About This Home

As of September 2015

This custom built home in Forest Ridge offers you an opportunity to have a very unique floor plan! When you step into this home, it sets off the "Wow factor" for you & your guests! Start off by walking in the front door to a 17 x 15 Foyer. The entire first floor has cherry hardwoods & lots of crown molding. There's a formal living room, an office, laundry room, powder room, "back foyer", family room with brick gas-burning fireplace & then there's the "KITCHEN". This custom kitchen has been designed & created to please the most particular. The granite counter-tops pull all the warm tones together in this space. A section of the cabinets light up to showcase your treasures & the fireplace provides not only the warmth but the ambiance. This is truly a kitchen to explore all the perks it has to offer; even the pillars on both sides of the cook-top secretly slide out, where you'll find your spice racks. This 20' x 26' kitchen even has a dry bar with wine fridge & an area for pre-dinner cocktails. The entire upper level has oak hardwood floors. The master bedroom area includes a His & Hers walk-in closets, each with their own organized systems. The master bath is 11' x 12' & has built-in cabinetry with 2 separate sink & vanity areas. The upper level offers 3 more bedrooms highlighting over-sized closet space in each. The one facing the back yard even has window seating. The 2nd full bath has been recently tiled & updated as well. The basement has been completely finished & includes a thermostatically controlled pellet stove. Heating costs? It's hard to believe but between Nov. 2014 to April 2015 the heating bills totaled $1,053.....that's it !!!! This home was built with 2' x 6' construction & a superior insulation system. The attached 2 1/2 car garage offers space for a "work room". There's a detached shed/garage that measures 20' x 18' & is on a permanent foundation. The pavor patio is large enough to entertain. The property is wooded & even has a location for a camp fire. This is located in the desirable Forest Ridge development, where all homes are in a secluded, wooded environment, yet are conveniently located between Allentown & Reading.
