About This Home

7 Bittersweet Drive may be one of the most architecturally distinct and amenity-rich homes available on the market today. Privately nestled on 12 acres on Bittersweet Drive, one of the most sought after and exclusive roads in the award-winning Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, this extraordinary 7,248-square-foot residence seamlessly blends refined elegance with versatile functionality. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half bathrooms, and spaces designed for both grand entertaining and quiet retreat, this home offers something truly special at every turn. The two-story Foyer immediately impresses with a soaring beaded-board ceiling, ceramic tile floors, and abundant windows that flood the space with light. Just beyond, the Living Room boasts a wall of windows and a dramatic stone fireplace, while the adjacent Family Room mirrors this grandeur with skylights, a beaded-board ceiling, and its own fireplace—ideal for cozy gatherings. The gourmet Kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with a Blue Star six-burner range, stainless farm sinks, granite island, and breakfast nook with copper-topped windowsill. Nearby, the Butler’s Pantry and oversized three-car Garage add everyday convenience. The Primary Suite is a sanctuary tucked at the end of the upper-level hall, complete with two walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom with soaking tub, dual vanities, skylight, and an adjoining Office Study with fireplace and custom cabinetry. Four additional bedrooms on the lower level provide ample space for family, guests, or au pair, with one suite offering exterior access and a private bath. At the heart of the home is the spectacular indoor Pool—visible from many rooms—anchored by skylights and south-facing doors, and flanked by a Sauna, Steam Shower, Bar, Wine Cellar, and Billiard Room with brick fireplace. Outside, enjoy peaceful woodland views from the elevated Deck, garden paths, the delightful coy pond with waterfall and tranquil sitting areas. A Party Barn, charming Tree House and small stable complete this idyllic estate. With geothermal heating and cooling, a whole house generator, lush landscaping and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout, 7 Bittersweet Drive is a rare opportunity to own a true lifestyle property that balances serenity, space, and sophistication. Showings begin with the Broker's Open House on Friday, April 10th at 1pm.
