A rarely offered Colonial Estate home in the Inverness neighborhood of Huntingdon Valley. This home offers both stately elegance as well as gracious warmth and an exceptional eye for detail. The neutral yet luxurious decor offers a home that needs nothing other than individual touches. This is a wonderful space for entertaining but there is so much living to be done here, you may never want to leave. Upon entering this home the open floor plan free of columns creates a wonderful flow through all areas of the first floor. The two story entryway is both impressive and an indicator of the expansive architectural style this home has. Look to the left and you find a formal living room with a two sided gas fireplace which serves a conservatory addition on the other side. ( A favorite space of the current owners). This conservatory is a substantial, light-filled space which the owners love for reading, games and sometimes even as a dance floor. A formal dining room is highlighted with unique and tasteful architectural features which are repeated throughout this house. A feature ceiling and cove lighting create a cozy and romantic feel making any occasion an elevated experience. Large windows through the first floor create an abundance of natural light while privacy is secured by the wooded setting as well as the custom blinds found throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen is complete with top of the line stainless appliances by Sub-Zero, Viking and Asko. Double wall ovens and a six burner cooktop make entertaining a breeze. Granite counters, high end cabinetry, a butler's pantry and a full walk-in pantry mean storage galore. The breakfast room looks out over the backyard with wooded views. Open to the kitchen and breakfast area is a two-story great room with 18' ceilings, another fireplace and those large windows that create feelings of grandeur but also this feels like a place where you know you can be comfortable. Fully wired surround sound allows for music to be played throughout the main areas of the home. The main level is completed by a home office to the right of the main entry, two large closets, a spacious laundry room with additional closet space AND a three car garage; pillarless and completely outfitted with floor mats. Just another detail indicating how meticulously this home has been cared for. Back in the main entry, there is a turned staircase leading to the expansive second floor. Five bedrooms, all quite spacious and accommodating. A master bedroom with an impressive entry space, great closet space and a master bath with a large walk-in shower with frameless glass, a large bathtub, a double sink vanity and a separate water closet. Again, the care has been precise and it looks like a newly renovated bathroom. This level also features those unique architectural details referenced before as well as high end decorative painting techniques creating interesting focal points making the space incredibly special.However, the piece de resistance of this home is found on the lower level. A custom, fully finished walkout basement which adds approximately 1915 square feet of additional living space has its own entry as well as a bedroom, full bathroom, kitchenette with a sink, and a built-in refrigerator. A large bar with granite countertops completes the kitchen area. A full gaming space with a pool table, ping pong table, poker table, air hockey table and plentiful seating. A separate space houses a home gym fully equipped with a treadmill, elliptical, recumbent bike and a strength machine. But, the best part of this space might be the fully outfitted home theater. Complete with two level seating, six fully reclining leather chairs and a home theater system wired with surround sound and a 70" television. There is also a sound system for the remainder of the basement as well. All of this is included with the home. Video tour here: https://vimeo.com/323045068
