Part of The Enclave at Upper Makefield -- a cluster of tasteful 55+ community carriage homes in a serene setting -- this 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath Bryn Athyn end-unit combines inviting practicality with dramatic design. Upon entering this lovely home, a dramatic two-story foyer exposes a long curving staircase leading to the upstairs level. To the right is an elegant formal dining room, adorned with a chair rail and custom Plantation shutters. Once past the entryway, the floor plan opens to the kitchen, the great room and the wonderful Saratoga sunroom addition, with its tall windows and mantled fireplace. The granite-countered kitchen island, with its 60/40 split stainless steel undermount sink and garbage disposal, is surrounded by more granite counters, marble backsplash, and a convenient array of stainless appliances, including an LG refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a Whirlpool wall oven/microwave combination, a 36” cooktop, and a 36” hood that vents to the exterior. The kitchen “bump out” upgrade, allows for a comfortable eat-in area along a windowed wall. An additional counter set inside a frame of built-ins can be used as a computer charging station or perhaps a coffee bar. The sunlight streaming through the many windows brings light and warmth to the entire main floor living area, making this home a comfortable space for welcome gatherings. The spacious main floor primary bedroom has a tray ceiling, two closets (one of which is a walk-in) and an ensuite bathroom with two sinks, a toilet room, and a fully-tiled shower with a frameless shower door. The large laundry room, accessed from the foyer and the primary bathroom, and the powder room opposite the two-car garage interior entrance, complete the main floor. Upstairs is an expanded loft area, a main bathroom with double sinks and a tub/shower combination, and two very large bedrooms. Hardwood floors grace the entire main and upstairs levels except for the tiled bathrooms. Built in 2016, this home has a hybrid fuel HVAC system with three zones, consisting of a 14 SEER heat pump and 95% efficient propane gas furnace with zone control dampers, a 50-gallon Bradford White hot water heater, and a whole house surge protector. The full unfinished basement, with a plumbing rough-in, is a blank canvas ready to be transformed. At the rear exterior is an expanded Trex deck and, and along the home's perimeter, an in-ground irrigation system. Close to the Borough of Newtown and its many shops, restaurants, and historical sites, this home exudes warmth and character, as it awaits its new owner.
