A five-bedroom, colonial-style home in Wayne, Delaware County.
Not everybody wishes to one day have 2.5 kids and a big house with a grassy yard in the suburbs. But if that is your dream, well, then, meet your dream home.
This cheerful, bright blue colonial-style home in Wayne, Delaware County encapsulates the idea of a family home — starting with that big back yard.
There’s a handsome stone wall curling around two concrete patios and a fireplace. Next to that, a pergola shades the full outdoor kitchen, equipped with a fridge, gas grill, and slate-top counter. Owners will have no excuse not to hold barbeques every weekend in the summer.
Enclosed by a stone wall, the backyard patio has a fireplace and a nearby outdoor kitchen.
"They removed a lot of trees to level out the backyard for playing, for children to play,” notes listing agent Dan McMonigle.
Other family-friendly features: a huge kitchen with 12-foot granite countertops and refrigerated drawers; five spacious bedrooms; and a finished basement with a mudroom, family room, and craft area (plus a wet bar, should parents feel they need more entertainment than just looking at their kids’ macaroni-and-glue portraits).
The home used to be just one story, but got a second level added six years ago. That addition added a sweet master suite with a vaulted ceiling, personal fridge and coffee bar, and private balcony.
The kitchen has a wet bar with refrigerated drawers, plus long granite countertops.
“You don't have to even go downstairs and make your coffee in the morning. You can make your coffee and go sit out on the balcony," said McMonigle.
Which, if you do have a rambunctious brood running around downstairs, may be the greatest luxury of all.
