64 BRANDYWINE VALLEY HOMENATURAL HIGH JASON SANDY/ANGLE EYE PHOTOGRAPHYThe owners of a custom home in West Chester wanted to immerse themselves in the four acres of countryside just outside their window. They turned to Period Architecture and Janiczek Homes with a wish list that included amping up the curb appeal and creating alfresco spaces behind the house where family and friends can gather. A two-story porch provides a large deck shaded by a pergola above and a veranda below. %u201cThe owners love to entertain, and the upper level serves as an extension of their indoor living spaces,%u201d says builder Mark Janiczek. %u201cThe shaded pergola is nice for intimate gatherings, outdoor dining or simply quiet relaxation while taking in the view.%u201d The veranda connects to a finished basement with a well-stocked wine cellar. Designed for entertaining, the flow extends from the indoors out to a spacious flagstone patio and firepit. From the firepit, there's an expansive view of a wooded valley and a creek where herons congregate in search of fish. The refreshed outdoor haven now provides the perfect spot for relaxing and making memories. %u2014Eileen Smith DallabridaGET INSPIREDAn outdoor space in West Chester is reimagined for alfresco living.
