Set on a full acre in Connoquenessing Township, this custom-built home offers an exceptional combination of thoughtful design, quality construction, flexible living space and beautifully established gardens. Built in 2002 and located within the Butler Area School District, the home features two spacious bedroom suites, two full baths, a private den, bonus room, full basement and oversized attached garage, all surrounded by a property planted with hundreds of carefully selected specimens that provide changing color and interest throughout the seasons.
A deep covered front porch welcomes you inside, where white oak flooring begins in the foyer and continues throughout the main living areas. Just off the entry, glass doors open to a private den featuring a wood-burning fireplace, built-in cabinetry and a bay window, creating an ideal home office, library or quiet retreat.
The kitchen combines custom craftsmanship with everyday function, featuring Craft Made cabinetry with extensive roll-out shelving, matching pantry storage, stainless appliances and generous workspace. Pocket doors allow the kitchen to be opened to surrounding spaces or closed when desired, while the adjoining eat-in area comfortably accommodates a full table beneath a dramatic ceiling that opens to the upper level.
Continue into the impressive great room, where post-and-beam ceiling details, large-blade ceiling fans and a second wood-burning fireplace create warmth and architectural character. French doors with screens open directly to the gardens, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors.
The main-level primary suite is privately positioned with multiple windows overlooking the surrounding plantings, a walk-in closet and solid-core doors for added privacy. Its full bath features a separate shower and a thoughtfully designed configuration allowing the bath to remain private to the suite or accessible for guests.
Upstairs, the generously sized second suite provides another private retreat with a full-height walk-in closet and an expansive ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, jetted tub and separate shower. Original plans for converting additional upper-level space into another bedroom convey with the property, offering possibilities for future customization.
Additional main-level space includes a versatile bonus room with extensive built-in cabinetry, dedicated ductwork and nearby electrical capacity—ideal for hobbies, a library, workshop or dual home offices. The adjoining mudroom/laundry creates a practical transition from the garage to the kitchen and offers direct exterior access. An oversized two-car garage features 10-foot ceilings, built-in storage, windows, attic access and a separate door to the rear yard.
The full basement provides substantial additional potential with drywall already in place, exposed ceilings, extensive storage and access to a walk-in crawl space beneath the bonus room. Major systems include a high-efficiency Rheem furnace, central air, commercial-grade A.O. Smith electric water heater, water softener and a Kohler whole-house propane generator with full transfer panel. Public water, sand mound septic, fiber internet, oversized gutters with metal guards and storm drainage add further functionality.
Outside, the acre becomes a destination of its own. Japanese maples, Siberian iris, hydrangeas, Scentlandia itea, viburnum, azalea, astilbe, black gum, bald cypress, oak, maple, birch, hemlock and layers of flowering perennials and ground cover create a landscape designed for successive seasonal interest. A 2025 survey confirmed the property boundaries against the original records, with corner pins set and visible.
From the solid-core doors and Andersen casement windows to the custom cabinetry, white oak floors, post-and-beam details and two wood-burning fireplaces, this is a home where craftsmanship, function and its remarkable garden setting come together beautifully.
