Listing description

Perched on a beautifully landscaped 1.06-acre lot with a gracious setback from the street, 1017 Lorien Drive enjoys a commanding presence on one of Gwynedd Valley's most iconic addresses and offers more than 5,900 square feet of refined living. A dramatic foyer opens to a classic center hall colonial, framed by two divided light french doors leading to the study on the right and a light filled living room on the left. A distinguished first-floor study showcases extensive custom cherry built-ins and rich wainscoting, and functional cork wall covering. The adjoining living room is bathed in light through floor-to-ceiling windows. At the heart of the home, a stunning kitchen remodeled by Blue Bell Kitchens features a Thermador six-burner range with griddle, two built-in Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Wolf oven, granite surfaces throughout, an oversized island with prep sink, walk-in pantry, built-in desk, and a separate wet bar with custom cabinetry. Three skylights flood the space with natural light, and French doors open to a hardscaped patio and pool beyond. Just off the kitchen, the family room invites everyone to linger with floor-to-ceiling built-ins, a coffered ceiling, and a cozy window seat, while a sunroom wrapped in windows captures the gardens year-round. To complete the first floor, a stunning dining room with room to host everyone for the special meals, like Thanksgiving, or just your average Sunday night! Upstairs, the center hall corridor services six generously scaled bedrooms, a full laundry, and second floor office and sitting area. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private sitting room, three walk-in closets, a skylit vanity area, and a spa-inspired bath with cathedral ceilings, additional skylights, his-and-her vanities, and radiant-heat floor. Three additional bedrooms with adjoining baths, a second home office, and a laundry room complete the level. A private two-bedroom suite over the garage offers ideal accommodation for in-laws or an au pair. The lower level extends the living space with a finished entertainment room featuring a built-in bar, plus extensive built-in storage and work bench in the unfinished area. Step outside to your own private resort: a sparkling pool framed by a bluestone patio and cool-deck surround, lush professional landscaping, and two graceful fieldstone retaining walls. A full pool house with kitchenette, full bath, changing area and potting shed/storage completes the picture. A whole-property sprinkler system fed by a private well keeps the grounds effortlessly verdant. Award-winning schools, convenient shopping in Spring House and along Route 309, an easy commute to Philadelphia via the regional rails, and a short drive to the Trenton train station to catch Amtrak to NYC round out a rare opportunity to plant roots on one of Gwynedd Valley's most coveted streets.

School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Montgomery County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
