About This Home

As of November 2023

This could be your once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this custom 4-bedroom, 3 full and 2 half bath home in the coveted Fairway Estates community! This fabulous home is tucked away on a stunning 1.51 acre lot that offers the convenience of being in a development but provides a ton of privacy. A beautiful front walkway with lush landscaping welcomes you to the front door featuring a covered front porch. The elegant foyer has gleaming hardwood floors, double coat closet, powder room and is flanked by a large office on one side and a fantastic formal dining room on the other side. French doors lead you to the office with custom built in bookshelves and cabinetry and great views of the outside making work from home a breeze. The dining room boasts hardwood floors and a wine bar area and is the perfect spot for hosting dinner parties and celebratory holiday meals. Just steps away from the dining room, you won't mind preparing meals in the generously sized kitchen with high-end appliances, tile floors, granite counter, tile backsplash and huge pantry. There is a large island with seating, pendant lighting and built-ins for all your cookbooks. The kitchen has an opening to the sunny breakfast room so the chef in the family won't feel left out while cooking family meals. This room has wall of windows and door leading to an outside oasis. Next to and open to the kitchen is the stunning two-story family room showcasing a ton of windows for natural light and a fantastic stone fireplace. This room is breathtaking and the place you will likely spend the majority of your time. A wonderful bar/music/lounge room with high ceilings is great space for entertaining. If you are in need of a first floor primary bedroom this may be your lucky day. This sizable room has a walk in closet and en suite bathroom with double sink, stall shower and soaking tub. One of the most unique features of this room is the private patio accessed via sliding door-what a serene spot for morning coffee! A laundry/mud room with access to the oversized 2 car garage complete the first floor. The second floor boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, loft area and storage. All of the bedrooms are a good size and feature great closet space. One bedroom has an en suite bath and the other bedrooms share the second bath. There is a loft area that was previously used as a play room, second office and kids homework area. An unfinished attic space offers a ton of easy access storage and potential for additional space if needed. The lower level of the home is an entertainer’s delight. This space can be whatever you dream it to be and is currently set up with a media area, fitness studio, game room, billiards area with counter and bar fridge, an enormous unfinished/storage area and an outside entrance. A powder room completes this level. Now, let’s talk about the backyard. The exterior of this home is just as nice as the interior and offers a large private yard with mature plantings, trees and a shed. Two separate patio areas are just a few steps away from the breakfast room and both offer wonderful space for entertaining outdoors, al fresco dining, or just relaxing with your favorite beverage. The well-manicured lawn has plenty of space for a swing set or playing ball. This home has so many incredible features but the best one is that it is not a cookie cutter home! The roof lines, interior spaces and ceiling heights have to be seen to truly be appreciated. You will not find this home anywhere else! Finally, the location is unbeatable. It is just a short drive to 309, the PA turnpike, the train, downtown Ambler, golf clubs, a library, local schools, and countless dining and shopping options. All this and in Horsham School District too. HURRY!!!
