Description

Lovingly maintained by its original owners since it was custom built in 1985 by Sal Paone, this custom ranch offers a refined blend of privacy, thoughtful updates, and resort-style outdoor living. Set on a corner lot with a circular driveway and beautifully maintained grounds, this 4-bed, 5.5-bath residence delivers more than 3,000 square feet of living space with a layout that has been expanded over time.From the level entry, the home opens into an elegant and well-kept interior where wood floors, generous windows, and a graceful floor plan set the tone. The formal living and dining room combination overlooks the rear grounds, creating a serene backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen remodeled 3 years ago. Designed with both beauty and function in mind, it features crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel WiFi-connected appliances, including a GE refrigerator with water dispenser, beverage refrigerator, and GE electric induction cooking, along with a large island with seating, eat-in table space, bar and wine storage, multiple prep zones, pantry cabinets, and sweeping views of the backyard. The kitchen connects naturally to the expanded living spaces, giving the home an effortless sense of flow.Just off the kitchen, the first family room features a brick gas fireplace with mantle, plantation shutters, and a comfortable connection to the kitchen. The first addition offers a large family room with radiant heat tile floors, exterior access, TV space, and abundant windows. A second living area creates a sunroom experience with rich wood ceiling details and an inviting indoor-outdoor feel that adds to the home’s custom appeal. The bedroom layout is equally thoughtful. Three bedrooms are positioned off the main living area, including a spacious primary suite with thoughtful details such as light switches near the bed and remote window shades, along with a walk-in closet and access to the deck. The spa-style primary bathroom, updated in 2018, features radiant heated floors, an automated fan, a large rain shower, and a neutral gray design. A second bedroom includes a custom updated ensuite bath with designer details, a wide doorway, a Toto toilet, an English designer-grade butterfly sink, and an oversized shower with one-step entry. This bedroom also includes a mini-split system for added heating and cooling. The third bedroom offers great closet space. A newly updated 2024 laundry room with Electrolux washer and dryer, cabinetry for storage, and an updated neutral gray bathroom from 2018 with tub/shower complete the first floor.Upstairs, the fourth bedroom suite includes a cozy seating area, walk-in closet, and full bath, offering a private and versatile retreat for a guest room or in-law suite. The finished basement further extends the versatility of the home with more living space, a full bath, office, recreation area, cedar closet, workshop, and storage. The 2-car garage includes a mini-split HVAC system and a professional golf simulator setup, allowing for year-round use. A whole-house generator provides uninterrupted comfort and peace of mind by powering the entire home during outages. The backyard is the showstopping feature of this home and has been the centerpiece of family gatherings for many years. It offers a private resort-style setting with a fenced yard, privacy hedges, grassy lawn with playground, heated in-ground pool, hot tub, Trex deck, fire pit, and pavilion with a 55-inch weatherproof television. Together, these amenities create a true backyard retreat for relaxing, entertaining, and making lasting memories. The stucco was replaced 8 years ago, and the home has benefited from multiple additions and updates over the years. Served by the Upper Dublin School District and located near the PA Turnpike, trains to Philadelphia, and Dreshertown Plaza, this elegant custom ranch offers a rare blend of privacy, comfort and flexible living spaces.
