Ranch/Rambler

As you approach this lovely brick and cedar home you will start to take in the views that become all but panoramic. 1080 Mahlon Drive is perched on a gentle rise in scenic Bern Township. This one owner home was built on a double lot to accommodate the needs and dreams of a young and growing family. Meticulously kept and improved for the next beneficiary is this expanded ranch style home. Park outside the two car, side entry, expanded garage and follow the front walk to main entry. Here you will want to turn and take in the northeastern view of the Schuylkill River Valley and the Blue Mountains beyond (The view is as good or better from the great room ). Turn again and proceed into the ceramic foyer with ample furniture space and two large closets for storage and convenience. By now you have been enticed to look if not enter the huge great room that helps define this lovely custom home. This family friendly room was expanded and upgraded with a floor to ceiling fireplace, wood beam, vaulted ceiling and three walls with windows to take in the abundance of natural light often a daily presence on "the hill". Leaving the great room you enter the well appointed kitchen where views of the artistic back yard start to be appreciated. This bright, naturally lit kitchen is accompanied by the adjoining dining area with sliding door to the rear 12' x 24' covered patio. To save the rear yard tour for last, you can explore the rear hall with main level laundry facilities and access to the expanded, high ceiling garage. Leaving the dining area toward the front hall we proceed to the bedroom hallway with two bedrooms to the front and the primary bedroom straight ahead. Double lighted closets abound in the bedrooms for plenty of storage and convenience. The main bedroom bath has a whirlpool tub for those relaxing needs in our busy lives. Now, let us go to the rear yard where one will spend countless hours as the sun sets and the cool of the evening enhances the peace and quiet to this secluded haven. The present owner has transformed the rear lawn into an artist's canvas, with natural elements to attract birds, and provide herbs and vegetables for the dinner table. To add to the comfort, efficiency and security of this rural suburban home there is a 2' x 6' construction, a backup generator, advanced water treatment systems and if needed school bus pick-up in the neighborhood. This sale is contingent on Seller's purchasing their daughter's home. They will require a lease back for a short time.
