About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to 479 Herald Drive, tucked into one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods, Squires Knoll. This beautifully updated home combines classic colonial feel with modern upgrades and a stunning in-ground pool just in time for summer relaxation and entertaining.

A charming front porch sets the tone as you step into an inviting open foyer, flanked by a formal living room and a spacious dining room that’s perfect for gatherings. Rich oak hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. At the heart of the home is a light-filled, open-concept kitchen and family room. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, and an oversized pantry and dry bar for plenty of storage. The adjoining family room with wood burning fireplace offers the ideal space to relax or entertain, all with views of your private backyard oasis. A convenient mudroom with main-level laundry, nicely appointed half bath and access to the attached two-car garage, round out the first floor’s functional layout.

Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, two large closets, and a gorgeous spa-inspired en-suite bath that was just renovated with a double vanity, soaking tub and a tiled walk-in shower. There’s also a sitting area that would make a great office space. Three additional bedrooms offer generous closet space and share a beautifully renovated hall bath with a quartz-topped double vanity and beautiful tile work.

The fully finished basement adds even more living space, complete with a cozy shiplap-accented electric fireplace, a custom stone bar, and a separate gym or bonus room. The fireplace has an existing gas line in place for those wishing to easily convert it. There’s an added half bath for convenience and additional unfinished areas provide ample storage.

Outdoors, enjoy your own slice of paradise with a large paver patio, sparkling in-ground pool and a beautifully landscaped backyard, perfect for summer lounging or entertaining under the stars.
Move-in ready and meticulously maintained, this home is a rare opportunity in a quiet community. Set in a convenient location that is connected to the Horsham Power Line Trail and has easy access to Cedar Hill Park and the sports fields. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a true gem in Squires Knoll.
