Property Description
Welcome to 859 Gainsway Road! This custom built beauty, in the highly coveted Carriage Hill neighborhood, has been loved, enjoyed, meticulously maintained and lived in so gently to this day by the original owners that it presents as a home perhaps only half of its actual age. Set on a beautiful, gently sloping .6 acre lot, curb appeal is in no short supply as you make your way inside to be awed by quality, charm and design. The majestic, 2 story foyer, complete with elegant winding staircase to the upper floor, makes a grand first impression. A true center hall design, to the left is the spacious formal dining room with great light, charming built- in corner cupboards, and direct easy access to the kitchen. To the right of the foyer, the enormous living room, spanning the entire depth of the home from front to back and centered around the beautiful wood mantled fireplace, showcases the gorgeous, incredibly well kept hardwood floors that continue throughout the home. Enjoy the glorious natural light throughout the day through large windows on 3 walls with the huge picture window overlooking the rear. The smart design of this custom home has large picture windows with rear views from all 1st level areas. Accessed from the living room is a covered porch, truly a secret oasis providing tucked in privacy. The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2019, features Quartzite countertops, stainless appliances including a Gas range, tons of storage and prep space, again expansive windows offering views of the large, private backyard, and countertop eating space. The breakfast area is positioned to enjoy views over the rear. There is direct patio access enabling easy BBQ and entertaining. Just beyond the kitchen/breakfast room is a spacious family room featuring another wood burning fireplace and a sliding glass door onto the rear brick patio.. Rounding out the main floor is a powder room, convenient laundry room with tub, access to the large, attached 2 car garage and full basement. Upstairs you are greeted by an expansive 2nd floor landing and a floor plan that the homeowner is sure to love. From the top of the stairs, the 2nd level branches off to lead in one direction to 3 great bedrooms and the large main bathroom. Designed to provide privacy, the primary suite is set on the opposite side of the upper hall. Featuring great size, spacious closets and private bath, the primary suite also boasts its own outdoor balcony deck that is accessed through the primary bedroom and provides a wonderful, quiet spot with views of the backyard. Gleaming hardwood floors continue throughout the 2nd level as well. The lower level basement has been fully waterproofed ('24 with warranty) to eliminate the possibility of any dampness. There was never any water intrusion but this is an example of the high level of maintenance this property has enjoyed. Ready for finishing with exterior access in place for easy permitting, this is fabulous additional space awaiting your design to suit your family's needs. See the full list of improvements provided (including new HVAC in '22 and all new ROOF in '23!) for comfort on the impeccable care given to this property. A full exploration of the location reveals how idyllic it really is set on a large, private lot in a neighborhood of custom homes and mature trees. Silver Lake and the neighborhood activities at the common area access to the lake is yet another wonderful feature. Within walking distance of the township complex where you'll find the pool, library, tennis and lighted basketball courts, and sports fields, this is just a mile walk into wonderful Yardley Boro with coffee shops, restaurants, and access to the canal tow path.
