windows frames beautiful views and provides access to the expansive multi-season covered porch—complete with composite flooring, skylights, and side access to the deck—ideal for year-round gatherings.

Upstairs, the Primary Suite boasts custom closet organizers, bonus armoire storage, and a fully renovated ensuite with a floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower, mosaic accents, built-in shelving, and frameless glass door. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bath.

The walk-out finished basement is an entertainer’s paradise—complete with a home theater (surround sound included), granite-topped serving bar, game/rec room, storage space, and direct yard access. Car lovers and hobbyists will appreciate the oversized 2-car garage plus a separate insulated 1-car garage with transom windows, electricity, and built-in Craftsman cabinetry. The extended paved driveway provides ample parking and an easy turn-around.

Additional highlights include a tankless hot water heater, under-porch gated storage, mature landscaping, and a prime cul-de-sac location just minutes from shopping, parks, train stations, and major routes (30 Bypass, PA Turnpike, Routes 202 & 100). All this within the award-winning Downingtown School District & STEM Academy.
