Welcome to Chives Den, a lovingly expanded colonial just minutes to New Hope Boro and Peddlers Village. This home was completely transformed from its original 1960 footprint into a family-centered home by the previous owner who was a professional contractor. Completely redone in 2006, the plans included a second-floor master bedroom and ensuite bath, a 2-story complete in-law addition, and a 30x25 great room with basement added to the existing footprint. Also included in the reinvention of the home was the large Carlton plaster pool with diving board, enormous 40x60 metal pole building with heated workshop and parking for 8 cars, and a large septic system with sand mound. The current owners have added an 18kW solar system to the workshop building in 2018 which provides 80-90% of your total electricity needs. This large home is nestled on an expansive and private 3 acres of property which is a haven for deer and native birds. The dining room features custom wainscoting trim and room for formal dinners with 10 guests. The living room has floor-to-ceiling custom built bookshelves and recessed lighting. The expansive family room/great room with inset wood stove and enormous Anderson windows brings in natural light and is a natural family gathering place. The enormous kitchen island topped with honed black granite counters seats 3-4 while prepping meals and chatting in the well-appointed space. Stainless appliance package, 3 large pantry closets, and Italian tile backsplash make cooking in this kitchen seamless. The rear mudroom entry and laundry room off the kitchen separates a large home office area and guest suite complete with a full bath. Upstairs you will find 3 spacious bedrooms and a remodeled hallway bath. A sitting room connects you to the expansive main bedroom suite with 2 large closets or to the main bathroom situated over the front foyer. The in-law addition boasts a full bath on each level and cathedral ceilings on the second floor. If the buyer wishes, the space can be connected to the main home through the living room or an upstairs bedroom walls - expanding your total living area options even further!
