About This Home

As of September 2020

Nestled in the Preserve at Worcester community, located in the Methacton School District, this home embodies the perfect blend of luxury, technology, and warmth. Only 5 years old, this Smart Home is powered by Control 4 technology, which controls lights, heat, security, sound, and connected TVs through the modules and the mobile app. Neighbors include the Blue Bell Country Club and a private farm at the rear of the home. The exterior of this home is hardy board material with brick and stone masonry - no stucco! Previously the "model home" when the community was first built by Toll Brothers, this 5-bedroom home has since been outfitted with customizations and upgrades throughout by the current owners. Some of these additions include the "endless" chemical-free pool and enclosure, solar panels on the roof, upgraded driveway to impermeable pavers, backyard landscape and hardscape with an irrigation system to drain excess rainwater, and many more unique improvements to make this home one of a kind. The gourmet kitchen made for a chef is outfitted with Jenn-Air appliances, marble counter tops, and Century cabinetry. Right off the kitchen is a large, walk in pantry/mudroom, also conveniently located next to the door leading to the heated 3-car garage with a Tesla charging port.From the large kitchen and eat-in area, you will find the family room decorated with intricate moldings and extra-large windows to allow sunlight to flood the space. The focal point of the family room is the gas fireplace framed with stone that reaches to the soaring, vaulted ceiling. Adjacent to the fireplace is a custom bookshelf with a rolling library ladder. This room evokes warmth and comfort, a perfect gathering place for friends and family. Off this main living area, is an additional bedroom, full bathroom, and walk-in closet. This space was previously used as an in-law suite but could also be the perfect office or private guest room quarters. The second floor of the home, accessible by two stair cases, includes 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms - one being a jack-and-jill bathroom connecting two of those bedrooms, a separate laundry room, and linen closet. The main bedroom includes two walk-in closets and a separate seating area with a built-in bookshelf and sliding library ladder. The on-suite bathroom has two separate vanities, a soaking tub and an extra-large shower stall with multi-jets. French doors from the kitchen lead to the custom-built pool house - this pool enclosure is surrounded by sliding doors and complete with a separate HVAC mini-split. The 5.5 foot deep "endless" pool has a chlorine and salt-free system, a jet system to do laps, and is also a jacuzzi. The cover is motor-operated. Entertaining is made even easier with the built-in grill close by. From the rear yard, there is a separate entrance to the full finished basement (which is also accessed through the interior stairs). The basement showcases large entertainment areas and a custom bar area, including wine racks, coolers and a beer tap. A separate, closed-off area remains unfinished with ample room for storage. A few extra special touches in this home include: a home humidifier, Bose sound system throughout, all closets in the home have been upgraded with California Closets, and the chandelier in the front foyer is electronically powered so it can be easily lowered for cleaning and maintenance. If you've dreamed of a home that takes care of everything for you, you've found the one!
