Welcome to 960 Carriage Lane, a classic brick colonial nestled in a beautiful Blue Bell neighborhood. Excellent school district and highly desirable area! Enjoy the peace and quiet of neighborhood living while being just 2 minutes away from all the shops and restaurants on Dekalb Pike! This home has been well maintained and nicely updated throughout. New rear siding and new windows were installed in 2011, new trex decks, paver patio, roof and HVAC in 2006/2007, and a new hot water heater was installed only 2-3 years ago! Step inside to the dramatic, 2-story foyer complete with hardwood flooring and curved staircase. Three big bay windows are located throughout the first floor, allowing for loads of natural light to stream inside. The spacious living room includes crown molding, newer flooring, a bay window and a set of French doors that lead into the family room (keep closed for privacy or open up when entertaining). The huge eat-in kitchen was updated in 2010 with all new cabinetry, corian counter tops, tile flooring, tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances: built-in microwave, gas range and dishwasher. A peninsula with glass front cabinetry above nicely separates the main portion of the kitchen from the sun-drenched breakfast area. This is great for additional prep and storage space. A second set of cabinetry sits beside the entrance to the formal dining room. Custom wine storage sits above the hanging cabinets, making this area great to use as a dry bar or coffee station. A beautiful family room opens nicely to the kitchen and breakfast nook and features a built-in wet bar, glass patio doors, recessed lighting and a brick accent wall with a wood-burning fireplace. This layout is ideal for hosting dinner parties and holiday gatherings. Not only is there a double door pantry with tons of storage space in the kitchen, but the large laundry/mudroom are just steps away with even more room for storage. The laundry area leads out to the rear deck and to the over-sized two car garage. This set up makes it a breeze for hauling in groceries. The elegant dining room has been nicely updated with newer flooring, chair-rail and crown molding. Is a finished basement a must?? Check it off the list! Brand new vinyl flooring and paint was just recently added to this additional 620 sq ft of finished living space. A video projector comes included with the home, all you need to do is add a screen and you got a home theater, or the perfect spot to watch the Philadelphia Eagles this Fall. Turn this into a TV/media room, playroom, home gym, you name it! The opportunities are endless. Is closet space in the master bedroom important? Then you are going to love the master suite! There are two huge walk-in closets in the master, and on top of the closet space, an additional sitting room is ready to be used! A skylight provides extra sunlight into this great bonus room. Use it as a home office, a nursey, private tv room or turn it into the ultimate walk-in closet of your dreams! The master bathroom includes a jacuzzi tub, stall shower and oversized, dual sink vanity. The three remaining spare bedrooms are all nicely sized, and all come with ceiling fans, neutral paint and roomy closets. Outdoor entertaining will be easy at this home. Two trex decks are joined together by a custom paver patio. This patio includes a stone wall and built-in lighting. Use one side for a BBQ and the other for seating. A horseshoe pit is also available to use well into late Fall. Why wait? Give us a call today to schedule your private tour!
