When a beautifully proportioned house is perched on a 1.52 acre corner lot and surrounded by New Hope Creek trails that wind through Duke Forest, Johnston's Mill Nature Preserve and Hollow Rock Nature Park, it's a good idea to call it home! This stately 5-plus bedroom home has large bright rooms that flow together seamlessly across classic white oak floors on the main level and plush carpet on the second floor bedrooms. The property is 1/2 woods and 1/2 gardens, forming a perfectly balanced environment. It's also completely fenced and gated to keep pets in. The large kitchen has endless potential with a bar for seating up close or a large breakfast nook that comfortably seats 8 people. The formal dining room & living room work in unison for intimate space or together for larger gatherings. The generous deck runs across the back of the house joining the kitchen and dining room, creating an extra layer of living space. A bonus room/apartment above the garage is the perfect in-law suite, home theater, game room, studio, office, or room to rent. With window-lined walls, the views of the woods and gardens are pure joy. Separate stairs from the mud room on 1st floor, creates a totally private space for this area. In addition, the first floor office, with built in shelfs and large closet and bathroom, also makes a perfect guest suite when a bedroom is needed on the main level. So many options! Finally, an easy get-a-away awaits around the corner at the Stoneridge/Sedgefield Swim & Racquet Club. The tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, playground structures and grassy grounds are available 365 days a year. 204 Longwood Drive in Stoneridge is absolutely ideal.
