Welcome to one of Old Cherry Hills most secluded properties. This estate offers tranquility beyond the gated entry, with almost 3 acres of trees, water features and gardens. The grounds include a 1/2-acre pond with a waterfall, raised bed gardens, a fire pit and a putting green. The property was once designed to be an Audubon Society bird sanctuary and commonly hosts Great Blue Heron, Kingfisher, owl and various species of duck. Little Dry Creek, spanned by an iron bridge, runs through the Northside of the property, where peach and apple trees bloom. Mature trees impart a canopy effect providing total privacy. The main house is a California split-level, with a low-sloping roof, large bay windows and deep eaves. Built in the distinctive "drunk brick" style. A walled entry garden leads to the custom front doors, beyond which is a foyer, graced by hand-carved doors. The main level includes a great room with coffered ceiling, and an adjacent living room with views of the pond. The large kitchen includes a dining area, a walk-in pantry, and updated appliances. The formal dining room overlooks the entry garden and has exposed brick, skylights, a vaulted ceiling and an antique oak bar. One half a flight up is the primary suite, with a sitting area and private deck. The five-piece bath boasts a steam shower, jetted tub and regular shower. The second bedroom offers views of the pond and has a private entry to a 3/4 bath. On the lower level are the library, a third bedroom with a full bath, and a lovely office/bedroom with access to a 3/4 bath. From the office, sliding glass doors lead to the private courtyard and the deck overlooking the pond.
