It's not often that an opportunity comes up like this one! Lovingly maintained and updated for the last 44 years by the current owners, 196 Brecks Lane is now available for the next owners to enjoy! Bordering Kennett Pike, the Raskob Foundation and the Brandywine Creek, Brecks Lane is a one-way st...reet with 13 homes that back up to a creek and 3 1/2 acres of open space that is shared by the homeowners and formed the Brecks Lane Association in 1969. This classic 1940's stone colonial offers a circular driveway, detached 2-car garage, charming front porch, in-ground pool, 5 bedrooms & 4.1 baths. The first floor features a spacious living room with built-in cabinetry & shelves and a wood burning fireplace. A large picture window is the focal point of this room providing a stunning view of the rear patios, pool, yard and open space. The large traditional dining room offers plenty of room for holiday gatherings and a French door that leads to the brand-new slate patio. The eat-in kitchen offers an attached breakfast and desk area, peninsula for bar stool seating, stainless-steel Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens with convection and a gas range. A beautiful 4-season sunroom is adjacent to the living room with sliding glass doors that lead to the rear yard and patios. A powder room off of the front entry and cozy den with built-in shelves and a gas fireplace complete the 1st floor. The 2nd floor houses 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms that include the beautiful Primary suite with an abundance of built-in closets, private bath, 3rd fireplace and a separate home office. Two 2nd floor balconies can be accessed by a sliding glass door in the master suite office and a door from the rear bedroom. 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath and attic space that provides additional storage space are located on the 3rd level. The lower level is partially finished with a Rec room, 4th fireplace and outside entrance. The exterior of this home is as equally impressive as the interior with professionally landscaped beds thru-out the property, stone walk-ways, a slate patio and a stunning in-ground pool. Just outside the fenced yard is access to the creek and the open space that is owned by the Brecks Lane Association. Additional notable features of this lovely home include: Hardwood floors, Cedar Shake roof (2017), one flat roof (2022), 3 heating zones, gas furnace (2012), Central air (2022).
