1105 Sweet Briar Cir, Lower Gwynedd, PA 19002

Are you ready for your dream home?! Built by Tom Sweeney, sitting on more than an acre in the heart of Lower Gwynedd, enjoy a sublime setting at the end of a cul-de-sac backing up to the Wissahickon Watershed Preserve in the highly sought-after community of Forest Hill. You will find a gorgeous home situated on grounds planted and maintained with the utmost care. With flowering trees and sumptuous lawns, a sparkling swimming pool, attached hot tub and paved terraces, you might spend a whole day relaxing outside! But go inside this 5 bedroom, 3 full and 2 half bath home and you will find over 6,200 sq ft of beautifully finished space, with a flow that is perfect. There are solid oak hardwood floors through most of the home except the foyer and bathrooms which have tile, and the fifth bedroom which has carpet. Stepping inside the front door you find yourself in a two-story foyer with a statement staircase to the second floor. To the right and left of you are a living room and a formal dining room, both of exceptional size and featuring custom wainscoting and a wood burning fireplace in the living room. Through the foyer to the chef’s kitchen, you have reached the real heart of the home. Spectacular with a 12’ granite countered cherry island housing a Dacor six burner gas cook top, a pop-up extractor fan, a prep sink, lots of storage and room for 6 bar stools. Some people might be happy with just the island, but surrounding it is plenty more storage in cherry cabinets with granite countertops, a Dacor double oven, Miele dishwasher, KitchenAid refrigerator and a Marvel wine cooler (all stainless steel) and a double sink all surround the island and make this space a joy to prepare food and entertain guests. The kitchen is open to a huge, vaulted ceiling sunroom with skylights and a wall of windows overlooking the pool area, the backyard and the Preserve. Off this sunroom and connected to the formal living room by double doors is a good-sized office with built-in bookcases. On the other side of the sunroom is the original sunroom for the house. Presently used as an office, it could be repurposed as a sunny sitting room (with built in wet bar) or play area (lock up the wet bar!). A hallway from the kitchen leads to a spacious half bath and on to the family room which has a huge wood burning fireplace. A second stairway leads from the old sunroom upstairs. Halfway up the stairs is a large cupboard door which leads to an enormous storage area over the garage. Up to the second floor from the foyer or the back staircase we find 5 bedrooms including the owner’s suite, plus two full bathrooms and an upstairs laundry room. The owner's suite is breathtaking: an enormous bedroom with wood burning fireplace (number three!), a bathroom beyond the imagination and a magnificent walk-in closet. The bathroom has a clawfoot slipper tub, a huge glass enclosed shower, a linen closet, double sink vanity and room for a makeup table. The toilet is tucked away beyond the shower. All this in a spacious room with Carrera marble floor, wainscotting and tiling in the shower. The walk-in closet is off the bathroom. It features custom built in cabinetry and has enough space for a seat and a window! The four spacious secondary bedrooms all have good closet space and share two hall bathrooms. The laundry room has the appliance hook ups enclosed in a closet, and has a cabinet topped with a clothes-folding area. Accessed from the family room is a very large three and a half car garage. Enough room for your cars and your toys! Going downstairs from the foyer on the main level takes you to the basement, which has a large, finished space and an unfinished space housing the HVAC system, water heater and a spacious storage area. There are two parts that are finished. One is home to a sitting area, a wet bar, a pool table and a ping pong table. The other is home to a workout area. A half bath completes the basement. Come and live the dream!
