1009 LORIEN DR Gwynedd Valley, PA 19002

This beautiful brick home, nestled in the heart of Gwynedd Valley's most desirable neighborhood, has been masterfully renovated with rare and beautiful materials in every corner. In 2008 the current owners completely gutted and rebuilt most of the interior of the home, walls, ceilings, floors, HVAC, electrical, and even the staircases and fireplaces were replaced. Original details like stained glass windows were carefully maintained. Reclaimed wood from 19th century barns in the Mid-West was used in the towering post and beam construction of the grand family room, as well as the stunning wide-plank floors in the family room, formal dining, and executive office. Floor to ceiling windows in the family room set off the spectacular two story fireplace, rebuilt with stone. The family room opens onto the chef's kitchen with two islands, top grade appliances, and Italian tile laid over radiant heated floors. One island features a custom made two ton butcher-block prep surface and built-in beverage center; the second a copper prep sink and bar seating for five. This kitchen is a chef's dream with oversize copper sink, top-of-the-line Wolf Six-burner stove with griddle and double oven, separate convection oven, microwave, warming drawer, and Sub Zero side-by-side refrigerator. Off the kitchen, a 1900's reclaimed church door opens to a custom built, temperature controlled wine cellar that can hold 500 /- bottles of wine. A second floor to ceiling stone fireplace stands in a quiet sitting room off the formal living room, surrounded by windows. The living room has a large bay window, with views over the front lawn. Both the front and side staircases were completely rebuilt from hand carved mahogany during the 2008 renovation. A full bathroom was added off the executive office with a hand painted sink, and slate countertop. The mud room has a farm sink, custom made of soapstone, with industrial faucet, built-in cabinetry and an additional "Costco room" for storage. The screened in porch looks out over the park-like back yard, with mature trees, regulation size bocce court, and fire pit. A new patio was recently constructed using materials reclaimed from a project in Philadelphia. Additional features: Fully finished basement with movie theater and surround sound, built-in sound system throughout the first floor, and screen porch, skylight in master bath, office/exercise rm in master, and two new bathrooms on 2nd flr.
