A sensational home set on a fantastic lot in a beautiful verdant Fort Washington neighborhood has hit the market. “Land really is the best art” Andy Warhol once said, and he was spot on in describing this 1.13 acre marvelous piece of ground! You are about to discover what special means. This 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home has been skillfully expanded to fit a myriad of needs. Because of its unique multi levels there are possibilities of creating an in-law suite, a home office or basically providing a standard haven for all. Get a glimpse of “home” as the two-story entry beckons you into the heart of the house. Take in the impressive triad of rooms that are a centralized hub of warmth and activity. ALL vaulted - a 24 x 14 living room, a 14 x 12 dining room, and a 22 x 12 kitchen. A double sized peaked window is the focal point. The very spirit of nature abides at this window as it brings the outdoors in with breathtaking seasonal views. A natural stone corner fireplace also adds to the ambiance. Imagine a snowy night by the fireplace watching Mother Nature’s spectacular show. The owners have described these moments as similar to visiting a mountain retreat. The triad includes a super kitchen with custom designed skillfully crafted wood cabinets, artful backsplash, farm sink, built-in Sub Zero, several clever pantries and a cozy desk nook looking out to the backyard. The dining room with a deep sill window provides its own panoramic view while offering ample space for seating a large group. A powder room is also on this level. Accessed from the kitchen and the living room, the back of the home hosts a custom tiled 15 x 12 sunroom/breakfast room, bathed by sunlit windows on three sides. This inviting room exudes a bucolic setting and has outdoor access to a composite 24 x 20 deck, overlooking an expansive and totally secluded backyard. The natural woodland that has formed over the years is a perfect stage to observe the intricacy of nature amid the backdrop of graceful trees and evergreens. An extra bonus in the back and side yard is a level fenced, grass-filled field size space with perfect capacity for games, gatherings and/or an absolutely wonderful pet paradise! There’s so much room to grow with the remaining levels of the home offering an extra den, a very large office, 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, plus a huge 30 x 22 workout/recreation room on the lowest level. The laundry room is conveniently located at garage level with steps leading directly to the bedrooms. The oversized two car garage offers two ways to enter the home and also gives access to the workout room. The huge 21 x 18 primary bedroom with a dressing alcove, custom designed primary bath and two walk-in closets with built-ins, has the bonus of a very useful exit door. The owners find it handy to use this door to let the dogs out at night directly into the fenced yard. Framed by nature, picture 455 Leah Drive as your exclusive corner of the world. This could be your story. The mechanicals include two natural gas HVAC systems (2020 and 2018) two water heaters (2021 and 2020), reverse osmosis filter system and whole house generator. This terrific home is close to PA Turnpike and major roadways, Septa Rail Lines, Upper Dublin Park system, and top-rated Upper Dublin schools. Seller is offering a One Year Home Warranty. Showings begin on Friday, April 26 at 4 pm.
