On Shimmering Stream! No "golden pond" needed--the crystal creek waters dance by the entrancing gazebo in a bewitching, bubble symphony. The captivating lilt of songbirds floating on a summer breeze adds to music of nature that enfolds the secluded 1.3 acre home site. Scarlet Tanagers, Baltimore Orioles, Blue Herons, Bluebirds, Cardinals, Robins, Hummingbirds and even an elusive Eagle decorate the everchanging view-scape with brilliant slashes of color on the rich green backdrop of trees and plantings. Sun-dappled leaves, seem to glisten with faerie dust as they shade the resting benches dotting the grounds. A gracious front porch, spacious patio and rear upper deck all invite you to linger and surround yourself in nature's ambiance. Saunter up the leprechaun's meandering path to the hillside, window-front "Play Cabin". While lovely for child's imaginative play, adults will love enjoying a beverage while snugly relaxing to the warm summer song of a rain drop serenade or the cool chorus of your favorite tunes. The comfortable, stone and frame colonial is designed for the home site, with expansive front yard to the stream, tree-embraced side yards and a cozy cocoon behind with the wooded, hillside rear grounds. It is built in southern construction style with rear storage room space, laundry area and insulated utility room instead of a sub-surface basement. A large shed supplies excellent additional area to stow equipment. The covered front entry opens to reveal a charm-endowed interior that will capture your heart. A stalwart brick floor, a custom built-in nook, picture window and white brick fireplace highlight the appealing dining room. The brick floor continues into the efficient kitchen with custom, built-in, wood hutch cabinet and deep picture window with fine, hand crafted wood trim. The kitchen opens to the main floor unfinished storage room, laundry area and insulated utility room as well as the covered patio room--just begging for outdoor dining even when raining! The large patio opens from this space and joins the stone and frame oversized one car garage/work area with storage above. The living room and family room resound with the song of life! Comfort, conversation and enjoyment await the living room is finely adorned with wood floors, built-ins, ceiling beams and fireplace. Step up to the ample family room with vaulted, sky-lit ceiling and rear stairs leading to the 2nd floor (the main staircase ascends from the dining room/entry area.) The master bedroom offers serene, neutral decor, large closet and en-suite powder room (formally a full bath). Continue down the hall to a cheerful hall bath and two more large bedrooms with wood floors. Pull-down stairs access the attic storage for more storage. An entrance from this level opens to the roomy rear deck and tranquil treed views. Accessible nearby trails like Struble, Uwchlan, Harmony Hill and Marsh Creek add walking/running/bicycling fun.
