The timeless design and solid construction of this custom estate home on a large lot is in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Lower Gwynedd and top rated Wissahickon School District. Its quiet, walkable location can’t be beat! This exquisite home features 7 bedrooms, 6 full baths, 2 half baths, mudroom with shower, finished 1400+ sq ft basement and an oversized 3+ car garage. You will appreciate the radiant heat throughout the foyer, kitchen, breakfast room, great room, powder room, mudroom and primary bath, along with 1 wood burning and 2 gas fireplaces. 4- zone HVAC, 400 amp service, internet and cable wired throughout, first floor and backyard sound system, and whole house water softener and filtration system are already in place. The stately exterior of brick and Hardy plank siding, a circular driveway with oval paver entryway, flagstone path, mature trees and extensive landscaping offer welcoming curb appeal. The private, in-ground, heated, fully automated, saltwater pool and spa is highlighted by the stunning newly installed glass tile, PebbleTec surface, and new heater. The expansive EP Henry paver pool decking, patio, and walkway provide lots of space to entertain outdoors. Upon entering the home, you are immediately drawn to the enormous crystal chandelier, hardwood staircase with open steel and brass wraparound railing extending 3 stories. A living room/flex space enclosed with 2 sets of glass doors and the dining room with gas fireplace and 2 sets of arched glass doors flank the foyer. 2 coat closets in the foyer provide plenty of storage. From the foyer, enter the custom chef’s kitchen with its 12 ft island and corresponding wet bar, flowing into the bright breakfast room with vaulted ceiling where you can enjoy the view of your pool and backyard. The enormous kitchen with granite countertop and backsplash features a SubZero refrigerator, dual zone SubZero wine refrigerator, 2 beverage drawers, Dacor 6-burner gas range, Gaggenau steamer, Bosch dishwasher, double convection wall oven, warming drawer, island with convenient prep sink and plentiful storage.

Step down from the kitchen into the great room with wood burning fireplace and media center with surround system and custom oak built-ins. Sliding doors into the screen porch are most convenient. This flexible floor plan is sure to please. Down the hall past the powder room is a mudroom with access to the backyard. The bonus room off the garage entry offers access to the 2nd floor and the basement.

Continue down the hall to find 3 linen closets, laundry room, 2 more bedrooms and the rear staircase. The third floor with its cozy reading nook is away from the bustle of the rest of the house. 2 cedar closets, a bedroom with separate workspace, walk-in cedar closet and an additional bedroom with access to the utility/storage room complete the 3rd floor.
