Barto, PA 19504

Here is a once in a lifetime home. This is a custom style home that you rarely have the opportunity to buy. Located on a pristine wooded 6.5+ acre lot. The house boasts a wall of windows that provide you and your guests with amazing views of the natural beauty. As you pull into the driveway, you will begin to feel like you are entering an executive retreat, complete with amazing views, gourmet kitchen, digitally controlled shower with body sprays, a private walking path, and outdoor entertaining complete with axe throwing and firepit area. After opening the custom solid 65-pane oak front door you enter a warm greeting space that provides guests with plenty of room to remove shoes and coats. From here, steps lead upstairs to 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths and steps that lead to the main living area. Heading downstairs there is a small hall to the left that provides access to a full bath, large laundry room, and basement. To the right is a warm living area highlighted by exposed wood beams with knotty pine planked ceiling as well as a corner fireplace, and breakfast bar with views of the kitchen. To describe it as a gourmet kitchen is a slight understatement. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf induction stovetop, and wine cooler highlight this area that also provides enough counter space and cabinets for the most discerning of chefs. With a view of the rear outdoor living space, there is not much more a person would want. The last, but definitely not least room to visit on the first floor is the main living room with a 2-story wall of windows that provide a stunning view of nature. Here is where you will want to spend most of your time. With a southern facing view, the changing of the seasons will provide you with a wall of art in your home. Whether it is during the holidays or just a peaceful evening, this room provides warmth and elegance that few others have. Upstairs the large master suite with a vaulted ceiling has an exterior balcony large enough for 2 plus a table. Space enough to enjoy a morning coffee while watching the sun rise. The room also has an interior balcony that overlooks the main living room. The master bath is nicer than most resorts. The oversized walk-in shower has multiple body sprays and is digitally controlled, which enables you to ensure you have the perfect water temperature every time. Additional finishes include remote controlled retractable shades, 4 closets, along with an additional walk-in closet or storage room. Two other bedrooms and a full bath complete the interior. To try and describe the outside in words is difficult. To help summarize the highlights, you will find a large patio with flagstone hardscaping with a stacked stone fireplace, composite decking with a hot tub, a large shed (perfect for a workshop, outside exercise room, or storage), a covered space to dry firewood or any other use, a second shed (currently used for lawn equipment and outdoor storage), a round fire pit with natural log seating, an axe-throwing area, and a walking path through part of the property. There is also a whole house generator that will help keep you safe no matter the weather. If you think the house looks great in the photos and video, just wait until you actually walk through it in person. Whether you use this as your primary home or as a second home retreat, here you will find a place that you will feel real joy coming home to. (Showings begin Thursday.)
