Nestled in the embrace of time-honored trees in the heart of Blue Bell, offering unparalleled views of permanently conserved open space with horse & walking trails, and once the site of George Washington’s encampment, this completely renovated 5 bedroom, 7 bath Stone Colonial stands as a testament to timeless elegance & meticulous craftsmanship. Every element of this extraordinary home, originally built in 1910, from the gleaming new hardwood floors, to the spectacular kitchen & gorgeous en-suite Baths, has been reimagined and transformed while still blending seamlessly with its history & character. Everything is new, including the walls, windows, doors, electrical system, HVAC, tankless hot water heater, septic system, plumbing & lighting fixtures and more. Perhaps the crowning jewel of this renovated gem is its addition, an attached 3-car garage w/rooms above, designed to complement rather than compete by successfully enhancing the home's functionality while preserving its historic charm. A long tree-lined private lane leads to the newly created, walled courtyard entrance. The 12” thick stone walls, cedar shake roof, copper gutters, deep windowsills, arched doorways & 9’ 1st floor ceilings preserve the home’s integral character. 2 separate entrances include a custom solid mahogany front door opening to the center hall with a curved 3-story staircase whispering stories of the past. The center hall provides a breathtaking front-to-back view of the rear grounds through the impressive floor-to-ceiling rear French doors that extend across the Living & Dining Rms. The meticulously created Kitchen is a work of art where every detail of this extraordinary culinary space has been carefully crafted, including quartz counters, farm sink, stunning tiled backsplash, commercial range, 1 of 2 dishwashers, furniture-style refrigerator & freezer, expansive center island w/walnut butcher block counter w/seating for 4 & bar w/wine refrigerator. Enjoy the cuisine in the adjacent Dining Rm while basking in the warmth of the gas fireplace. The ease of entertaining is enhanced by the adjacent Butler’s Pantry w/2nd dishwasher, 2nd sink & walls lined w/custom cabinetry. The incredibly spacious Living Rm features the 2nd gas fireplace & offers the opportunity for multiple seating areas. A connecting Study provides one of the most spectacular views of the exterior. The 2 Powder Rms are simply gorgeous. Completing this level is a spacious Mud Room. 2 sets of stairs provide access to the 2nd floor. Pure luxury awaits in the Primary Ste w/walk-in, professionally organized closet & a sensational Full Bath w/radiant heated flr, stand-alone tub, double vanities w/quartz counters & & spa-worthy walk-in shower w/glass wall. 3 additional bedrms & en-suite baths are equally impressive, each offering its own unique blend of comfort & style. A separate Family Rm on this level offers options for Media or Recreation, & the Laundry Rm includes a washer, dryer, utility sink & custom cabinetry. Continuing to the 3rd level will reveal 1 charming Bedrm & a Gym, sharing a stunning Full Bath.
