Description

Unbelievable Opportunity To Purchase A Truly Exceptional Home & Property In Echo Valley! Ask for 3-D & Video Tour! While built in 1996, this home was ahead of its time and with fresh paint throughout plus updated lighting, it is unlike any other presented on the market today! It has generous room sizes, high ceilings, an abundance of closets, and an open layout that is ready for you to add your personal touch- in fact, you’ll see some virtually remodeled pictures to give you an idea of what this space could become. Sitting a good distance off the road, you will first notice the well manicured and specimen-landscaped exterior with lawn irrigation. An enlarged driveway allows for parking of 10+ cars and plenty of turn around space. As you enter through your covered porch, you will step into an exquisite 2-story foyer with exposed railing and open views of the first floor. On one side is a room which can be utilized as a study or formal living room and to the other is an oversized dining room- the perfect destination for your holiday entertaining. A full bathroom is off the hallway, which means you could easily convert the study into a bedroom if that better suits your needs. The rear of the home is simply stunning! You and your guests will admire the wall of windows which showcases the beauty of this 1.5+ acre property. The gathering room with fireplace is more than ample for even the largest entertainer’s needs, opening to a rear foyer area that highlights access to the exterior. Opposite this room is the kitchen- a highly functional space as it stands now with stainless steel appliances and granite counters. If you’ve got an imagination, you can see this space lends itself very well to the gourmet kitchen you have had your heart set on, with views overlooking the yard. A powder room is situated down the hall as well as access to your oversized 2-car garage with extra storage. On the rear of the home is a screened-in porch, also of generous size, that leads out to the deck. Plan to relax here and listen to the sounds of the babbling brook, or perhaps peek out to see the majestic trail of water and rolling hill in the background. Privacy abounds and you’ll likely find deer and birds in abundance! Do not forget about your in-ground pool! This, too, is a great space where you can relax and look out while taking in some rays. Back inside the home, go up the front or rear staircase to the main bedroom suite, where you can leave the balcony door open and fall asleep to the sound of the brook at night. The existing bathroom features a jetted soaking tub and luxurious steam shower. Down the hall is an additional bedroom and also a well-sized hall bathroom. A large room on this level is currently being used as the laundry room, but could also be turned into a 5th bedroom. The other wing has 2 bedrooms that share a hall bathroom. Go up the steps to the floored attic which is fantastic for storage, but could also become finished space as it is wired with electrical and hvac ductwork in place. Why not turn it onto a guest suite, office, bonus room- the choices are endless! The finished lower level is the footprint of the house and features a storage area, a school-themed playroom (which could be turned into an elaborate home gym), and a massive entertaining area complete with wet bar! The ceilings here are high as well, making this very attractive space. Access the rear yard through sliding glass doors to a paver patio and take in the nature that abounds. This truly magnificent home features: gas (propane) heat, tap for public sewer connection, 2- 200 amp panels, new water heaters, Anderson windows, whole-house fire protection system, extra thick walls for supreme soundproofing, and a winning location. Situated in the Marple Newtown School District with easy access to all major commuter routes and shopping, you will also have quick access to Center City for its cultural attractions and events.
