About this House

Nestled on a hillside, this custom-built lakeside Tuscan style property is one of a kind. With over 5500 sq. ft. this open floor plan will make living and entertaining a dream. As you approach the front door you will smile as you walk through the concrete paver courtyard complete with European working fountain. Once inside you will find no-expense has been spared in the presentation of this model property. As you pass through the foyer with its alabaster chandelier and wall sconces, notice a vaulted barrel ceiling leading you into the back of the house with more than generous living room and dining room areas each having a full exposure of all four seasons on the lake. Observe the tray ceiling in the dining room and kitchen with a vaulted ceiling in the living room. Enjoy a relaxing night at home in front of your wood burning fireplace. Turning to the right any gourmet cook (or gourmet wanna-be) will feel at home in this well appointed gourmet kitchen. Beautiful custom kitchen cabinets surround the room with granite countertops and large kitchen island. Imagine the dinners you can create on your 36' Wolf dual fuel range. Need a cold drink? No problem as there is a sub-zero refrigerator and a 2 drawer sub-zero unit for your convenience. If you are in a hurry there is a Sharp Insight Pro under the counter drawer microwave. Price Pfister kitchen faucets show off your enameled cast iron sinks. The master suite on the first floor is huge with a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, a large walk-in closet with custom shelving units. Of course you will wake up every morning viewing the lake as each season changes. The master bath is perfect as it comes complete with Kohler one piece toilet, faucets, 6' vanity and bay window over the soaking tub. Of course Honed Marble runs throughout. Don't forget to check out the home office with its coffered ceiling. Entertaining is a breeze as you enter a 43x27 foot family room with a full horseshoe shaped bar. Throw open the wall of doors and take the party outside onto the patio running the length of the house. Behind the bar you'll find all commercial equipment including an under counter display cooler, ice machine with filter system, Vinotemp wine cooler and ice storage chest. Relax and catch up with your favorite tv shows and movies. And don't worry about wearing your slippers as there is a heat element under the 20' porcelain tile floor. Passing through the family room check out the second master bedroom, the wine room with its arched brick entrance and billiard room which includes a pool table, all accessories and wall mounted tv. Finally, walk outside and tour the separate apartment /in-law suite. You can use this for space or additional income as a rental/Airbnb. Beautiful kitchen cabinets with granite countertops grace the kitchen. There is custom built cabinetry in the living room and a bay window in the dining room, bedroom comes complete with walk-in closet, California shutters, master bath with walk-in shower and maple hardwood flooring throughout. There is still so much to see that has not been included in these remarks. If you are interested in a one of a kind, custom built, Tuscan style home that defies the norm make your appointment today. You will not regret it. 2021-11-11

    "Easy access to 95 and route 1. Nearby stores within a 5 mile radius in both directions. Appo School district is preferred for most. Our Neighborhood is tucked back away from any main roads. Traffic is non existent and neighborhood is quiet. Traveling to local restaurants and entertainment is easy and within ten minutes. Commute to PHILADELPHIA and airport is approximately one hour. Traveling during summer travel and holiday weekends is painful on 95 and surrounding roads with influx and outflux of people traveling. "
