There are homes that everyone wants to visit – homes where guests want to linger. They are the hubs for holidays, sleepovers, and Superbowl parties. This gracious colonial is one of those special homes! Flooded with natural light, and thoughtfully designed with warm sophistication, this is a home you will not want to leave. A wide and welcoming front porch leads inside to the foyer and center hall. All the rooms are so airy and bright! The quality of the light is one of this home’s particular strengths and it’s especially evident in the kitchen. The kitchen features the hardwood floors found throughout most of the home, expansive cabinetry painted in a complimentary neutral color, beautiful black honed granite countertops on the prep areas (including the farmhouse sink!), and a satin-finished veined granite on the large center island with casual seating. A six-burner commercial-style Wolf stove with griddle, top-of-the-line appliance package, and glass French doors to the sizable composite deck – this kitchen is truly the heart of the home. On one side of the kitchen is the formal dining room with carved crown molding which compliments the more minimal crown molding found in nearly every room. The living room with a lovely gas fireplace can be closed off for maximal coziness by closing the two sets of solid French doors. On the other side of the kitchen is the family room with a full-wall stone fireplace and mantle. From here is the sunporch, mudroom with cubbies, laundry room (complete with laundry chute from the second floor), and one of the two half baths. On the second floor, the standout is the primary bedroom suite. Soft light and those gorgeous hardwood floors combine superbly with the custom tile used in the sumptuous primary bath. Radiant heat, a custom-clad oversized shower, double sink with built-in furniture vanities, and an open hall of closets with organizers create a bedroom suite that is luxurious and, at the same time, accessible. The second bedroom is substantial and even has a full wall mirror and barre for your dancer (or your exercise room). Two additional bedrooms share an attractively appointed hall bath. The lower level finished basement has a bar in one corner, a pool table area in another, and a built-in media center in the third! This is where the aforementioned Superbowl parties will take place. Additionally, there is a separate room that works well for an office, homework, or craft room. The second half bath completes this level. Outdoors is where it gets really special! The rear composite deck, big enough for an outdoor kitchen and plenty of seating, steps down to the concrete patio surrounding the sparkling inground pool. There's an outdoor shower wonderfully hidden in plantings nearby. Off to the side is the gazebo and a beautiful circular firepit area – a really special area to enjoy! The crisp fall nights are the perfect time to enjoy this cozy spot strung with Edison lights. Just behind is the sweet studio. A cathedral ceiling with transom and double-hung windows makes the perfect space for an outdoor office, art space, exercise, or reading room. The rest of the lot is equally stunning. Beyond the fully fenced pool and deer fence (to protect your plantings) are the lush rear lawns. The large front yard is dotted with mature trees and low-maintenance plantings and it slops gently to the private fence blocking the view from the street. A curved paved driveway also has a circular gravel area and can park about 12 cars – which will come in handy. All of this in the Central Bucks School District!
