Description

WAIT NO LONGER! Pull up to the front and you’ll be saying “this is my home” and yes, it’s on a perimeter lot in The Colony at Skippack, an active adult gated community. The Colony is known for the beauty of its gently curving tree-lined streets and homes that portray outstanding timeless architecture. Comprised of only 81 homes, it’s just the right size and so is this 2,318 square foot (plus approx. 1,108 sq ft finished basement!), 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, two-story exciting home with all the right rooms laid out in a fantastic floor plan. This model (expanded 4 feet from the original plan) was introduced to The Colony during its last phase of construction and it’s a star - totally flexible for your present and future needs. It’s so pleasant and practical having all your priority rooms on one level and yet owning the premium option of auxiliary areas on the second level and basement. Your tour will include entering an impressive two-story entrance, creatively designed home office, centrally placed turned stairs with overlook, elegant dining room with custom window seat, 17x17 vaulted great room with gas fireplace, crisp 20x12 kitchen with island and breakfast nook, adjacent 10x12 sunroom and 17x18 bright main bedroom with clever closet space and an ensuite updated full bath. From the sunroom you exit to a 32x12 composite deck backing to greenery and space. This lucky house has the gift of greeting the sun from the deck in the morning and enjoying the shade on the deck in the afternoon. The second level with two bedrooms and a full bath, accommodates room for guests, hobbies or getaways. But wait, if you desire to expand your possibilities for entertainment, exercise, play stations or for a multitude of reasons, this home comes with a cleverly designed 1,108 square feet of finished basement equipped with four well-thought out storage closets (one is cedar and two are walk-in) plus a 10x16 bonus 'anything you want it to be' room. The unfinished area of the basement has strong wood storage shelves. The roof was replaced in October 2024. The HVAC was replaced in 2018 and the water heater in 2021. The seller is procuring a one-year home warranty that will be transferred to the buyer at settlement. The Colony at Skippack includes a gracious colonial style clubhouse complete with gym, library and ballroom, heated saltwater pool and bocce court. The clubhouse and community offer a huge menu of activities such as bocce, book group, game night, exercise sessions, men’s breakfast, women’s lunch bunch and exciting year-round social events. Historic Skippack Village, famous for its unique restaurants and shops, and Palmer Park are both close by. There’s so much to enjoy and explore in this traditional location where George Washington bivouacked his troops before the battle of Germantown! So, if you’ve been searching for just the right size home to settle in and make memories, you can do it here amidst our classic, old town hometown. Showings begin with Open Houses on Saturday, November 1 and Sunday, November 2, both from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Can’t wait to meet you!
