Built on land originally cultivated as strawberry fields, this timeless, European-styled home is called La Fraiseraie, French for Strawberry Fields. Builder Michael Evans and designer, Nicole Stamps Rosadino, created this well-appointed, upgraded 6,200 sq. ft. custom home with 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths & 2 half baths, which is sited on .80 acres in the Maplewood subdivision in Horsham Township, next to the Chestnut Creek development. Copper-style rain catchers, downspouts, solid wood garage doors, and timed landscape & up-lighting distinguish this home. Flagstone walkways, surrounded by spectacularly landscaped gardens, lead to 2 covered front porches. The mudroom entrance features a small courtyard, garden trellis, and a 2-tiered fountain. Gas lanterns welcome guests into the main front entrance with double, solid mahogany doors opening into a foyer with arched barrel-style, custom woodwork cased wainscoting. This home features 10', 9', and 8' ceilings on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd floors respectively, Andersen windows & doors, security system, and 3 zone HVAC. Character abounds in the site-finished hardwood floors, including a custom herringbone-patterned floor in the Family Room. Doors are solid wood with charming glass doorknobs on most. Window pulls add even more charm & function. Three gas fireplaces add warmth & ambiance. A gourmet Kitchen with 2 Subzero refrigerators, a GE Monogram double oven with 6 burner gas stove, range hood vented to outdoors, and Alderwood center island, ideal for a chef's demonstration kitchen, is the highlight of the home and naturally THE gathering place for family & friends. A Sunroom off the Kitchen has two large Pantries, craft area, and triple French door to the outdoor dining terrace. Rustic tile flooring makes this room an ideal room for a dog crate, too. The Kitchen also opens into the Family Room with high ceilings and triple windows overlooking the back yard. The first floor has a Family Powder Room & Formal Powder Room, a bar area, and a gorgeous Study with floor to ceiling bookcases, 10 crown molding, built-in desk, filing drawers, and cabinets - all crafted by Amish craftsmen. The staircase leading to the 2nd floor splits at a landing overlooking the back gardens and leads to a wool carpeted 2nd level.
