Every so often a home becomes available that captivates and inspires the real estate community. Balancing a unique harmony of indoor and outdoor living spaces, custom design features at every turn and set amid an enchanting fairytale setting, 19 Spring Mount Road is a picturesque Cape Cod primed for new owners. The nature-themed paver driveway, designed by a local artist, is a sight to behold and starts the journey. Paver pathways and flower beds lead to a full-length front porch with exposed wood ceilings and white railings and balusters. Plenty of room to sit and laugh with family and friends, or in solitude, while watching days blend into nights. Overflowing with charm and intrigue, the interior of the home presents an open and flexible floor plan with an abundance of natural light. A brilliant wood-burning brick fireplace centers the oversized front to back living room with windows galore, and opens up to both the dining room and kitchen areas. Entertaining is a delightful breeze in the open-concept kitchen and dining room featuring a custom-built rough-edge wood breakfast bar. Enhancing this central space are built-in art niches, deep window sills and a custom wall-mounted spice cabinet. A stone addition to the back of the home presents a magnificent sunroom/office/playroom with vaulted ceilings, two skylights, dimensionally-layered exposed beams and two breathtaking antique stained-glass windows salvaged from an historic church. Solid wood doors with glass inlays and vintage hardware lead to the convenient powder room and also to the backyard. Not to be outdone, the upstairs retreat lays out three full bedrooms with hardwood pine flooring, dormers, built-ins, a full bathroom and a walk-up floored storage attic.
Functional basement space abounds with a workshop, desk nook, exercise area and an additional full bathroom. A vintage Fisher wood-burning stove adds charm and character and provides a rustic and efficient secondary heating source. Upgraded mechanicals include a new electrical panel and new Navien energy-star combo hot water/heater boiler.
And always at your fingertips are the beckoning calls of the stunning backyard oasis that will continue to create dreams and memories for generations to come. Multiple paver patios and walkways, a sports court, 2-story treehouse, and various built-in benches and sitting areas create a wondrous space for gathering, playing, relaxing, gardening and outdoor dining. Follow the footbridge path to the rear of the lot, where the seasonal splendor of the Perkiomen Creek Watershed and Spring Mountain are on full display. Your summer vacation starts now and is an open-ended trip!
