Our New Crush: A Stunning Country Estate
This week we have fallen in love with this incredible Pennsylvanian shingle-style country estate. Presented by our Sotheby's colleagues at Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty, this prized estate rivals a five-star resort with its luxurious interior and secluded country setting, sited on three acres.
This country estate with shingle-style architecture delights at every turn. Located adjacent to North Park and the Irwin Run Conservancy, this custom home offers a secure gated entry, a well-conceived exterior/interior plan, modern amenities and unsurpassed attention to detail. The residence features a library with mahogany paneling and coffered ceilings, a greenhouse/sunroom, an expansive third floor game room, a home fitness center, and a heated saltwater pool. The foyer includes a custom wrought iron and oak banister, and the open dining area has retractable glass doors that connect to an alfresco dining room, allowing for an indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
Showcasing the latest technology, the kitchen offers quartzite counters, a forty-eight-inch built-in Thermador refrigerator, furniture-grade cabinets that extend to the ceiling, a striking center island, and an eye-level Subzero wine fridge. Large enough for caterers, the kitchen also includes four true refrigerator drawers, dual dishwashers, two sinks, an eight burner Thermador range, a Wolf steam oven, a commercial-grade hallway fridge and a second butler’s pantry, complete with granite counters and ample cabinet space.
The main level owner’s suite has all the amenities one would expect in a home of this caliber, including a private office space and a spa-like bath, complete with a soaking tub, vaulted ceilings and an oversized steam shower with a glass enclosure. One of the walk-in closets is ready for a coffee bar and features a stackable washer/dryer. The generous secondary bedrooms all boast ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets.
The finished lower floor and the outdoor living areas offer many options for entertaining, including a drop-down projector screen on the covered loggia. Meandering pathways lined with lush, manicured landscaping lead to a pool house with a partially covered patio area, a full bath, a changing room, retractable doors and a kitchenette. Surrounded by mature trees, the backyard also includes a limestone patio, an outdoor fireplace with a gas starter, custom lighting, raised vegetable gardens and rolling lawns.
