5 GREAT WOODS LN Malvern, PA 19355

When nothing but the finest will do, this expansive Colonial on 2.3 acres of land dotted with mature trees, is going to please the most discerning homebuyer. With 5,661 square feet of finished living space, including a fully finished basement, the sheer spaciousness of the home is impressive. Located in the highly desirable Malvern neighborhood of Whitehorse in Great Valley School District on an ideal cul-de-sac location, each residence is enhanced by the privacy of large lots and tranquility. Beginning at curbside, the stone and stucco front-facing exterior hints at the elegance of this home, recessed well into the yard, with a driveway off to the side, winding up to the side-entry, three-car garage. Stepping inside, the term grand foyer takes on distinct meaning. The wide, hardwood floored, two-story entrance leads all the way to the back of the home with a seating area against the backdrop of two-story, arched windows overlooking the backyard greenery. The formal areas of the home have an unmistakably regal feel. The dining room’s crown molding, wainscoting, hardwood flooring, and walls accented by royal blue combine to create the perfect atmosphere for a festive holiday dinner party. The formal living room receives abundant natural light from its four tall windows and a warm glow from its fireplace, and is spacious enough to accommodate a grand piano while still affording generous room for seating! French doors connect to an executive office where work-from-home professionals will find exceptional privacy and space. The entire rear of the home lives like one open, inviting, and comfortable space, combining a large kitchen, casual dining area, and great room. The kitchen has all the chef-preferred touches that include gas-burning stovetop, built-in double oven, a center island with breakfast bar, a built-in desk, butler’s pantry, tremendous counter space and cabinets, access to a second staircase, and a bump-out with vaulted ceiling atop the sink overlooking the back yard, compliments of a spectacularly large window. All across the rear of the home, abundant glass windows and doors facing the wooded scenery behind the home are a stand-out feature. The casual dining area has direct access to the large outdoor deck, where everything from quiet morning coffee to intimate dinners is certain to be enjoyed. The great room is exactly that – great! With its hardwood floors, giant arched windows, vaulted ceiling, and beautiful stone hearth fireplace, it is so very welcoming. Upstairs one finds four generous bedrooms and three full baths. The primary bedroom has a deep tray ceiling giving it an accentuated open feeling and is adjoined by a huge sitting room that could be anything from a newborn nursery to a private yoga studio to a comfortable, sink-into-a-lounge-chair reading room. The primary bath has a large, glass-enclosed step-in shower and a jetted soaking tub for ultimate relaxation. The three additional bedrooms are all generous in size and closet space. One bedroom with private bath and two serviced by a hall bath. The lower level has been finished to add not just square footage, but to open up scores of customized possibilities – perhaps a rec room with pool table, media room with wide flat-screen tv, personal home gym, hobby room, and naturally, plenty of storage room. A full bath with flex room, built-in cabinets and counter space, laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer, are all features that add to the versatility of this level. Among updates are a new roof, new two-zone HVAC, new carpeting and refinished hardwoods. The sprawling outdoor grounds are a 360-degree mecca of hardwood trees and natural beauty. The Great Valley school district is top-rated. Easy access to the PA Turnpike, Routes 29 and 202, make reaching all of Chester County’s finest amenities and conveniences carefree. An enviable lifestyle awaits you here – make it your exceptional home for the holidays and the entire year-round!
