Colonial

Nestled within the serenity of a private 1.75-acre wooded lot, this 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath home is located in the award winning Wissahickon School District. With a thoughtfully crafted layout and vistas of the surrounding landscape, this home provides an idyllic sanctuary just steps away from the 82-acre Prophecy Creek Park, the 33-acre Briar Hill Preserve, Cheston Family Preserve, and Armentrout & Camp Woods which are accessible through a gate on the property. A charming covered brick front porch leads to the gracious foyer with slate floor and double closet. The expansive living room boasts a striking brick fireplace and hardwood flooring. The sunlit kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring an abundance of cabinetry, newly installed gas cooking, two ovens (one convection), a built-in microwave, and tiled flooring.  The adjacent dining room, enhanced by glass French doors, serves as an intimate gathering spot. The expansive great room is highlighted by a second enormous brick fireplace complemented by custom built-in cabinetry. Hardwood floors, a beamed ceiling, and picturesque sylvan views in every direction complete the ambiance. Sliding glass doors provide access to a covered patio, perfect for al fresco dining or relaxation. Convenience meets functionality with the first of two well-placed laundry rooms located off the kitchen, designed to serve as a practical mudroom with ample cabinets, a utility sink, and direct patio access. Rounding off the main floor is a powder room with slate floors. The well-appointed primary bedroom suite is a haven of comfort and style, offering breathtaking views via a huge bay window with sills made for a comfy reading nook, two generous walk-in closets, and an ensuite bathroom complete with a double sink vanity and a separate water closet with tiled stall shower. A second bedroom with its own ensuite bath provides versatility. This bedroom has access to a spacious, unfinished attic space that holds potential for a convenient kitchenette to accommodate multigenerational living (in-law or au pair suite) or guests (plans available). Completing the upper level are three additional generously sized bedrooms, a hall bath with spa tub, and the second laundry room for added convenience. The large finished basement provides ample space for recreation or fitness pursuits.
