Description

Architect Rene Hoffman and custom builder Parec Homes collaborated to create this phenomenal residence in a prime area of Lower Gwynedd. Offered for the first time, the house was designed to host family and friends with ease. Its floor plan achieves just the right balance of openness and defined living areas and flows very well for events large and small. Throughout are indicators of the quality and timelessness built into the property: substantial millwork and moldings, solid-wood interior doors, hand-scraped hardwood flooring, all-wood front and back staircases as well as construction materials and techniques. Its light-filled interior features a front-to-back center hall, tall windows and a few carefully selected antique items that have been repurposed to become interesting elements in various rooms. The cook+-+G+Gs kitchen is well designed and outfitted with a Thermador six-burner gas range with griddle, full-size Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a custom tile backsplash and an island with bar seating for guests who want to chit-chat with the chef. The casual dining area features a gas fireplace and exceptional natural light. A butler+-+G+Gs pantry with copper sink and faucet, Miele dishwasher and storage serves the dining room. Smartly designed, the kitchen is open to a sophisticated step-down family room with a wall of built-ins, a fireplace, a barrel-vaulted ceiling with cove lighting and French doors to a large patio with built-in grill. There are two powder rooms on the first floor. Extras in this part of the house include a built-in desk nook, a potting area with copper sink and faucet and a walk-in pantry, plus access to the heated three-car garage and a rear stairwell. The private quarters on the second floor include the gracious owner+-+G+Gs suite with a fireplace, sitting area and French doors to a balcony. Two walk-in closets and a spacious bath with soaking tub, oversized stall shower and two vanities completes this space. There are three additional bedrooms, including an en suite, plus two sharing a Jack & Jill bath. A large, finished flex space can be used as a fifth bedroom, exercise area, play room or other possibilities. An unfinished third floor, accessible via a straight staircase, provides yet more potential living space. As a bonus, the walkout lower level is finished with a fireplace, game area, powder room and full wet bar as well as plenty of storage and the home+-+G+Gs mechanicals. The sport court is game-ready for a variety of activities. Surrounded by verdant lawn and stone hardscaping, this sophisticated-yet-comfortable custom residence is an excellent choice in beautiful Lower Gwynedd. Motivated Seller
