About This Home

As of January 2023

This gorgeous 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Colonial-style home in the sought-after Forest Creek neighborhood home in Blue Bell, Whitpain Township is the one you’ve been dreaming of and waiting for! Located on a large, beautiful, wooded lot that is just over an acre in size, this home offers all of the interior living spaces buyers are seeking today--a spacious custom kitchen with counter seating, a separate eat-in dining area, a butler’s pantry, a stunning formal dining room, a formal living room, a family room with a fireplace, and a large finished basement with multiple distinct areas to entertain and relax. Let’s take a tour: Once you step off the covered front porch area through the double door entry and into a dramatic 2-story foyer you will immediately see glimpses of what makes this home so special—beautiful millwork, crown molding, hardwood floors, stylish lighting fixtures, and so much more. To the left of the foyer and through a set of French doors is a fantastic formal living room and to the right is a dreamy dining room with a beautiful bay window with a window seat. Both rooms overlook the attractively landscaped front yard area. The hallway between the foyer and the eat-in area of the kitchen offers a powder room and two large closets. Yet another area between the dining room and kitchen is home to a beautiful butler’s pantry. Now let’s talk about the spectacular, Instagram-worthy, custom eat-in kitchen complete with a large island with seating, a Bosch dishwasher, a Viking gas range, double ovens, and refrigerator, a Sharp Microwave, and a separate beverage fridge. The eat-in area of the kitchen is spacious enough to host a large table for everyday dining, leaving the dining room for special occasions and holidays. Windows near the dining area of the kitchen and atop the sink overlook the deck and backyard area and allow plenty of light to fill the space. Beyond this spectacular kitchen is a large family room perfect for relaxing in front of the cozy fireplace. This home has glass-paned French doors that open into the aforementioned formal living room area. This home has amazing flow from room to room and to the outside area, which is perfect for all of your entertaining needs. Are you a nature lover? If so, step outside into the large screened-in porch or onto the equally large deck and take in the gorgeous and peaceful views of the wooded back yard area. There is also a pretty fire pit area in the yard itself and a path to the creek flowing behind the home. If you have an angler in your household they will surely love spending time here. Rumor has it George Washington's men camped in this area and drew water from this creek in the autumn of 1777. Back inside and upstairs you will find an incredible primary bedroom suite with a seating area, sleeping area, and an en suite bathroom that rivals that of any luxury hotel. Just wait until you see the wonderful walk-in closet. The second level of the home also features 3 more beautiful bedrooms that share an attractively finished hall bathroom. If you’re able to pry yourself away from this amazing home, you might enjoy a stroll or bike ride around this wonderful neighborhood. This home is also near to all the shopping and dining conveniences you could desire and is just a short drive to the Turnpike and other major roadways. The icing on the cake is that it is located in the top-rated Wissahickon school district, too. The sellers are including a 1-Year America's Preferred Home Warrranty-Buyer's Premier Coverage. **The deck was power washed and re-stained after the professional photos were taken**
