Description
Welcome to 277 Kennett Pike in Chadds Ford. This 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on 2 acres and combines spacious living with recent updates. The home features a first-floor primary bedroom and a fully renovated primary bathroom with radiant heated floors, new tub, vanity, and shower.

Additional improvements include fresh paint, an updated garage floor with wall cabinets, refreshed landscaping, and new kitchen appliances. Interior highlights include random-width long leaf pine floors, a large living room with marble surround and custom millwork, a formal dining room with built-in china cabinet, and an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and cherry cabinets.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
