About This Home
As of September 2017If you love the charm and character of older homes yet desire the modern luxuries of today, this exquisite 5 bedroom 4.5 bath stone Center Hall Colonial has the perfect blend. The classic architecture, beautiful stonework and meticulously-manicured property make a timeless impression. Step inside and be greeted by a gracious entry foyer showcasing the rich wide-paneled random-width hardwood floors, tasteful crown molding and wainscoting that adorns much of the main level. Fantastic upgrades include a 3-story addition creating a huge family room with a plentitude of custom Pella windows matching the originals, a 2-sided fireplace encased in stone, and glass doors leading out to the breathtaking slate patio. The gorgeous master suite built out above it is just as exceptional with its Pella picture windows, opulent bathroom, huge walk-in closet and large separate living room with an additional full bath. The thoughtful addition also yielded a 3rd floor master bedroom suite with a spacious closet and homework center. Hosting guests is seamless with formal living and dining rooms on either side of the foyer. Gather around the living room's wonderful double-sided gas fireplace with custom surround (shared by the family room), enjoying conversation while admiring the fine woodwork details. Serve meals in the lovely wainscoted dining room brightened by triple windows, offering a built-in curio for your china. French doors lead to a covered side porch with Mexican tile which accommodates indoor-outdoor entertaining. The light-filled gourmet kitchen is a haven for the chef and a great hang-out spot for the family. Custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an oversized built-in custom refrigerator adorn this cherished room. A den off the living room with built-in bookshelves and bay window provides a quiet escape. Powder and laundry rooms complete the main level. Above the 2-car stone garage, built to match the integrity of the home, is a flexible 2nd-floor studio with electricity. With this fantastic space plus 5,400+/- square feet in the magnificent main home, your possibilities and comfort are endless! Outdoor lighting enhances the ambience of the exterior grounds.
