For the buyer who has an eye for elevated design and the flexibility to work from anywhere, this modern craftsman gem in Upper Salford Township, PA, may be your family's dream home for generations to come. Tucked away on a cul-de-sac and a wooded 1.22-acre lot, this sprawling 5,146-square-foot home, designed by renowned local architect Phillip D. Kunz, has been written up in architecture books and magazines. With a view of a ski hill from the indoor pool, it gives the feeling of a remote mountain resort, yet it is only 45 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport and less than two hours from New York City. A nature-lover's or horse-owner's dream, just a mile from this home's front door is the 22-mile Perkiomen trail, ideal for hiking, biking, or riding. The home features soaring ceilings, oversized industrial elements, and a dramatic balcony overlooking the main house from the second-floor master suite. From every direction, you'll see that this home is intentionally designed with high-quality materials and rich in over-the-top details. The original house was built as an extravagant two bedroom with an indoor pool. The second owners brought back Kunz, the original architect, to oversee the design and addition of an expansive guest wing with a hallway of exquisite closets, finished with cherry and rice paper sliding doors, bringing the house to four large bedrooms and 2 high-design bathrooms. The house has been used as an artist's residence for a Canadian writer for the last two years and is back on the market after a main floor renovation, focused on the removal of room dividers and suspended cabinets in the main house to open it up in a great-hall manner. One hundred square feet of stunning soapstone countertops have been added in the newly expanded kitchen. The original main floor carpet has been replaced with a high-contrast hickory that complements the cherry craftsman details while preserving the original bamboo floor border, staying true to the original owner's vision of a craftsman-style home with contemporary, eastern influences throughout. With the main house built in 2006, and consistent updates over time, this house expands with the vision and improvements of each owner, including a 2014 addition of a 1200 square foot guest wing, a 2018 master bathroom remodel, a new roof in 2019, a 2022 update of the indoor endless pool, a 2023 kitchen expansion with upgraded countertops, and new main house flooring in 2023.
