Looking for the needle in a haystack? This is it. Nestled down a private drive, this 5 bedroom, 2 ½ bath split home in the Timberwyk neighborhood offers a lush retreat from the busy world, yet its Upper Providence township location is convenient for all your needs. Imagine starting your day with a cup of coffee and a good book on the large covered front porch. Enter the main level through the foyer, which has hardwood floors and a coat closet, and into the sizable living room with a large picture window. The adjacent dining room is ready for both family and holiday meals, and features a sliding glass door with access to the newly installed Timbertech deck and railings. The gourmet kitchen has been reconfigured and updated to accommodate both a chef and an assistant with stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop/electric oven, granite counter tops, abundant overhead lighting and gorgeous cherry cabinets. The kitchen has also been expanded to include a light-filled dining area with access to the Timbertech deck where you can unwind at the end of the day, and since the deck provides easy access to the kitchen, dining room and yard, it is the perfect entertaining accessory. The upper level of this home includes the spacious primary bedroom suite with bath and roomy double closets. Three additional good sized bedrooms and a tiled hall bathroom complete this level. Heading up another level is the enormous 5th bedroom which, with imagination, could become a private primary bedroom or in-law suite. This room also provides access to the walk up floored attic storage area. The lower level of this residence features the recreation room with lovely wainscoting and a brick gas fireplace, a powder room, laundry/utility room and a flex space, with direct access to the 2-car garage, that could be a mudroom, craft room or office. One of the best features of this home is its lovely lot which offers privacy and an escape to tranquility.
