Welcome to 1639 Jones Ave, a beautifully maintained four bedroom, three full and two half bathroom stone Colonial home located on a private 2.6 acre lot on Valley Forge Mountain. This home was custom built in 2003 and features beautiful stone, Jamies Hardie board and stucco. It is surrounded by lush greenery on a serene lot filled with mature trees, professional landscaping, and picturesque nature views.
A natural stone path leads you to the mudroom and stately main entrances, flanked by striking landscaped beds on one side and lush green lawn on the other. Upon entering the home you are greeted by a two-story foyer adorned with a grand turned staircase and rich hardwood flooring that runs throughout the main level. To the left is the dining room with detailed crown, chair, and picture moldings and plenty of room to host holidays and dinner parties. The dining room opens to the eat-in kitchen which is filled with solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and glistening stainless steel appliances; gas five burner cooktop with stainless hood, wall oven and microwave, dishwasher and french door refrigerator. A window over the stainless undermount sink offers a stunning view of the private rear yard. Enjoy your meals at the casual island bar seating, or in the adjoining breakfast room with vaulted beamed ceilings and large windows and door to the rear deck that flood the room with natural light.
The updated mudroom with shiplap walls and a low maintenance floor sits just off of the kitchen and hosts the laundry room with cabinetry, a fully renovated powder room, and access to both the front yard and a three-car garage. The open great room sits on the opposite side of the kitchen with vaulted beamed ceilings and oversized windows. A floor to ceiling brick fireplace with rustic wood beam mantle anchors the space. A glass door in this space provides a second direct access to the rear Trex deck for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. This outdoor living space leads to the brick paver patio, both overlooking the lush garden beds bordered by a stacked stone wall. Back inside, off the great room is a spacious home office with glass french doors perfect for today’s hybrid working climate. An additional powder room, a large pantry closet with window and access to the lower level complete the first floor.
The primary suite encompasses the left side of the second floor and features hardwood floors, a tray ceiling, and a gas fireplace in the seating area for ultimate comfort. The attached ensuite spa-inspired bathroom boasts plenty of storage in the dual sink vanity cabinetry with private water closet and behind double doors you will find a glass-enclosed shower with bench and a jetted soaking tub. Rounding out this suite is a custom outfitted walk-in closet to store even the largest shoe collection. Two additional bedrooms can be found on this level, each with walk-in closets. One has an ensuite bath and the other has access to the hall bathroom. The third floor hosts the fourth bedroom suite with a separate sitting room. The lower level (approximately 1300 sf) features a full, unfinished basement with high ceilings offering ample storage or future space to finish. RECENT UPDATES: 2023: custom shutters, hardwood floors refinished, new carpet in office and front bedroom. 2022: full renovation of mudroom, powder room and laundry. 2021: new shelving and storage in garage.
This home is in the wonderful community of Valley Forge Mountain that offers the Sun Bowl park, a swim club, tennis club and a neighborhood association with many fun events throughout the year. It is conveniently located minutes from the Valley Forge National Park, major routes and access to shopping and restaurants.
