Serenity, now!! If peace and placidity are on your home-shopping short-list - look no further than 859 Temple Road. Amidst a wonderfully tranquil setting, this 4 BR, 3.5 bath abode delivers all of that, and then some. At just under . 75 acres, an oasis of privacy replete with mature/established landscape and year-round interest and beauty abounds - a gardeners delight! ( when in season, the luxury of fully-fledged blueberry bushes are yours to savor as well!). Courtesy of expansive, elevated, wrap-around decking (freshly stained this spring), and a private retreat-style rear patio ( at grade), nearly 270 degrees of outdoor splendor is at-the-ready to be experienced and enjoyed. Catch an afternoon of solitary, sun-drenched relaxation with your favorite book (and beverage of choice), or take in a stunning, south-west facing sunset whilst winning and dining with friends - the options for pleasurable and easy outdoor living are myriad. And, that's just the exterior! Inside, an inviting floor-plan welcomes you to relax and recharge with its clean simplicity. Central to modern-day living is a delightfully spacious kitchen with custom cabinetry ( LOADS of storage), and "eat-up" bar/workspace, and adjoining living, dining, and family room - perfect for everyday living. With expansive windows (energy efficient casement spec, complete with several garden-style bay windows) and sliders (servicing the wrap-around deck in two places-deck and patio), you'll never feel a discordant disconnect from your natural surroundings. When the weather is less than desirable ( or, if 'garage life' is more your speed), we would be remiss without mentioning the oversized, heated, attached ( English-basement style), 6-car garage! Whether you tinker, collect, or simple have a serious need for extra storage - the full-footprint, lower-level garage is, in a word, fantastic! Well lit, complete with half-bath, it is a space to be envisioned/adapted to whatever your creative spirit desires! Think of all this privacy and peace comes at the cost of seclusion?? Think again. You are mere minutes from a multitude of present-day civilization! Shopping, restaurants, and activities abound - Philadelphia Premium Outlets, Coventry Mall, Lowe's, French Creek State Park, just to name a few. Close proximity to major routes, 100 and 422 as well. Owen J Roberts SD at your service for a fine and trusted education should you have the need. There is so much about this home that offers peace of mind - a "Temple" of solace, if you will. The only thing to stress about, is to MISS the opportunity to call this place HOME.
