Privacy at a French Country Retreat…Welcome to 2672 Hay Creek Road. The wooded driveway leads you up to a secluded home where you will find an elegant 3-bedroom 3-bath home with an arched porch entrance and gardens surrounding the house and 2 garages. As you step into the foyer, the Moroccan travertine stone floor draws you into the 14-foot vaulted great room with 8- inch-wide hickory hardwood floors and a stone wood-burning fireplace. Connected to the great room is the gourmet kitchen (remodeled in 2019) which features granite countertops, tiled backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, a spacious 3-sided bar/seating area, and a dining room overlooking the woods outside. Next is the master bedroom suite which features a vaulted ceiling, 8-inch hickory floors, a half turret seating area with views overlooking the tree canopy, access to the back deck, and a large walk-in closet. The connected master bath (remodeled in 2019) is elegantly appointed using Italian porcelain tile, a double bowl Carrara marble vanity, a glass shower, a free-standing soaking tub under an arched window, a ceramic heater and radiant
floor heating. Continuing on the main floor is an office with a vaulted ceiling, 8-inch hickory floors with a large arched window showing views of a rock wall and woods; a powder room and a mud room/laundry room with a washer and dryer (included), dog shower, laundry tub, coat closet, large pantry, and a dog door leading to the kennel. The rear deck off the great room features seating and dining areas with patio furniture and expansive umbrellas (included) to entertain on warm summer evenings. The home also has a 2-car attached oversized garage with a garden potting area and a large storage area overhead. Since the home is built into the hillside, the lower-level features walk-out access and views. The foundation uses a 10-foot Superior wall system with spray foam insulation and rubber insulated flooring for comfort and energy efficiency. There are two large carpeted bedrooms with radiant floor heating and abundant closet space - one bedroom features a half turret. The full bathroom also has radiant heating in the floor. The main feature of this level, however, is the 22 x 22-foot game/rec room with decorative wainscoting, 5-inch cherry hardwood floors, an electric fireplace, a display wall of built-in shelves, a wet bar w/ seating, a beverage fridge, a microwave oven and a dishwasher. Double French doors off the game/rec room lead to a paver patio with outdoor lounge furniture (included) where the guests you are entertaining can mingle. The 36 by 24-foot detached carriage house garage with a lighted copper cupola and gable end details maintains the French Country exterior design. It offers 2 oversized car bays with epoxy floors, propane heating, electric wiring for shop items, 2 outside water hydrants and a bank barn entrance in the rear for easy access to the unfinished insulated upper storage level with structured wiring (for ethernet, cable and phone) should you choose to finish this space. This home was custom built in 2002 by Stoltzfus Enterprises of Elverson, PA with amenities and efficiency considerations including Anderson windows, ceiling fans in vaulted rooms, thermostat-controlled attic fans, radiant and geothermal heating, structured wiring (for ethernet cable and phone) and landscape lighting able to be controlled from various parts of the home/garages. Included is an automatic 22 KW water-cooled Generac backup generator with a 1,000-gallon underground propane tank that is able to run home appliances, heating or AC for 2-weeks. Also, attached to the home is an outdoor dog kennel and a 5-acre invisible dog fence encircling the home and wood trails. This 16.132-acre property (clean-and-green) affords walks thru gardens on the property with your morning coffee and hikes thru the wood trails. It is within walking distance of the Horseshoe Trail and state game lands with French Creek State Park close by.
