''The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.'' So said British philosophical entertainer Alan Watts. That dance can take the form of many steps. Sometimes change is abrupt and heart-wrenching. However, with time, dancing to the rhythms of sudden change can bring you to a new, beautiful chapter of growth and independence. Sometimes, change is premeditated; a thorough and thoughtful plan that brings together old convention and new perspective. And no home in The Abingtons embodies that considered blend of old and new like 1115 Lily Lake Road. What started as a modest 1890 farm home over time grew into a home and property that challenges norms in interesting and surprising ways, ultimately creating a new style that is modern, tasteful, detailed, and sublime. Designed by a U-Penn trained architect, this home will wow you from the moment you pull in the driveway. Located on one of the most sought after roads in Waverly, 1115 Lily Lake perfectly blends old and new, with nods to the humble farmhouse beginnings juxtaposed against true Scandinavian minimalist principles, with each material carefully contemplated for both function and aesthetic. The original space features a clean, modern, and open kitchen/living room, spacious dining room, and generous office. Upstairs you'll find three ample bedrooms and an appealing full bath. The new volume contains a large, open living room with high, vaulted ceilings, a secluded den, and a comfortable primary en suite bed/bath/laundry. And don't forget the second story loft for just about any use imaginable!Outside you'll find lush and mature landscaping interwoven with gravel walking paths and stone steps, a custom gas fire feature, and a relaxing in-ground pool to cool off and enjoy the private, natural surrounds.
