Characteristic stone details encase the double door entry, and the look of classic black shutters gives this home noticeable curb appeal. When you step inside to the two-story foyer and onto the gorgeous hardwood floors you feel welcomed with a sense of tasteful elegance. With a neutral, yet warm color palette and the crisp lines of the trim work, the formal living room enjoys a bright airiness as it flows effortlessly into the dining room with matching decor and the added spaciousness of inset windows that bring in the deep backyard views. Often referred to as the heart of the home, this kitchen affords a modern country appeal with tiered island, stainless steel appliances, plenty of raised panel cabinetry with a cream finish and gleaming granite counters. Filling with sunlight, the breakfast room with shadowbox wainscoting could serve as a sitting area as this open floorplan moves into the dining room, a great arrangement for entertaining and socializing. This large space also boasts a fireplace with mantle. Beautiful and relaxing, the sunken family room is wrapped in windows and features a raised ceiling as it takes full advantage the green and open views of the backyard and gives you access to the patio. Upstairs french doors reveal the master suite where the owners have a generously sized bedroom highlighted by his-and-her walk-in closets and an ensuite bath with double vanity, a separate soaking tub and natural light. Three well-appointed secondary bedrooms each have more than enough closet space, multiple windows and share the common bath. The finished basement affords several areas for fun, games and recreation and includes wraparound shelving for the collection of your choice, abundant recessed lighting and extra storage, too. Expanding to two sides of the home the patio gives you the option of several seating areas that overlook the level yard that stretches to a natural space. This home resides within the highly regarded Pennsbury School District, offers quick access to interstate 95 and is just minutes from all that Newtown has to offer!
