About This Home

As of June 2016

*1 Yr. Home Warranty! * Escape in the Woodlands of "Wits End"...You're Own Private Retreat on 28 Acres! Wildlife & Nature Surrounds...the minute you start down the driveway all your stress starts to melt away. A long private driveway leads to the house surrounded by over an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens home to hummingbirds, butterflies and a vast array of bird species. The pristine land is a natural wildlife habitat to deer, wild turkey and much more. Hiking trails take you through the woods, past the springhouse and along the creek. Adjacent to the attached garage is a large fire pit and next to the 12,000 gallon heated pool is a charming garden glen perfect for summer parties, plus wrap around entertaining deck with multiple access points from the house. There's a new garden shed for all your gardening and potting needs. A quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of business/city life yet only 1 hour from Philly & Harrisburg and 2 hours from NYC & DC. Harmonizing Contemporary...a beautifully upgraded property that blends so naturally with the woodland environment. Large windows capture and frame the tranquil setting bringing the outdoors inside! Open design with soaring cathedral ceilings in the rear of home encompassing the living room and dining with loft views from the upper level. Stunning double-sided gas fireplace with raised brick hearth appreciated from all main level rooms. Oversized kitchen bestows custom wood cabinets with birds-eye maple inlay doors. There is an abundance amount of storage, including the adjacent mudroom with large walk-in pantry. Walk-out lower level features a family room with new wood pellet stove capable of heating the whole house!
