Property Description
A Taste of Tuscany in Fort Washington! A long, fenced and tree-lined driveway winds to this charming European-influenced Tuscan-style villa with tiled roof, designed by the renowned architectural firm of Willing, Sims and Talbutt, with walls of windows in every room intentionally designed to provide sunny, Southern exposure thru-out. Blending architecture with nature, this gardener's dream home offers stunning views of continually flowering trees and shrubs, multiple planting beds, and tiered flagstone terraces overlooking the heated pool. Positioned majestically above the Wissahickon Creek, the property borders Fort Washington State Park. The front courtyard provides 2 entrances to the interior, with the primary entrance offering an exciting front-to-back view of the exterior grounds. Hardwood floors thru-out, rounded walls, high ceilings and stunning architectural details fill this home with character. A circular receiving room opens to the gorgeous Living Room with 10' ceiling, the 1st of 3 fireplaces, featuring a wall of French doors opening to the exterior. A connecting Sun Room w/palladium window has its own delightful private patio. The spacious Dining Room with 2nd fireplace and extra-high ceiling also provides a wall of French doors to the exterior and connects to the terrific chef's Kitchen w/butcher block center island, corian counters, commercial range and brand new Viking stainless dishwasher. The Den provides a back staircase to the 2nd floor plus a door opening to the front courtyard. The 2nd floor features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths & 2nd floor Laundry Room, and a 2nd floor Mezzanine offers a private Master Suite with circular Sitting Room, 3rd fireplace & large Master Bath with skylight. The 3rd floor walk-up attic could be a fabulous playroom, office or 5th bedroom. The detached 2-car garage offers the ability to restore a full apartment w/bedroom, bath, kitchen & living room. The park-like rear yard features an expansive flagstone terrace with 2 awnings providing a breathtaking view of the pool & sweeping grounds. Minutes from the towns of Ambler & Chestnut Hill, great shopping in Flourtown, Ft. Washington State Park & multiple train stations. 1 Year Home Warranty included. This is a very special place to call home!
