Located in Berlin's desirable Carriage Stop community, this stately "Ashdale" model, embodies the understated grandeur of modern executive-style living. Situated on a spacious lot that backs up to common grounds, the home's attractive curb appeal is enhanced by brick exterior accents and well-manicured landscaping. Inside, the impressive 2-story foyer welcomes visitors with an beckoning view into the comfortable family room. An opulent, crystal chandelier crowns the soaring entryway space and complements the dramatic, cascading staircase.  Setting the tone for the rest of the home, the foyer's elegant wood flooring and neutral color pallet are echoed throughout the interior, while tall ceilings and expansive windows make the home bright and airy. The easy-flowing transitional floorplan melds elements of a traditional center-hall colonial with a modern, open-concept design to create a cohesive layout that can work for almost any lifestyle.   Flanking the foyer are the front-facing living room and dining room.  Whether you dress these rooms up as formal entertaining spaces or dress them down for practical purposes, these rooms have the versatility to suit your needs for both form and function. Adjoining the dining room is the large, eat-in kitchen where the polished oak cabinets are complemented by the coordinating ceramic tile flooring, Rosewood granite counter-tops, gleaming mosaic back-splash, and sleek stainless steel appliances. The kitchen's breakfast room  provides a casual eating space that overlooks and presents access to the incredible backyard oasis. Truly the heart of the home, the kitchen lies between the family room and dining room providing optimal accessibility and engagement while entertaining or enjoying quality family time.  At once contemporary and comfortable, the 2-story family room is highlighted by a gas-burning fireplace, cathedral ceiling, arched windows, and plush carpeting. These elements combine to make the family room feel upscale and sophisticated yet relaxed and livable. Adjacent to the family room, the private study can double as guest bedroom (or 5th bedroom) on the main floor. Rounding out the main-floor is the powder room and the laundry room with its convenient utility sink and access to the 2-car garage. Once upstairs, you'll be overlooking the two-story family room from the grand catwalk. Here, the lavish master suite features a private sitting room, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with double-sink vanity, soaking tub, and stall shower. Three more generously proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level. Meanwhile, the sprawling walk-out basement features a 3rd full bathroom and offers plenty of room to meet all your storage needs or you may decide to finish off this area into more usable living space. Envision installing a home theater, a home gym, a billiards/game room, a colorful playroom,  or an  in-law suite. Best of all, the sliding glass door and daylight windows infuse the space with natural light and provide easy access to the lush, green yard that offers ample room for recreation and play. Outside, the backyard is an entertainer's dream with the beautiful, semi- inground pool taking center stage. The Trex decking around the pool creates a perfect lounge area to relax and unwind in the summer sun, while the retractable awning provides a welcome respite from the heat and rain. Vinyl picket fencing encloses the yard without impeding visibility to the calming views of the woods beyond the cleared common area.  Add to all this the irresistible hot tub and the end result is an incredible outdoor space that is engaging, attractive and just plain fun.  With so much to offer, plus easy access to local shopping, dining venues, and main travel routes to Philadelphia and Shore Points, this home is sure to please.  Don't forget to check out the virtual tour.
