Colonial, Farmhouse/National Folk

Rare is the home that owes its original and unique design to the iconic Ann Capron, then blends in today's lifestyle upgrades, and has the land and the privacy so difficult to find at any price, in any location. 1225 Heather Knoll Lane in Media, is such a place, and captures the uniqueness of a beautiful structure while offering a visually, texturally and functionally welcoming home. Mixing a variety of materials and exceptional craftsmanship, the home's generous proportions lend a surprising intimacy matched by the privacy of the acreage. The particulars: The interior dimensions vary by source: apx. 5,000 sq. ft., with between 4-5 bedrooms based on use, and 4 full and one to three half baths (the last, a Jack-and-Jill configuration), with 9' ceilings throughout. A unique Farmhouse/Colonial style, a 2-story center hall with a handmade floor is at the entry, beyond which are a Powder Rm, Study, Dining Rm, Living Rm, Breakfast rm and Kitchen with high-end appliances, and the appropriately named Great Room, with a fireplace that encompasses an entire wall. A mudroom, laundry rm, and 3-season Sun porch finish the first floor. A grand staircase takes you to the second floor where three of the bedrooms are located, each en suite. The Main Bedroom Suite is simply incomparable, sparkling with daytime sunlight, and in the evening, casts a glow from the fireplace; the private Bath is simply beyond description and rivals the best ever seen. The closet in the main bedroom takes "walk-in closets" to a whole new level, with closets within the closet, and a private deck. Each of the two additional bedrooms upstairs are lovely and light-filled, and have their own full bath. The lower level is a walk-out, fully finished with a spacious recreation room with fireplace, a bedroom or two, and a Jack-and-Jill bath. The Sun porch overlooks the expansive multi-level slate and Brazilian Ipe wood decks, with entertainment areas that accommodate over a hundred people, and overlook the lush professionally landscaped grounds with breathtaking views of the enchanting pond, fountain and gazebo. The car enthusiast will be thrilled with the detached 4-bay garage with powder rm, and the artist or in-laws can secret themselves away in the massive 2nd floor of the garage, waiting to be finished. The story of this enchanting home is still being written. Whatever your lifestyle, whatever your story, 1225 Heather Knoll will help you create the next chapters of yours.
