When it comes to luxury homes, there are certain inherent expectations such as generous room sizes, substantial moldings/ceiling details, lighting enhancements, kitchens and primary baths with "wow" factor, and custom touches throughout.

This home meets all of those expectations and more. Designed with entertaining in mind, there are two spaces that are of particular note.

The first is the surprise on the lower level. Upon descending the staircase, you are transported to Tuscany with stone flooring, stacked stone columns, and wood beams. Carved double doors open to an upscale summer kitchen with tile flooring, a stone hearth with gas fireplace, and arched openings to the wine tasting room. Enjoy wine tasting or host a dinner for friends in this lovely space that is adjacent to the wine cellar with an 800 bottle capacity. A set of double doors at the far end of the room looks out to a backlit Tuscan scene and, around the corner, a catering kitchen stands ready for your personal chef and crew.

The second space that is an entertainer's delight is the rear yard. The flagstone patio winds throughout the space, accented by stone walls. The outdoor kitchen with dual ceiling fans boasts bar seating, a grill, cook top, refrigerator, and a wood-fired pizza oven. Relax in one of the multiple seating areas and enjoy the waterfall that flows into the pond below. The tiered rear yard boasts beautiful hardscape and mature plantings.

Set on over an acre in the Heights of North Park, the location puts an abundance of outdoor recreational activities at your doorstep, easy access to shopping & dining, and convenient access to both I-79/279 and the PA Turnpike.

A waterfall in front of the home is a stately welcome. Inside, the two story entry opens to the family room with floor to ceiling fireplace. The oversize dining room stands ready for formal dinners and a large butler's pantry is just steps away. The exceptional kitchen with hardwood flooring boasts a large center island with pendant lighting and salad sink, Viking commercial range with hood, a walk-in pantry, granite counter tops, a large breakfast area, and a cozy hearth room with fireplace. Dual doors lead to the inviting sun room and to the patio beyond.

The paneled home office with hardwood flooring includes a dramatic ceiling. It also offers access from both the front hall and the rear hall that leads to the private, primary suite. The oversize primary suite offers a sitting area, a large walk-in closet, and bath with dual bowl vanity, jetted tub, and tile shower.

The upper level offers three bedrooms with walk-in closets, two full baths, and an abundance of storage space.

In addition to the entertaining space in the lower level, there is also a large family room, 5th bedroom, full bath with jetted tub & shower, and a large storage room.

The oversize 3 car garage boasts epoxy flooring and a staircase to the lower level.
