Classic Colonial with Fabulous "Designer" Updates. It's a wonderful moment in time when a charming home, which is so tastefully and thoughtfully updated and decorated throughout, comes on the market. The craftsmanship of the era from when this home was constructed has been enhanced with the combination of the creative and artistic designs of combining the spaces, shapes, and colors of today. The fortunate new home owner will certainly enjoy the efforts put forth by the current owners for years to come. From the moment you walk-up to the door and cross the threshold you will feel the warmth and charm from within. Entertaining family and friends flows effortlessly between the formal living room with its handsome wood-burning fireplace, to the adjacent family room with its mahogany wet bar and fireplace. Opening onto the spacious deck, there is space for all as you overlook the private, rear lawn with pool, outdoor kitchen, cabana, and guest cottage. Today, a home's "command central" is the kitchen area and this custom-designed, gourmet kitchen will not disappoint. The cabinetry millwork, the sizable walk-in pantry and storage cabinets, the triple sink, the side-by-side 32" each refrigerator/freezer, the double ovens, the 15' long central island with granite counters, the cathedral ceiling, and the wall of glass all come together to make an amazing room both functionally and aesthetically. The first floor office is both centrally located and private for those who can now "work from home" while being near all of the action. It can also serve as a 4th bedroom or guest bedroom. The owners master suite continues with the master bathroom, and his and her walk-in-closets, an elegant air-jetted Bainultra tub with heated back and multiple massage options, double sinks, and a custom walk-in shower with multiple shower heads and over-head rain shower. The 2 other second floor bedrooms provide ample storage, and lots of natural light. The bonus room is ideal for children's studies, reading, crafts, or can be used as a flex room with a day bed. The lower level billiard room with wet bar, and stone fireplace provide the perfect backdrop for fun and games. A separate foosball room, and a distinct media room set the stage for everyone to get involved. For the woodworker or tinkerer in the family, the spacious workshop is ideal to create and construct your next project. It could also be a perfect model railroad room, or room to create your child's next science fair project with its outside egress window and daylight. Outside entertaining spaced have been carefully and thoughtfully developed. From the spacious in-ground pool with patio and outdoor kitchen, to the quaint "guest cottage, " to the cabana with changing room and bath, to the large open lawn spaces to run and play, this yard provides full-time recreation options. There is also a sizable shed for storage of all lawn-care and pool furniture during the off-season. All-in-all, this is truly a special place to call home. It's extremely convenient to LCDS, NSOL, F & M College, Lancaster Farmer's Market, and many fine restaurants and shops. The lovely School Lane Hills neighborhood is a favorite location for walking, for biking, and for running. Call today for your private showing of this fine home. You won't be disappointed.
