Listing description

Welcome to Carolannes Way in West Chester, PA, an exceptional opportunity to build a fully custom luxury estate home in Sussex of West Chester, a private gated community by Hellings Builders, a premier custom homebuilder with more than 35 years of experience. Set among the rolling hills and preserved open space of the Brandywine Valley, Sussex offers something increasingly difficult to find in West Chester: expansive 2+ acre homesites, privacy, sweeping views, spectacular sunsets, and the opportunity to build a truly custom home. Each residence is thoughtfully positioned to maximize space and privacy, creating a neighborhood of distinctive estate homes where no two homes look alike, yet all feel as though they belong. Each home is custom designed in collaboration with renowned architect Mark Stanish and tailored to the way you want to live. Whether your vision includes a main-level primary suite, multigenerational living, scullery, elevator, finished lower level, covered porch, pool, outdoor kitchen, or expansive entertaining spaces, the design process allows you to create a home around your lifestyle rather than adapt to a predetermined floor plan. A limited number of estate homesites ranging from approximately 2.1 to 3.7 acres remain available, offering room for outdoor living, recreation, and the privacy that has become increasingly rare in luxury new construction. Sussex combines the peace of Brandywine Valley living with exceptional convenience. Enjoy easy access to downtown West Chester, Chadds Ford, Longwood Gardens, Wilmington, Philadelphia International Airport, King of Prussia, and the Main Line, along with the area's renowned dining, shopping, countryside, and cultural attractions. Located within the West Chester Area School District and near many of the region’s well-regarded private and parochial schools, Sussex offers a rare opportunity to create more than a custom home. It is a place to build the home you have imagined for years, one designed for the way you live today and for the generations that will gather there tomorrow. Photos are of a previously built Hellings Builders home and may depict premiums and upgraded selections. Multiple homesites available with builder tie-in.
