Beautiful In-Law Suite! Down a stately tree-lined drive tucked away in the highly sought after and picturesque Charter Oaks neighborhood of Upper Gwynedd is where you will find and fall in love with this beautiful and impeccably maintained home and its ADA compliant in-law suite. This move-in ready colonial has been updated, improved, and added to in ways that are thoughtful, detail oriented, and well appointed. The home's two-story foyer with grand chandelier is flanked by a formal dining room and spacious office with two sets of glass paned French doors, one which connects to the in-law suite. Coat closets on either side of the main entrance add to the foyer's architecture, while extensive custom millwork throughout the home add beauty, enriching every space. The home's open floor plan provides a great space for sophisticated entertaining. The heart of every home is its kitchen so great care and attention was invested in the design and recent installation of the chef's kitchen. The two-tiered center island with its striking granite countertops provides seating for four, discreetly hidden plugs, a built-in wine rack, pull out cutting board, bread drawer, pull-out shelves and full extension drawers all with soft close. Two-tone cabinets, an intricate tile backsplash, hand scraped hardwood flooring, pendant lights, and composite granite sink with touch faucet pull the kitchen's design together. With stainless steel Bosch appliances, cooking will become a dream come true. At one end of the kitchen is a pocket door to a laundry room with cabinets, sink and outside access to the deck. Opposite that is the inside access to the garage, featuring a retractable screen door and spacious two-car garage with built-in shelving. The eat-in kitchen has Andersen brand French doors with retractable screens that open to an expansive composite deck with cedar railings, gates, exterior lighting and low voltage lit stairs. A great space for living outside and entertaining guests is made even better with a large paver patio just off of the deck. The fenced-in, private, and shady backyard features a paver path that seamlessly and conveniently connects the driveway to the in-law suite's Andersen French doors. A pair of 8 ft. wide gates give access to each end of the fenced-in backyard, including a second stone private driveway. The vaulted great room with all of its windows and gas fireplace is the home's center and connects the main house to the in-law suite. The attractive, well appointed in-law suite is sunny and cheerful, offering views of the yard on all sides. The in-law suite's living room, eat-in kitchen, master bedroom, walk-in closet, and ADA compliant bathroom with dual vanity make for a home within a home. The second floor's open walkway connects five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Enter the master suite and you'll discover an elegant retreat with a vaulted ceiling, sitting room, and large walk-in closet. The spacious master bathroom is sunny and bright with a skylight and updated vanity. Three large bedrooms share a hall bathroom while the fifth bedroom could be considered a third master bedroom. It has its own tastefully decorated bathroom and a large closet. Lastly, the unfinished basement offers endless possibilities for future recreation or entertaining space, extra storage, and offers a 13ft x 19ft workshop with Bilco doors leading up to the driveway. The home features an efficient tankless water heater and 2 zones for both the heat and air-conditioning. A new gas furnace was installed approx. 2 years ago and one of the air conditioning compressors was installed approx. four years ago. All but two of the windows in the home have been recently replaced. A conveniently located home like this with an in-law suite, in a quiet established neighborhood, within an award winning school district does not come along every day. Minutes away from Merck, major highways, PA Turnpike, shopping & dining. Http://bit.ly/VirtualTour813FultonAve
