Description

Retreat living at The Ridings of Whitpain. Welcome to 285 Ridings Way, which was the original model home of this established community that offers a wonderful centralized location, but that makes you feel far away from the hustle and bustle. This beautifully updated and classic 2 story foyer home has all the bells, whistles, charm and amazing square footage to include a 1st floor in-law quarters with exterior access! Pull up to this gorgeous property and immediately notice the attention to detail with the brand new cedar roof, hardscaped driveway, 2 car attached garage and stunning front entry.

The first floor has an amazing circular flow to include large living spaces such as the gourmet kitchen with upgraded granite countertop and backsplash and appliances that open right up to the sunken great room with pin oak floors and custom built-ins. The formal living room, dining room and office are all large in size. The perk of main level laundry is a given in this incredibly designed home and is accessed right off the kitchen. The in-law or au pair suite has a full bath, great living space and exterior access for convenience. The backyard oasis at this home is out of a magazine. No expense was spared in creating this beautiful entertainment space to include an outdoor kitchen area with built-in grill, fridge, kegerator and countertop. The sitting walls, paver style covered patio and lush landscape that surrounds it is truly magical. Privacy and tranquility are the 2 words that come to mind when describing this space and how it elevates the property. Upstairs you’ll find large and naturally sunlit bedrooms to include a large primary suite with walk-in closets, a large bathroom with soaking tub, a glass surround fireplace and vaulted ceiling. The lower level is partially finished and offers a great rec room space, another bath and tons of storage space. This home is customized throughout and it’s been loved by the original owners since it was built. It’s hard to find a home that has all of the upgrades that this one does! Large windows, vaulted ceilings, beautiful millwork and an amazingly versatile floor plan makes this home special. Come see for yourself!
