Property details
About 895 Bainbridge Dr
Welcome to Wildbanks, a home offering 6,075 sq. ft. of refined livability in a one-of-a-kind, private setting. Sited down a long drive off a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Bainbridge neighborhood, this exceptional home blends community at the front with seclusion at the rear. The property backs to protected township parkland, ensuring that its idyllic views remain forever preserved. Named for the two streams that meet on its grounds, this 11.9-acre estate is largely left in its natural state. It’s a haven for local wildlife—deer, foxes, rabbits, turtles, and countless birds—who share the land’s open lawns, wooded areas, and meandering waterway. Though the setting is serene, the location is also highly convenient—just 15 minutes from the charming college town of West Chester, with its vibrant downtown, university community, dining, and cultural offerings. Inside, every detail reflects a balance of beauty and functionality. Wildbanks has been meticulously designed to accommodate elegant entertaining and busy family life. Meant to evolve with the changing rhythms of a family, the home delivers both comfort and sophistication, with six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, multiple gathering spaces, and abundant storage. Upon entry, a double-height wainscoted foyer, crowned by a vintage chandelier, sets the tone with unexpected flair. A graceful staircase and glass doors overlook the tri-level rear deck. Flanking the foyer, the formal living and dining rooms feature exquisitely detailed hardwood floors. The living room, with a wood-burning fireplace, leads to a sunken vestibule and an elegant powder room—complete with a marble standing shower cleverly concealed to also serve an adjacent bedroom. Across from the dining room, a butler’s pantry offers a wet bar with a secondary dishwasher and the pass-through to the kitchen streamlines both entertaining and cleanup. The chef’s kitchen is a dream, equipped with two sinks, high-end appliances (including a 48” refrigerator, double ovens, gas cooktop, warming drawers), and a walk-in pantry. French doors lead to the spacious family room, where massive windows and a grand wood-burning fireplace creates a welcoming connection between the indoors and nature. A mudroom, charming laundry, additional powder room and oversized coat closet with built-in storage complete the main floor. The walk-out lower level offers a flexible layout that can serve as a private in-law or au pair suite. It includes a fully mirrored and well-equipped gym, a lounge with wet bar, electric fireplace and TV, a wine room with variable temperature wine storage, and a generously sized guest bedroom with a walk-in closet and full bath that also serves the living area—ideal for long-term guests, multigenerational living, or live-in help. Upstairs, a couple’s dream office/library awaits with a gas fireplace, two built-in desks, library stacks, and a sunlit window seat beckoning young readers. Three additional bedrooms—each with walk-in closets—share a hall bath and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, all thoughtfully designed with linen closets and family-friendly tub/showers. Robern medicine cabinets add convenience. Alone, at the end of the hall, is the owner’s retreat. Double doors open to a capacious sun-filled bedroom with a gas fireplace visible from the bed. A second set of doors leads through dual dressing rooms to the spa-like primary bath, where a freestanding tub rests on a marble “carpet” amid radiant heated floors. A dual-person stall shower offers a refreshing complement to the soaking tub, while an electric fireplace and built-in TV make necessary daily rituals feel special. Custom cabinetry accommodates every need, with features like a makeup vanity, salon drawers, a towel warmer, and a hidden refrigerator. This exceptional home must be experienced to be truly appreciated. It offers a rare harmony of luxury, livability, natural beauty, and accessibility.
