Colonial

Better than New! This beautiful country farmhouse is located on a quiet cul de sac in the heart of historic Gwynedd Valley! Only seven years old and in perfect condition with over 7,200 well finished square feet, two exquisite acres, a pool and southern sun exposure. The historic traditional architecture with contemporary features, large scenic property, high quality finishes are obvious, however, this house is much more than meets the eye; a generous home constructed with energy efficiency at its core. What you don't see but feel is complete closed-cell insulation, geothermal based heating and cooling, controlled air exchange, and radiant basement floors adding up to an exceptionally low energy use cost. A concrete paneled insulated foundation and gravity drainage on site insures a dry basement and home. A welcoming foyer and grand stair leads to an expansive rear view. The main living floor includes a well finished kitchen at the center of an open plan with dramatic family room and breakfast room. Two powder rooms service both ends of the first floor. A formal dining room, living room and library complete the handsome first floor layout. Four bedrooms, each with a private bath including a sun filled master suite with a full room-size walk-in closet and large steam shower. The bathrooms all have designer detailed tile or marble.. A highly finished, walk-out lower level living suite makes the most of the sloping lot and pool. The oversized garage includes related storage areas. A significant bonus is the potential for finished space over the garage and the windowed, full attic; all ready for final electric and drywall to be 2,000 sq. ft. of additional living area for an in- law and an au pair and home office. Highlighted finishes include 3 stone, wood burning fireplaces set up for propane, extensive millwork throughout, wide plank oak floors, wood shingles, and mahogany decks. Technically, the house includes state of the art HVAC, Sound wiring, lighting and security systems. A well on site provides a lawn sprinkler system and outside water use apart from the connected public domestic water service. This is a like-new house perfectly maintained and ready for a family to enjoy!
