13 BARLEY SHEAF LN Schwenksville, PA 19473

Picturesque is how to describe this French beauty that sits high above the Perkiomen Creek on a partially wooded almost 5 acre lot! Being tucked away at the end of a cobblestone lined cul-de-sac you will truly feel like you are in your own Private Getaway. For the outdoor enthusiast you are just an easy walk down to the stone bank that allows access for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and fishermen alike or you can just enjoy the sweet sounds of nature by lounging on the huge deck. Even the surrounding area of Perkiomen Township is made for the nature lover with many parks and trails just minutes away. The 20 Mile Perkiomen Trail is perfect for biking, walking, jogging, or horseback riding. It connects to the Schuylkill River Trail and Audubon Loop. The Central Perkiomen Valley Park which extends over 800 acres has playgrounds, picnic tables, and has places for fishing along the Perkiomen Creek and Spring Mountain Ski Resort is an easy drive. If history is of interest across from the entrance onto Barley Sheaf Lane sits Pennypacker Mills, a Colonial Revival mansion just shy of 300 years old surrounded by 170 acres of farmland or you are only a short drive to the Historic Village of Skippack with 5 star dining, shopping and the Skippack Recreation Pool Association. The beauty of the area and the property isn't lost on the inside as the 2.5 stories of windows in the Family Room and numerous tall windows and skylights throughout allow the outside in with the full 180-degree views. With a Grand Two-Story Foyer entry and Curved Staircase, the interior of this home will leave nothing to be desired. The Main Level features a stately Study with floor to ceiling built-ins, an expansive Kitchen with endless counter space and two pantry closets, one being a walk-in, and the oversized sun room, formal living and dining rooms allow for endless areas for entertaining. The Family Room showcases a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace (that can be used as either a wood burning or gas). Choose either the main or back staircase to guide you to the second level with a princess (or prince) suite, and two additional bedrooms with a connecting jack-and-jill bathroom. The Main Bedroom is it's own cozy retreat featuring a sitting area with double sided fireplace you can enjoy from your soaking tub too, massive walk-in closet with custom shelving, and a beautiful bathroom. Once again choose from either a spiral staircase or second back staircase to complete your tour of the home in the partially finished walk out basement with its own fireplace. There is plenty storage in the second half of the basement. Sitting in between accesses to 476 and 422 and close to major routes such as 73, 29, and 113, you get the feeling of being away without actually having to be!
