Property Description
This is a unique and amazing property perched high on a hill above the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek. Sitting on 1 ac this wooded lot presents gorgeous water views and a wooded lot with no grass to mow! The property is completely surrounded by park land. There are walking trails that take you through the woods and down to the creek side. Slip your kayaks right in the water from the far side of the 2 car garage. The detached garage is built on the remnants of a historic stone bridge that used to cross the creek. Park your car and meander on to the fieldstone driveway and follow the wide stone & paver driveway leading to the stately newer double door entrance. The home opens to a living room with a large field stone fireplace, and warm autumn toned Saltillo tile flooring. The living room has stairs leading both up and down to other levels of the home. The upstairs main level is an open concept with large family room, kitchen, dining and wet bar. The light filled kitchen presents beautiful white wood cabinetry with contrasting black hardware, stainless steel deep sink and soft under cabinet lighting. The wet bar, with 2 intimate bar stools and soft pendant lights overhead is trimmed in slate tile of warm grays and earth tones which continues through the backsplash areas. Spacious granite counters offer plenty of room for your coffee/cappuccino station and are complimented with stainless steel appliances. French doors off the kitchen lead to a large wood deck overlooking the creek and offering amazing views and glimpses of wildlife! A second set of French doors on the main level lead to a bedroom/guest room and en suite bath with jetted tub and hand-held shower. The closets were removed and replaced with standing shelves but can be converted back. This level has handsome hardwood floors and a wall of large windows that overlook the creek and wooded park land. Another set of stairs from the main floor takes you to the loft bedroom that also boasts hardwood floors and includes a cedar lined walk-in closet with organizers. The en suite bath is spacious with skylight, tiled stall shower with river rock shower floor. Heading back down to the 1st floor living room take the stairs to the renovated lower level. What amazing flex space this provides! The concrete floor has a fresh coat of paint. The stone and stucco pillars, the wall of windows with creek and park land views enhance the atmosphere of this space. This flex space would make a great art studio, music room, game room, personal gym, office space, etc! In addition to this flex space on the lower level you will find what was previously the 3rd bedroom which has been turned into a rustic office with a ceiling of reclaimed barn boards , barn board and masonry walls and distressed concrete flooring. in the office head out the French doors that lead lower level deck space and a walkway around the house back down to the garage area. Custom made barn board doors take you to more storage and a laundry/utility area with exposed rock from the hill on which this home sits. The rock formation is like a beautiful one -of- a- kind piece of art! The utility room stores the HVAC system, tankless water heater, water softener and the Generac propane fueled back up generator panel! A gravel walkway leads to stone stairs that climb the hill to the private woods that can be landscaped or left natural. The owners have used this space for activities like horseshoes and golf pitching. At the top of these stairs you will find a woodshed and fenced propane tank both constructed from reclaimed wood. This area of the property borders acres and acres of park land. On this side of the house you will find the Generac Generator for the home. This home has been lovingly and creatively renovated from top to bottom by the current owners. You will not be disappointed in the quality of upgrades and the artistic improvements that make this home stand apart! See Virtual Tour!
