Description

Down a quiet street in prestigious Lower Gwynedd, sits a beautiful custom-built Guidi Brothers home. Welcome to 955 Gladestry Lane, designed by award winning architect Ann Capron. This home, with over 4800 finished square feet, is one of sixteen in Lower Gwynedd’s Meadowview Farm subdivision. This 5 bedroom 4 ½ bath home sits on 1.1 acres in a quiet cul-de sac setting which is ideal for children to play in away from traffic, while at the same time convenient to the shops at English and Springhouse Villages! With curb appeal galore, a well-manicured winding walk-way leads you to the front door. Enter into the 2-story sunlit foyer where gleaming hardwood floors throughout the first floor greet you. A step down to the left of the foyer and you walk thru the living room with an abundance of windows and a wood burning fireplace settled underneath an elegant mantel of marble and millwork molding. Thru charming French doors off of the living room, you will find a convenient office/study with plenty of natural light from the oversized windows and wall mounted sound system built throughout the house. To the right of the foyer, is the formal dining room featuring chair rail with custom paint/wallpaper and 2 large windows, letting in even more natural light. Straight ahead, walk past the convenient half bath and hall closet and into the open eat in kitchen which features a large granite island, wet bar, and an abundance of cabinetry, as well as top of the line appliances including a Jenn-Air electric range with four Ceran round burners and two square grills and a Jenn-Air microwave and baking oven. The kitchen’s walls are lined with French White glazed wood cabinetry with detailed craftsmanship by Challew Kitchens. Sliders off of the breakfast area in the kitchen give lovely views of the patio with its decorative brick perimeter and the private back yard. The kitchen opens up to the cozy yet spacious family room with a floor to ceiling stone hearth and wood burning fireplace that would make any cold winter night feel cozy. A wall of sliding doors with additional access to the patio and back yard, make entertaining here a breeze. A large mud/ laundry room (complete with laundry chute!) off of the kitchen is equipped with two storage closets, a full bathroom and access to the outside as well as to the three-car garage. On the second floor you will find the cheerful owners’ suite, with a sitting area next to a bright bay window. A large walk-in closet gives way to the ensuite complete with double vanity, stall shower and soaking tub. Down a long hall, quite separate from the master bedroom, there is a second bedroom with ensuite as well as two additional bedrooms with a shared hall bath. A bonus room over the garage is at the end of this hall and offers a ton of possible uses. This large room could be used as a 5th bedroom, work out area or entertaining /hang out room for the kids. The enormous unfinished walk out basement is fantastic for storage and finishing this space off would allow for even more spaces to entertain! This home in this location has so much to offer! Located in the highly acclaimed Wissahickon School District, it is convenient to shopping at Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's and Costco; Easy suburban train transportation to Philadelphia with Penllyn Station nearby; Quick access to Rt. 309 and PA turnpike and close proximity to prestigious private school options!
