Property Description
Lovely contemporary loft END unit in Birch Pointe condominiums nestled in the heart of Delaware's Pike Creek Valley, featuring 2 bedrooms and two baths. One bathroom on the main level with dramatic spiral staircase leading to upper level loft and full bathroom. The master bedroom has a large walk in closet, 3 large windows with transom light windows above & a door to the first floor bathroom. This bathroom also offers a Jack & Jill style access door to the hallway. The second bedroom has a closet & window w/transom light window above. This rarely available end unit (only 32 in community) provides significant natural light with a total window count of 20. All windows are Kolby and can be repaired/replaced by a Kolby dealer in West Chester. From the rear elevation, you can look straight up into the sky from indoors...an unobstructed view only available in the loft units. In addition to the two skylights in the loft, this 1371 +/- square foot A-3 design built by Reston Corporation includes three additional windows on the side of the building: one in the master bedroom, main level bath & living room, and also a total of 8 transom light windows. This home first sold in 1987 and also includes huge transom windows over the French door. The typical transom in this area is a rectangular one, not as high as these two windows! The 250 sq ' +/- loft provides an ideal setting for an artist studio, home office or guest room. The rear elevation also backs to a tree line with a babbling brook...ready for happy hour relaxation on the reconstructed spindle type balcony. The front elevation view is directly across from open space with a concrete lighted stairway leading to Birch Circle. Diana Drive is a short street providing ample parking on both sides of the street & minimal traffic. One parking permit per unit permitting resident parking on the building side of road. Owners with multiple autos and guests may park across the street. Parking rules will be enforced and fines will be imposed effective 2020. The trash receptacle and mailbox are conveniently located across the street from this unit. The parking area is well lit with newly installed lighting on the bridge to the building. The newly installed intercom & buzzer system permits owner to open the building security door from each unit, after verification on the phone. The unit offers six panel doors and custom wood trim. This building is one of three twin buildings in the community. There are 8+/- steps up for access to this unit from the main level entrance then main floor living with open loft. More upgrades to this particular END unit include vaulted ceilings in both main level bedrooms, a spindle type loft open railing, a main level bathroom window, 9' ceilings and also an 18' cathedral ceiling in the living room/loft area. The monthly condo fee of $350 (discounted to $330 if ACH program is utilized) currently includes: Water, Sewer, Trash, basic Cable, Exterior building maintenance, common area maintenance inside the building, lawn & snow removal and common area insurance. The on site maintenance staff is very responsive and knowledgeable regarding this 20+/- acre community-a wonderful home close to Carousel Park with the dog run area near the pond. Please note: Cable service costs will be eliminated by 7/1/20 thereby reducing the monthly association fee. The unit owner will choose and pay vendor directly for future service. Fireplaces were capped in Birch Pointe in 2006. The fireplace is for aesthetic value only-non-functional. A replacement is available through a local installer for either wood or electric. This fireplace was relined in 2000, and never used. Note: $2,000 Capital contribution fee at settlement for investment property purchase only. Owner is licensed agent in DE, MD & PA. Only pre-approved buyers please!
