Description

Nestled in a cul-de-sac setting and down a long driveway, sits 720 Buckley Circle in beautiful Lower Gwynedd Township. This updated executive-style brick-front colonial falls within the sought-after Wissahickon School District, which is one of the most highly regarded school districts in Montgomery County. The property is located just a short walk from Lower Gwynedd Elementary, Wissahickon Middle and High School, Pen-Ambler Park, and the Lower Gwynedd Township walking trail system. This house has been meticulously cared for and updated both inside and out. Walk through the front door into this charming home which features beautiful hardwood flooring throughout the first and second floors. The two-story foyer boasts an updated hardwood staircase and railing as well. To your right is the spacious formal living room full of light from two western exposure windows and a large bay window. To the left, the formal dining room with wainscoting and a bay window and French-door leads to the gourmet kitchen. Walk down the center hall passed a roomy powder room and large coat closet towards the rear of the home where you will find an open and bright family room with lots of natural light, a brick hearth with gas fireplace, and custom wood window blinds and a recessed bar area. The family room opens seamlessly to a fantastic kitchen which is custom designed with granite countertops, under-cabinet, and work lighting, a large island workspace with pendant lighting, and plenty of cabinets for storage and display. It is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including a gas cooktop with custom hood vent. The laundry room, which is conveniently located off the kitchen by a quaint pocket door, has been redesigned and includes a stainless-steel tub, an Electrolux washer/dryer on a raised platform, and additional storage closets. Access to the large two car garage is also located here. Upstairs you will find four bedrooms and a sizeable center-hall bathroom with updated tile, a new combination tub and shower, and a double vanity. The primary suite includes a spacious bedroom area with a large adjoining sitting room, plantation shutters, a skylight, and two large custom-designed walk-in closets. The master bath includes another skylight, a double vanity, whirlpool spa tub, and separate shower. Three very sizeable additional bedrooms complete the second floor. Professionally landscaped, the property offers privacy throughout the year with specimen trees and perennials. The rear yard features a stunning 25,000-gallon Carlton in-ground, salt-water, heated swimming pool and spa, premium hardwood tongue and groove cedar wood and aluminum fencing. A large deck surrounds the pool for outdoor dining and relaxation, while a custom paver patio above the pool deck provides additional space for patio furniture and comes with a retractable awning. The basement level features two custom-designed play/work areas with built-in bookcases, a large game closet with built in shelving, a separate storage closet, and a large, unfinished workroom equipped with additional built-in storage and a workbench. The basement also houses two sump pumps and a waterproofing system. The property has undergone various upgrades, with all windows, doors, storm/screen doors, and garage doors being replaced. The entire first floor has been recently repainted. The electrical system is surge protected. In the event of an interruption to the public electric utility service, a Generac 22 kW generator with an automatic transfer switch provides whole-house electrical service. It is beyond evident that this home has been cared for and loved by its current owners. Once you walk through the door you will realize you have nothing left to do except drop your bags and call 720 Buckley Circle HOME!
