A magnificent custom-built stone and cedar residence with acreage
and a private lake, in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Entirely
custom-designed and built for the current owners, the residence is nicely positioned
in a peaceful, private, and tranquil setting –
tucked onto a wide knoll at the edge of a deep stand of mature
woodlands, and overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds and
a spring-fed private lake.
The residence was designed and built with meticulous attention
to quality and detail, and virtually no expense was spared in
its design or construction.
Windows, skylights, fireplaces, and interior spaces are designed
to create comfortable, liveable, inviting, sun-drenched
spaces, and to offer an easy, natural flow from level to level
and from room to room. As a result, the residence is exceptionally
well-suited to entertaining, and has accomodated many formal and
informal gatherings.
Interior spaces include a formal living room with fireplace, formal
dining room, library with fireplace, a sun-filled sunken family room with fireplace
and soaring cathedral ceiling, a beautiful solarium, a 'florida room' with changing rooms and outside entrance to a custom built pool,
spa, and stone terrace, a large master bedroom suite with a fireplace
and marble bath; three additional bedrooms, two
additional full baths, and three half baths. Custom cabinetry,
millwork, and mouldings are found throughout.
The kitchen is well-designed and equipped for gourmet chefs,
and, includes a full complement of professional-grade appliances,
including Dacor, Thermador, Bosch, and SubZero. Custom cabinetry,
millwork, and a bright, sunny exposure combine to create a
functional, inviting space.
A fully separate apartment -- ideal for guests, in-laws,
an au-pair, teenager, or college-age child -- has been built
above the 4-car garage. A finished lower level with a fully-equipped
gym, media room, and home office is also included.
The residence is beautifully appointed, has been meticulously
well-maintained, and is in absolute move-in condition.
Grounds have been professionally landscaped, have been similarly
well and beautifully maintained, and include a circuar driveway,
custom designed pool with year-round spa, spring-fed lake, fencing,
and more.
Topography and natural features of the land are such that the
potential exists for subdivision of the eastern portion of the
property into two or more additional building lots; these lots
would be largely invisible from the residence – a very rare
find, and potentially, a significant source of underlying value.
Shown by private appointment only.
