This is a unique and amazing property perched high on a hill above the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek. Sitting on 1 ac this wooded lot presents gorgeous water views and a wooded lot with no grass to mow! The property is completely surrounded by park land. There are walking trails that take you through the woods and down to the creek side. Slip your kayaks right in the water from the far side of the 2 car garage. The detached garage is built on the remnants of a historic stone bridge that used to cross the creek. Park your car and meander on to the fieldstone driveway and follow the wide stone & paver driveway leading to the stately newer double door entrance. The home opens to a living room with a large field stone fireplace, and warm autumn toned Saltillo tile flooring. The living room has stairs leading both up and down to other levels of the home. The upstairs main level is an open concept with large family room, kitchen, dining and wet bar.

Custom made barn board doors take you to more storage and a laundry/utility area with exposed rock from the hill on which this home sits. The rock formation is like a beautiful one -of- a- kind piece of art! The utility room stores the HVAC system, tankless water heater, water softener and the Generac propane fueled back up generator panel! A gravel walkway leads to stone stairs that climb the hill to the private woods that can be landscaped or left natural. The owners have used this space for activities like horseshoes and golf pitching. At the top of these stairs you will find a woodshed and fenced propane tank both constructed from reclaimed wood. This area of the property borders acres and acres of park land. On this side of the house you will find the Generac Generator for the home. This home has been lovingly and creatively renovated from top to bottom by the current owners.
