Opportunity knocks as this original Somerton Valley Townhouse owner is retiring to NJ! This beautifully maintained, bright & sunny 12-year old End Unit has so much more than meets the eye! The design of these Ryland homes provide spacious living embellished with today’s most desirable amenities. This particular home was built with an extension to all three floors, making this the largest of the Somerton Valley homes. This house also benefits from over $80,000 of 2013-ordered upgrades, many of which are not readily discernible. Classic hardwood floors make the initial impression when entering the foyer. The first of two staircases is on the right, while ahead lies the nearly 400 sq ft Family Room, convenient Powder Room and sliders to the backyard patio. Ample storage is found here - in the double coat closet, behind the staircases and inside the oversized garage. Peaceful quiet abides on the paver patio (10 x 8) beyond the sliding glass doors and into the woods beyond. The main living level above is an open-concept area. 9-foot ceilings enhance the feeling from the clear-span visuals that the Living Room (650?! sq ft), Kitchen and Dining area comprise. Significant features here include a large front bay window, the gas-fired marble-surround fireplace, coat & pantry closets, a Powder Room and an array of lighting: recessed, undercounter, pendant and chandelier. Less noticeable are the added touches, like crown molding, 42-inch wall cabinets, satin nickel hardware, glass block backsplashes, farmhouse sink, Ogee edge Golden Persa granite counters, moisture-proof recessed bathroom lighting and comfortable efficient ceiling fans. Cooks enjoy the benefit from the abundance of storage, outlets, lighting and counterspace provided in this island Kitchen layout, where the cook and the company are always in open contact. Cookouts and relaxing in the backdrop of the green woods are viable most of the year on the low-maintenance, manufactured-wood deck (20 x 8), lit by newel-post solar tops with a gas line for direct grill hookup and electrified for added possibilities. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a convenient hall laundry with cabinets. The impressive I-don’t-want-to-leave Primary Bedroom suite features a vaulted ceiling with ceiling fan, walk-in and double closets and a four-piece Bathroom with separate commode, soaking tub, Ubatuba granite topped double sink and ample lighting. The Bedrooms both have double closets and ceiling fans. All closets have lighting that operates automatically. The just off the beaten path location is just minutes away from Linconia and Benjamin Rush State parks, shopping centers, dining and entertainment. Convenient access to major highways, SEPTA and Amtrak stations makes Center City Philadelphia just 30 minutes away. The many yet-to-be-discovered extras in this home offers an exceptionally easy, low-maintenance lifestyle. Don’t miss your chance to own this 3000+ sq ft move-in ready gem that this most convenient, charming community has to offer!
