Spring House, PA 19477

Welcome to this custom Trueblood contemporary in desirable Wood Bridge Meadow. The community is known for its ponds, streams and wonderful walking trails. This neighborhood focuses on surrounding each home with nature's beauty and offers 50+ acres of preserved open space. Wood Bridge Meadow is located just over a mile from the Penllyn train station and Route 309, it is convenient to so many daily needs. Springhouse Village Center is just around the corner offering Whole Foods, terrific restaurants, Starbucks, CVS, and downtown Ambler is only a few minutes away, offering a movie theater, playhouse, fabulous restaurants, farmer's market and another train station, if you used to commute to the city, and hope to again, one of these days. This extremely unique home sits on a coveted private cul-de-sac lot with a rear view of large growth trees and a community walking path. The house offers function, versatility, tons of natural light, hardwood flooring and wooded views from almost every window of this contemporary. A slate walkway welcomes you, as you approach the covered front porch of the main front entrance located on the right side of the garage. Enter the open foyer, and see how nature greets you immediately through all the picture windows on the many levels of this design. On your right is a combo kitchen/breakfast room with tile floor, natural wood cabinetry and lots of throwbacks to the era when these homes were carefully designed. Off this is a bright and sunny dining room, with a cool over-look into the large great room and easy access to the rear deck and backyard. Walk down a few steps, and a wall of windows and tall ceilings greets you, the family room is anchored by a natural stone wood-burning fireplace...but it is the wooded peaceful views that calm you when you sit almost anywhere in this space. The flagstone patio is off the great room level and there is a door centrally located for when those woods pull you outside. A cozy- almost hidden- study is also on this level- you will enjoy the old albums and record player that this space currently houses. Head upstairs, and you will find three spacious bedrooms with great closet space, hardwood flooring and unique features- the one set up as a tv room- has a loft, floor to ceiling bookshelves and a ladder- and another has a vaulted ceiling- more "Trueblood-isms", as only he could do. The main bedroom suite has a neutral bath, great closets, built-ins, sauna, private separate staircase to the first floor and the coolest window design that takes advantage of natural light for this modern oasis. On the upper level is a full laundry room and balcony that peeks into the breakfast area too. The owner worked with the architect to create a private entrance off the front ( left side of the garage) and second space, since he was a filmmaker, before he retired. This space could be used as a home office, a guest suite or just for additional sitting rooms. There are two huge storage closets- one with a sink- so change that into a bathroom and it could be just about anything. It currently can be accessed off the mud area and the 2 car garage, inside the home...but could be connected another way pretty easily if so desired. The home also has a slate mudroom, a finished basement, a powder room located off the main foyer but it is also near the office wing, for easy access as well. All these Trueblood homes are special, but this one really has so much to take in. Tour this exceptional contemporary- it is just waiting for your personal touches and cosmetic choices- but it will be evident that it has truly been maintained with love for 40 plus years by the only owner it has even known. When this torch is passed, the next owner will also find it so very hard to leave-it is just that kind of house.
