Montgomery County Wow! Homes: Gatsby-Like Estate, Stone Colonial, Stately Villa

“In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.” - The Great Gatsby

The brand new ”Preserve at Worcester, Chelsea Plan” in Lansdale has just finished construction, and Jay Gatsby would probably be proud.

The $709,996 mansion seems to hold the essence of a country estate brooding on the distant shores of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.

The home includes 4 beds, 3.5 baths, and 3,773 square feet.

Filled with natural sunlight, there is a country-style eat-in kitchen, a fomal dining room, and a two-story foyer with a double-turned staircase.

The Preserve is on 2540 Skippack Pike.

A Kimberton Colonial home in French Creek Manor tops the list of compelling homes for sale in the Phoenixville area.

This well-landscaped half-acre home has hardwood flooring throughout, and includes granite countertops, multiple skylights, and a special “Kimberton Room” that has a beamed ceiling, circle top window and more.

Walk-in closets, built-in bookshelves and elegant boudoirs are just a few of the other features of 808 Camp Circle.

Meanwhile, in Horsham Township, a stone front Colonial Home on 694 Lindsay Way is for sale in Horsham Township.

Lush landscaping surrounds the home, and a stone retaining wall gives it a distinctive, unique apperance.

It includes “impressive millwork” that the sellers say is uncommon in today’s market.

There is also a bonus room over the garage.

The 4 bedroom home includes .86 total acreage and is for sale for $729,900.

A home with an immaculately manicured lawn and stately country-club feel to it is on the selling block in Norristown.

116 Hancock Avenue may appear simple from the outside - it has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 1,612 square feet on a half acre lot.

Inside features include an attic, flooring ranging from hardwood and linoleum to vinyl. There is also a detached garage with another 288 square feet inside.

But the main attraction may be the rolling lawn, neatly manicured garden and brilliantly green trees covering the property.

It’s for sale for $245,000, with an estimated monthly mortgage of $908.
