A Pop of Color Does a Dream Kitchen Make

This Montco beauty is a bespoke masterpiece tucked into a two-acre parcel of land in the Wissahickon Creek valley. The six-bedroom, five-bath abode, asking $1,650,000 features gas-lit wood fireplaces, a cantilevered "Martini" deck off the sitting room, and an expansive kitchen designed by Joanne Hudson. Outside, the main deck (which has a large spa integrated into it,) overlooks the heated pool and waterfall. There's also a large outdoor stone shower. Originally an early 18th-century farmhouse, the residence was added to twice: once in the 19th century then again in the 20th century. But one would argue that it's the 21st century that has done the most for the house, what with that dream kitchen complete with granite and stainless steel countertops, two sinks, two dishwashers, and cheerfully colorful range.
