This exquisitely designed Country French home, tucked away amongst 8 custom homes on a cul-de-sac in sought-after Whitemarsh township, is a creation of award-winning architect Ann Capron. This magnificent masterpiece, which includes 8800 square feet of living space, perfectly blends design and function to accommodate both formal and casual entertaining while capturing panoramic views of the beautifully landscaped 1 acre surroundings. Entering from the circular drive through the solid double oak doors with leaded glass, the two-story foyer with spindle-curved staircase and magnificent hardwood floors reflects the dramatic beauty of this gorgeous home and attention to every detail. As you pass the French doors leading to the living room or office that includes extensive crown molding, handsomely designed gas fireplace and Palladian windows, you enter the "˜crown jewel' Great Room with soaring hand carved red oak ceiling design, arched cabinetry with hidden bar, marble gas fireplace and spectacular Palladian windows. The gourmet kitchen, commercial appliances and beautiful cabinetry look onto a sun-drenched eating area with access to the stunning, flagstone, terraced patios. A spacious elegant dining room is easily accessible from the kitchen through French doors. A delightful surprise is the large indoor hot-tub, perfect for unwinding after a busy day and conveniently tucked into a separate room adjoining the sun room, each flooded with afternoon sunshine. The first level also includes a large laundry room, multiple walk-in pantry and storage closets; access to the outdoors is available through the back door or the attached three car garage. The first floor master suite with vaulted ceiling, Palladian windows, and built in wall units leads to a new custom bath suite that includes his/her sinks, vanity, heated floors, very large steam shower, and separate sauna. On the upper level there are two large bedrooms arranged in jack-and-jill style between a large bathroom with shower stall. This suite also includes a 3rd smaller bedroom perfect for a nursery or adjoining office. Another fourth large bedroom suite includes a large bathroom. All bedrooms have large walk-in closets. An additional, walk-in cedar closet with attic access is included on the upper level.
