This is a 4 bedroom/3 bath Craftsman home designed and built by Central PA's premier custom builder, Musser Home Builders. It incorporates an exterior finish of stone, siding and shakes which compliments the wooded lot and surroundings. That relationship between the environment and building materials portrays itself very clearly in the myriad of tones and textures used in the home's interior. The walls are painted soothing colors of blue and grey. Stacked stone yields an element of continuity as you gaze at the fireplace and turn to view the kitchen through a stone archway. The large format tile on the kitchen floor provides a contrast to the distressed hardwood in the great room and hallway. As you enter the foyer, you are immediately drawn to the fireplace that extends from the floor to vaulted ceiling. A rustic, reclaimed beam serves as the mantle and the stained collar ties complete the Craftsman feel. The Marvin Integrity windows with transoms give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the stillness and virtue of what TheWoods at Barnitz has to offer. In fact, from almost every angle in the home there is an architectural component which yields a moment's pause. The kitchen is an interesting color combination of grey and stained Shaker style cabinets with soft close hardware. Granite counters and slate finish kitchen appliances cap the look. The coffee bar has become an instant success in the open kitchen, dining area and great room open concept. This kitchen design received the gold award in the 2017 Parade of Homes and the interior of the home was voted "gold" as well. From the three-car garage, you enter the mudroom where there is a convenient bench and cubbies for coats and shoes. There is also a corridor which extends from the mudroom to the foyer. You can access the laundry room and bathroom from this hallway as well as the kitchen and great room. The use of surface mounted barn doors has been incorporated in the kitchen and pantry areas. This accessible home design accommodates "empty nesters" with wider doorways and first floor master suite which includes a curbless tile shower. Energy conservation was a major focus in the building process. The low-E2 windows, tankless water heater and a 96% efficiency propane furnace contribute greatly to this end. The high standards for insulation and air sealing ensure that this home will perform well above the industry standards for a lifetime. There is also a passive radon mitigation system to provide a healthy environment. Every season here offers something new and different, but equally amazing. It quickly becomes evident why this place is magical. When you are here, you experience a level of peace and tranquility. Come out and see for yourself. Open houses are held the 2nd and 4th Sundays of every month, except holiday weekends. As an added incentive, the Builder will offer $25,000 in assistance to the Buyer if property sells by July 2018.
