About This Home
Who wants instant equity??!!! This is your chance to grab this property and view! Bring your architect or contractor and update this home, you can do whatever you want to the house, but the fantastic view and location remains!! In the heart of Chadds Ford Township, Unionville Chadds Ford School District. One of only 9 homes situated on Karver Lake. Lovingly built by the original owner, have coffee on your new deck (2026) just enjoying sunrise and sunsets, with an elevated view of your lake! A super private lot, bordered by protected farm land, the historical Kuerner Farm, often a subject of Andrew Wyeth, that can never be built on. This contemporary home features an abundance of windows, glass sliding doors and natural light! The spacious main floor flows well with cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors! Enjoy views of the farm (plenty of deer, fox and an occasional wild turkey) from the eat in kitchen with a large center island and a ton of cabinets! More pantry storage in a mud room connected to the garage! The dining room and sunken living room have picturesque windows that overlook the lake from every angle! This layout is ideal for casual enjoyment or entertaining! There is a see through double sided wood burning fireplace and 2 flex rooms for a second living room/media room and a small office, which could be an extra bedroom, but no closet! The first floor primary suite has a private full bath with soaking tub and walk in closet. The sprawling lower level has a stone fireplace, butler pantry with wet bar, new laminate plank flooring and yet another glass sliding door to a patio, again over looking your lake! There are 2 additional bedrooms, with glass sliding doors as well, a utility room, a full hall bath and a large laundry room with utility sink. Ownership of Karver Lake is shared, by deed, by the 9 existing properties that surround it. Each owner pays $2400/yr for maintenance and upkeep. There is an old floating dock (Please do not walk on this, as it hasn't been used in years and may be damaged), and you can swim, canoe, kayak, fish, ice skate or just enjoy its wondrous existence. There are many mentionable great things, brand new roof & gutters (2026), energy efficient Geothermal HVAC which uses the earths core temperature to heat/cool your home, 3 car oversized garage, fresh neutral paint in almost every room and a driveway with auxiliary parking for at least 10 cars. This location can't be beat, your own private oasis, yet minutes to Rt 202 & Rt 1, DE tax free shopping, hospitals and all major highways! This home needs guardianship court approval to convey, so sellers wish to sell "as is" and may need a little extra lead time for court approval once an offer is accepted. Please do not walk the property without an appointment and your agent present!
