Idyllic land, 3 car garage, in-law suite, swimming pool, koi pond, greenhouses, geothermal heating, finished basement, modern: Welcome to your Pennsylvanian Paradise! Picture yourself there this summer. Can you see the sun blazing through the huge windows of your master bedroom as you stretch out from a great night's sleep? You gaze in awe at the mountain and 100-year agricultural preserve views before ambling over to the master bathroom with marble sinks, jetted tub & separate shower, then to the walk-in-closet w/hardwood flooring & built-in cabinets. After making coffee in the gourmet kitchen, you walk it through the vaulted sunroom and out to the carefully maintained stamped-concrete patio. You check on your vegetables (broccoli, onions, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, etc.) in the greenhouses (lined so critters don't come up from underneath). The 3 y.o. 30' by 4' pool is glistening in the morning sun, and you promise to take a dip after work. You're working from home, so that means heading down to the finished basement w/a full bathroom, theatre area, and office. In between projects, you take the stairs directly to the backyard to get some fresh air. When friends and family come over to visit, there's so much space to spread out and enjoy both modern comforts and rugged nature. Stocked trout stream within walking distance & state game lands nearby. You will make memories of a lifetime on this serene slice of Earth. Owners converted the oversized 2-car garage into a stellar in-law suite for their grandmother w/its own exterior door (to make it feel more like a separate living space), pantry, kitchenette with soft-close cabinets & granite counters, living room, bedroom, full bath w/cultured marble sink & shower, and a gigantic walk-in-closet (grandma's special request). Fear not--a 3-car garage was built & connects to the home via a breezeway. The garage has its own 200 Amp service that powers the bright recessed lights and an insulated loft that can be finished if desired. Though they've never had to use it, the owners have a 50 Amp generator that can power the basics of entire home including the geothermal. Between the garage loft, attic, basement storage area, and secret "escape room" through the third bedroom's closet (can you find it?), you'll have more storage than you'll know what to do with. The home is wired for Ethernet in the basement, living room, and in-law suite for fast connection. LIFX lights in basement are controlled by Alexa and are negotiable, as is the WiFi server with battery backup so you can always rely on the Ethernet-powered cameras, WiFi hot spots, and Internet. Home has new geothermal heating & cooling, hardwood throughout first floor (except mudroom, which has tile), new carpet on the stairs (2021), EcoBee smart thermostats that control 3 zones (downstairs, in-law suite, and upstairs), and custom blackout thermal cellular blinds (privacy & thermal control) throughout home. Entire home (ceilings included) has been repainted. Home was approved by PP&L for solar interconnection. Laurels were planted in the front yard; they will grow 10+ ft high and provide you more privacy if desired. The shed sits on its own foundation and has cabinets, a loft, and power (for outlets & lights). Owners purchased adjacent 1.2 acre parcel as a buffer so no one could build beside them; it is now a USDA-qualified pollinator habitat (no need to mow!). Option to purchase with property if desired. Eufy® exterior security cameras and base station come with home. This property has been maintained with the kind of care, love, and duty that one would expect from a navy submarine officer family. They will miss their neighbors, southern views of Peter's Mountain, and driving down to Fire & Ice for BBQ & ice cream but look forward to downsizing as empty-nesters. They hope the next owners will enjoy the splendors within & without these walls and share sun-splashed memories with their loved ones for years to come.
