About This Property

Welcome to 1425 Olmsted Drive-an exceptional home offering luxury, privacy, and first-class amenities in the prestigious Toll Brothers community of Red Lion Chase. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath property boasts over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, paired with a backyard oasis that feels like your own private resort.

From the moment you arrive, the home's impressive curb appeal sets the tone. The striking combination of stone and upgraded Hardie board siding is beautifully complemented by professionally landscaped gardens, kept vibrant by a 9-zone irrigation system.

Step through the custom cut glass front door with dual sidelights into an 18-foot tall foyer, where a grand curved staircase makes a stunning first impression. To the right, a spacious room awaits, perfect for a private office or cozy den. To the left, an elegant formal dining room with a tray ceiling, intricate tile design, crown molding, and a beautiful bay window invites you to host unforgettable gatherings.

At the heart of the home is a dramatic two-story great room anchored by a gas fireplace, oversized lower windows, and striking Palladian windows above-outfitted with remote-controlled blinds for effortless light control and privacy.  The open-concept kitchen is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, a raised breakfast bar, a cozy breakfast nook, and a butler's pantry that seamlessly connects to the dining room.

The first-floor main suite offers the ultimate retreat with two spacious walk-in closets, a luxurious custom bathroom, its own private thermostat for personalized comfort, and direct access to the outdoor living space. Step out to your private oasis featuring a covered hot tub, a two-level Trex deck with a retractable awning, and a sparkling saltwater in-ground pool-all backing to a protected preserve for unmatched privacy and tranquility.

On the second floor, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, providing flexible options for family, guests, or additional workspace.

Additional thoughtful upgrades include a Carrier Infiniti 3-zone HVAC system for optimal comfort, automatic solar blinds for easy light control, a built-in outdoor gas line ready for your grill, and a professionally finished three-car garage with an epoxy-coated floor. The home is also equipped with a surround sound system (with speakers included), an automatic venting system in the basement, and first-floor laundry hookups for added convenience.

This is truly a rare opportunity to own a home that perfectly blends timeless design, luxurious upgrades, first-floor living, and a resort-style backyard retreat.

Ideally situated with seamless access to Route 1 and I-95, 1425 Olmsted Drive offers an unmatched combination of luxury and convenience.
