Property Description

A one-of-a-kind custom designed home that is truly unique! This home will satisfy even the most discriminating old home lover. The vibe of this wonderful home is part European chalet part tudor... and it works! This property boasts some of the most unique ironwork and wood finishing that I have ever seen. Situated on a lot high above Mt Penn proper on a wonderfully quiet street, the location could not be better. Enter this fine home through a heavily carved and iron trimmed arched front door. In the vestibule is an elevator that had been used to access the upper level. The formal front room is the dining room with original built-ins, fine woodwork, gleaming hardwood floors and a stunning light fixture. The kitchen has a wonderful spacious galley style with butcher block counters, striking ceiling and back splash. Stainless steel appliances are every cook's dream and this kitchen features them - dishwasher, gas range and french door refrigerator. There is a floor to ceiling pantry for extra storage. Gorgeous floor tile flows through the kitchen to the powder room, laundry room and into the den. It is incredible with stunning wood work and steps to the staircase landing. This where this home really gets interesting. The formal living room is on the upper level! This large room with a cathedral ceiling with beams is magnificent! Gorgeous wood gleams everywhere. There is a wood burning fireplace with a hunter green tile surround. The iron gate offers elevator access from the vestibule. A stunning chandelier hangs from the high ceiling. There is an incredible dutch door with a striking stained glass window. The deck is the full length of the front of the home. Being on the upper level porch is like living in the tree tops with a terrific view of the pagoda in winter. The master bedroom boasts a spectacular semi-circular bay window, alcove and dual closets. The second bedroom also contains two closets with a built in bench in between. The third bedroom is like a whimsical European bunk room with built in bunk beds and cabinets. The family bath has a lovely vanity and tub/shower combination. Outside the entire yard is fenced, there is a separate fenced pet pen, raised vegetable garden, fire pit, garden shed and the remains of an old stone fish pond. At the rear of the property is a two story out building with electric that was once used to house guests of the owners. The possibilities are endless! Come see this fabulous home - you will be amazed!!
