Property Description
Be prepared to experience the most magnificent home and property currently offered for sale anywhere in the region. Perched majestically with its all brick exterior on a 12.93 acre end of cul-de-sac parcel, 5 Knowles Creek offers the sophisticated buyer the ultimate combination of size, scale, luxury, privacy and opportunity! Located in one of most coveted neighborhoods in Upper Makefield ( w/No HOA ), the owners have meticulously re-engineered, re-imagined, and rebuilt the home and its infrastructure since their purchase in 2018. The statistics are impressive and the superlatives are many – 12.93 Acres; 16,000 sq. ft of finished living space on 4 floors; 6 Garages, 6 Bedrooms, 5 Full & 2 Half Baths; ”Almost” Olympic Sized Length Pool. The double door Foyer entry reveals a sweeping staircase to the bridge overlook and upper hall. To the left is the formal Dining Room, to the right the formal Living Room w/fireplace. Immediately evident is the spectacular millwork, gleaming tile, and hardwood floors. The two-story Family Room features an incredible box beam ceiling, fireplace, with side ante room for more intimate seating and entertainment. A cherry paneled Office is tucked away for quiet work or study, and has its own private outdoor patio. The heart of the main floor is the remarkable Kitchen. Replete with multiple counters, sinks, refrigerators, freezers and high-end appliances, space to spread out is not on issue. A mini-family room and breakfast area adjoin the main area, each with walls of windows. A walk- in Pantry, Butlers Pantry, Mud Room, Laundry Room, two Half Baths, and second staircase complete the splendid main floor. The upper level has a spacious hall and overlook to the foyer and family room. Unquestionably, the Primary Suite, closet and bath are the most stunning, yet tranquil you will find. The Main Bedroom has an entry hall w/ coffee bar, hideaway ceiling TV, see through glass fireplace and Sitting Room overlooking the pool. The closet is larger than most one-bedroom apartments, with built-ins, seating areas, massive storage, and adjoining wrapping/craft room and second laundry room. The stylish, customized millwork is of the highest quality. The Bath is resort like, with enchanting walk-in shower and multiple sprayers, soaking tub, double vanities, and private toilet closet. Three bright and airy spacious Bedrooms (one with a second floor loft) with well appointed baths complete the second floor. The third floor features one amazing Bedroom/Suite, with large entry hall, two sitting areas, huge bath and huge walk-in closet. The lower level will be the envy of any designer, with natural stone abounding, walnut bar, glorious Wine Room, multi-sport simulator, entertainment area with spacious wall for as large a TV as you can find. The game area and beautiful dollhouse are a kids dream! Bedroom 6 w/attached full bath and two large storage areas complete the lower level. Outside, the resort like rear features a full Kitchen with adjustable covering, firepit seating area, play area, and the most magnificent pool with Jericho Mountain as the backdrop. WOW! As if this isn’t enough, the home also boasts smart technology with home automation designed by Brandon Hoishik, for many aspects of the property. Additional features are Crestron Lights/Switches/Outlets, Floor Logic Water Protection System; Whole House Generator, Central Vacuum, 800 amp Electric Service, Rubberized membrane on entire Foundation; Stormwater Management and more. Ideally located in the heart of Upper Makefield and the Council Rock School District, minutes to 1-95, Trenton Mercer Airport, and to the wonderful towns of New Hope, Lambertville, and Newtown. 60 Minutes to Philadelphia, 90 Minutes to NYC. To replicate this home and property as new construction, a budget of $12-$15 million and 24 months of time will be needed. Why bother? Just move right in to this immaculate, mint condition home, unpack your bags and enjoy life to the fullest!
