Description

From the moment you arrive at 1974 Armstrong Drive, you’re invited into a story of charm, thoughtful design and a well-loved home. In the desirable Upper Gwynedd township within North Penn School District, this expanded 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick-front colonial stands proudly, framed by a picturesque Japanese maple and a welcoming brick paver path. With copper-topped bay windows accenting the facade, the double front doors lead you into a two-story foyer. To your left, the living room draws you in with a bright bay window, setting the scene for relaxed evenings. On your right, a formal dining room, also bathed in natural light from another bay window, is a perfect gathering space, complete with elegant hardwood flooring that spans much of the home. Moving down the front hallway, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the home: a spacious family room featuring a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a custom Marvin French door that opens to a 24’ x 16’ composite deck. This space extends seamlessly onto a 12’ x 14’ stone patio, offering views of a flat, fenced backyard complete with a separately fenced organic vegetable garden with raised beds, perfect for gardening enthusiasts. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and ceramic tile flooring, all flowing into an expansive 22’ x 14’ great room. With its vaulted ceiling, oversized picture window, and built-in cabinets paired with window box seating and hidden storage, this sunlit great room is an ideal spot to relax or entertain. Two doors from this space lead to a private rear staircase, which guides you directly to the secluded primary bedroom suite. Upstairs, hardwood floors lead the way to a generously sized primary suite that feels like a retreat within a retreat. The suite features an expansive 20’ x 10’ closet, dressing area, and laundry space, ensuring convenience is never an afterthought. The primary bath includes a double vanity, a relaxing soaking tub, and a separate shower. Three additional well-sized bedrooms and a full hall bath complete this level, providing ample space for family and guests alike. Additional upgrades make this home as practical as it is beautiful, including updated Marvin replacement windows, two newer split HVAC units for the expanded great room and primary closet, and a newer roof (2021) and well maintained home systems. This home’s location is the perfect balance of suburban peace and urban convenience, with quick access to charming Skippack Village and Lansdale Borough’s vibrant shopping and dining, plus close proximity to the PA Turnpike, Routes 309, and 202. 1974 Armstrong Drive isn’t just a house – it’s the backdrop to your next chapter, ready to welcome you home.
