1704 Larue Ln

Excellent craftsmanship and elegant design are ageless. Although this lovely property may feature décor popular in previous years, the essential components and remodeling choices are enduring. In our modern world where artistry is often sacrificed on the altar of speed, it is easy to recognize the expert construction and artisan flourishes that went into the building of this home. Wide neighborhood streets with sidewalks to stroll on bring you to the home’s welcoming front entrance. Meticulously maintained, the low maintenance exterior and thoughtful landscaping are your first indication of the property's decades of care. The entrance is a formal, dramatic, two story foyer with fantastic wrought iron detail. The wrought iron defines the space while keeping it light and airy. Though nearly fully carpeted the best surprise is that there are wood floors underneath the carpets on the main and upper floors! A little work will yield fantastic results. The same is true throughout this home, which is the very definition of “sweat equity”. Truly spacious rooms, natural light, cross breezes, and wonderful closet space are features that can’t be added without great expense. This home starts with all of those features and adds even more! A big picture window in the living room, a sparkling crystal chandelier in the formal dining room, and a well-designed remodeled kitchen! Recessed lights and skylights flood the room with natural light and the kitchen floorplan is efficient and designed for maximum usability. The breakfast room features both sideboard and display cabinets. A few steps down is the family room with a full wall of brick fireplace surround with a full-length mantle. Is there anything more cozy than a woodburning fireplace? Glass doors open to the fully fenced rear yard. On this same floor is a half bath, a large laundry room with a separate side entrance, and the access door to the two-car garage. On the second floor the primary suite is a terrific feature for a home of this age! A dressing area with vanity brings you to the newly remodeled ensuite bath with a contemporary vanity and custom tiled, frameless glass-enclosed, stall shower. Two more bedrooms on this level share the hallway bath. Up a couple of steps is the bedroom everyone will argue over. Set off by itself, with two walk-in closets, it has a spacious and private feel. The full basement was professionally waterproofed and there is a newer hot water tank. Let’s head back outside to the rear yard with a stockade fence and mature arbor hedge providing wonderful privacy. A large concrete patio is sheltered by the retractable awning and there is an additional cement patio area surrounding the organically shaped inground pool. There is also a sweet garden shed. All of this in Central Bucks School District!
