Gilbertsville, PA 19525 213 Cross Road

This home is a multi-generational living masterpiece, and it was constructed by one of this regions premier custom builders Donald Heimbach. This is not a cookie-cutter home design. It was masterfully engineered to have three distinct living spaces on the upper and lower levels of the home. Its a home where each generation can enjoy their own private living space. The residence is currently utilizing five rooms as bedrooms, but it was cleverly designed so it could offer as many as seven bedrooms with minimal alterations. When you enter the front door, you will be wowed by the vaulted ceilings reaching nearly 20-feet high, skylights, and a wall of windows overlooking the spectacular 1,000+ sq. ft. rear deck with views of the huge, manicured lawn. This modern, contemporary style open living space will stop you in your tracks as you enter and survey the living room, kitchen, and dining areas which each area has their own place in this thoughtful layout. Your eyes will then be drawn to a circular steel staircase leading to a massive loft overlooking the kitchen and living room from ahigh. The loft also boasts doors to an outside perch overlooking the rear deck and lawn. Off the living room area, you will find a space now utilized as a two-desk work-from-home room, a powder room, plus a huge pantry and laundry room just steps from the kitchen. And you have just started your tour! The spacious master bedroom is also located on the main floor, and it features an open whirlpool tub, patio doors to the rear deck and a master bathroom boasting sinks, shower, and toilet room as well as a huge walk-in closet with abundant space for dressing. On the opposite side of the home, you will find what many would call in-law quarters. This area offers a bedroom, separate full bath, and its own spacious living room, plus access to the outside, as well as access to garages in this home. This space is located directly adjacent to the kitchen and the main laundry room area evidence of truly thoughtful multi-generation living design. But wait, there is more! The lower level of the home was designed for yet another generation. This level has a daylight walkout and windows in each room which offer abundant daylight. One section of the lower level is like a small home of its own with three large bedrooms, a full bath with a spectacular tile walk-in shower, a spacious kitchenette, and its own huge living room area. This space can be accessed by steps from the main floor, a door leading up to the garage area or the patio doors to the rear yard. This space is adjacent to additional unfinished space to use for whatever you can imagine. The main mechanical system for the home is located on this level including the 200-amp electrical service, gas heating/AC, plus a massive on-demand hot water heating system. This unfinished portion of the home reveals the quality construction and use of engineered floor joist indicative of solid home construction. The outside of this home is equally appealing. The mature landscaping offers privacy from the neighbors, but a nearness which allows a sense of community. This 2.37-acre lot offer plenty of space to play, watch the deer grazing or just enjoying nature. If you hope to be a homesteader, you will love the extensive vegetable and flower farming area to the side of this home. This property has a massive macadam parking area and driveway leading up to the 3-car garage. There is more than enough space for everyone to park even when you host huge events inside or out. This property is on a flag lot, so you also can enjoy an extra level of privacy without living out in the boondocks! This home is located just minutes from Rt. 100, and just a few more minutes from the Rt. 422 corridor. Plus, you are in the triangle between Reading, Allentown, and Philadelphia literally close to everything. This property is the perfect place to call home!
