Single Family Detached Downingtown

Welcome to 461 Norland Drive, beautifully positioned within the prestigious Applecross community of Downingtown, where luxury living and breathtaking views come together in perfect harmony. Located on the only street in the community with direct, front-facing golf course views, this exceptional home enjoys unobstructed vistas of both the 16th and 17th holes.

Imagine starting your morning with a cup of coffee as the sun rises over the fairways, listening to the birds and watching golfers make their approach to the 16th green or tee off on the 17th. It’s the kind of view that never gets old and feels more like a private resort than a neighborhood.

What makes this homesite truly special is the contrast it offers. Sweeping golf course views and open green space stretch across the front of the property, while the rear backs to more than an acre of picturesque Chester County countryside, creating a sense of privacy and tranquility that is increasingly hard to find.

Whether you’re relaxing on the expansive deck, dining al fresco beneath the covered porch, or simply taking in the scenery from inside, every space is designed to showcase this extraordinary setting.

A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you inside, where rich hardwood floors extend throughout the main level. Flanking the foyer are a private office with French doors and an elegant formal living room that flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, creating the perfect setting for entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a spectacular gourmet kitchen, completely redesigned in 2023. Designed to impress, it features a sprawling 13-foot center island with seating for six, a 60-inch Thermador gas range, built-in Thermador microwave drawer, Fisher & Paykel double dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, quartz countertops, designer tile backsplash, and custom ceiling-height cabinetry with integrated outlets.

The kitchen opens to the spacious family room and provides direct access to the deck and covered porch, where panoramic views of the private backyard create a stunning backdrop for everyday living. With ample room for a future pool or outdoor entertaining oasis, the possibilities are endless.

Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spacious sitting room and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, oversized shower with built-in seating, dual vanities, private water closet, and a large walk-in closet. A princess suite enjoys its own private bath, while two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. A second-floor laundry room adds convenience.

The fully finished walk-up basement adds more than 1,200 square feet of living space and was designed with entertaining in mind. Highlights include a custom kitchenette with quartz countertops, beverage fridge, kegerator, and live-edge bar overlooking the lounge area. A fifth bedroom and full bath make this level ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private in-law suite, with walk-up access offering the potential for a separate entrance.

Recent updates include a whole-home generator (2023), new HVAC systems (2023), a newly finished basement (2025), and a tankless water heater with PEX plumbing manifold (2024).

Beyond your doorstep, Applecross offers a true resort-style lifestyle, featuring a Nicklaus-designed golf course, fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, pool bar, tennis courts, Studio T fitness and dance studio, restaurant and bar, and a vibrant calendar of social events. Combined with the award-winning Downingtown Area School District and convenient access to shopping, dining, parks, and major commuter routes, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of luxury, lifestyle, and location.

Opportunities to own on this coveted street are exceptionally rare. Applecross — Live Where You Play
