    What's special

    Propane fireplaceSurrounding viewsUpscale finishesPrivate backyard retreatFully finished lower levelAdjoining sunroomAdditional kitchen area
    Tucked away on 2.02 beautifully landscaped acres in the French Creek area of Birdsboro, this impressive 4/5-bedroom home offers the rare combination of privacy, space, extensive recent improvements and resort-style outdoor living, all in a setting bordering French Creek State Park. From the moment you enter the soaring two-story foyer and sweeping staircase, the home feels spacious and inviting. Newly installed pecan hardwood flooring extends throughout the first and second floors and complements a traditional yet open floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a private study/library with handsome built-ins, a beautifully updated laundry room, and a dramatic two-story family room filled with natural light and anchored by a propane fireplace. An adjoining sunroom provides another relaxing space to enjoy the surrounding views. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home with abundant cabinetry, solid surface counters, tiled backsplash, an island, updated stainless appliances and easy flow to the family room, sunroom and outdoor living areas. From here, step outside to an expansive deck overlooking the private backyard and pool. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet and a recently completed luxury bathroom renovation featuring beautiful cabinetry, a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized glass-enclosed shower with multiple shower fixtures, and upscale finishes. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and a hall bath complete the second floor. The fully finished lower level dramatically expands the home's living and entertaining possibilities. A large recreation and media area, dedicated gym/additional bedroom, additional kitchen area, bathroom and direct outdoor access create tremendous flexibility for entertaining, extended stays, in-law quarters, hobbies or everyday recreation. The outdoor setting is equally impressive. The heated Gunite pool and spa are surrounded by extensive hardscaping and mature landscaping, creating a private backyard retreat. Recent pool improvements include a new Hayward propane heater, variable-speed pump, filter and mobile-enabled control system. A covered patio and elevated deck provide multiple areas for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining while overlooking the wooded surroundings. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists and anyone needing additional space will appreciate the property's four-car garage capacity, including the attached garage and separate carriage house. The carriage house has been extensively improved with finished walls, insulation, LVP flooring in the loft, heating, window air conditioning, epoxy flooring and electrical upgrades, providing outstanding flexibility for vehicles, a workshop, hobbies or additional recreational space. The current owners have invested more than $245,000 in improvements, including four new roofs, newly installed pecan hardwood flooring, complete interior painting, a whole-house Generac generator, whole-house water filtration with reverse-osmosis drinking water, upgraded lighting, renovated laundry and powder rooms, new appliances, extensive carriage-house improvements, upgraded pool equipment and the stunning primary bathroom renovation. All of this is surrounded by mature trees, expansive lawn and an exceptionally peaceful setting, with French Creek State Park practically in your backyard.
