OFFER DEADLINE - Highest and best offers are due by 1pm, Monday, May 11th - thank you! Rare, spectacular French Creek vista property on private 1.2 acres, wrapped by preserved water and woodland views, walkable to Kimberton Village and the Waldorf School. Available for the first time since 1985! Must see to fully appreciate the magic of this sanctuary property, enveloped in the beauty of nature. This mid-century, three-level banked home, nestled on a bluff above French Creek, not in a floodplain, has been impeccably maintained and includes a complete main-level living floorplan, with sylvan and water views from every window. Take the long driveway to this tucked-away oasis and enter through the covered front porch into the expansive living room, featuring illuminated, built-in library wall, enormous west-facing picture window and egress to the large deck with breath-taking creek, woodland and sunset views. Proceed into the open concept kitchen, dining and family room areas, wrapped on three sides with windows that light it up - a wonderful generous space to host family and friends. Down the main level hallway find an updated full bath, along with linen and walk-in closets, then proceed to the main level primary-ensuite. This lovely room features two walls of windows that showcase the wooded and creek views beyond, large closet space, beamed ceiling and en-suite full bath with tub/shower combo. Take the stairway to the lower walk-out level featuring sliders to the rear yard and pool areas, along with a woodstove to optionally heat the entire home in the colder months. To the left, find a spacious family room / gathering space with a wall of windows that bring the outdoors in, along with a fabulous full stone wall with wood-burning fireplace. Laundry room / pantry space is accessed from this room as well. The other side of the lower level features two office spaces that could be well utilized as bedrooms. A workshop / storage / mechanicals room, and a half bath /pool changing room offer extra space and functionality. The cozy upper level of the home features two bedrooms with skylights and more lovely views, along with a full bath with dual sink vanity. Outside, a gorgeous in-ground pool / spa is wrapped by stone patio areas and framed by beautiful, mature trees and landscaping, including a phenomenal Stewartia tree. The back yard is well-sized for outdoor fun and leads to an additional stone patio area with firepit - an ideal venue to enjoy the transporting creek and wooded views and fully connect with nature. This highly coveted location is truly walkable to Kimberton Village, yet a short drive from downtown Phoenixville and within close proximity to King of Prussia and major regional thoroughfares. Access AmTrak train lines to Philadelphia, NYC and DC from Paoli Train Station, less than a half hour away!!! Only a handful of creek front properties exist in the Kimberton area, particularly with no threat of flooding. This is a once in a lifetime property, with unlimited potential that would hold any equity investment, just waiting for its next lucky steward. .. ..
