OPEN HOUSES CANCELLED! Walk to downtown Malvern from this dazzling newer colonial featuring over $200,000 in upgrades! From the charming bluestone front porch, a glass-paneled mahogany door brings you inside, where you’ll find enhancements at every turn, including nine- and ten-foot ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, custom millwork and cabinetry, solid-wood floor-to-ceiling doors, recessed lighting and designer fixtures and hardware. From the foyer, pocket French doors reveal a sunny living room with scenic front and side yard views. Behind the living room you’ll find a soothing primary suite with dual walk-in closets and glorious ensuite bath featuring marble tile, extra-long custom vanity, glass shower with bench seating and water closet. Continue down the wide center hallway to the heart of the main floor—a sprawling, tastefully appointed family room-kitchen with high-end finishes galore. To the right, a sparkling white chef’s kitchen boasts island seating, upgraded cabinets, custom tile backsplash and microwave drawer. Just steps away, an open breakfast area offers a cheery place to sit and dine thanks to two sets of full-panel double glass doors that open to the backyard. The sumptuous family room welcomes all with its gas fireplace, coffered ceiling, custom built-ins and glorious window wall. Tucked behind the kitchen sits a spacious, fully appointed mudroom with custom cubbies and built-in desk and hutch. The mudroom conveniently connects to a three-car garage with wall slat organization system. A laundry room with soapstone countertops and pocket door, walk-in pantry and powder room complete this spectacular first floor. Upstairs you’ll find four spacious secondary bedrooms—all with custom closet organization systems—and two upgraded jack-and-jill full baths. An open staircase leads to the light-filled lower level, which the current owners lowered to create ten-foot ceilings and accommodate larger windows. In addition to an open space for relaxation and play, full bathroom and several storage closets, you’ll find a separate area with custom flooring that’s perfect for a home gym. The partially fenced, professionally landscaped backyard boasts a tiered composite deck that’s ideal for entertaining, plus a gas fire pit and flat, open greenspace just beyond. Homes on this tranquil, sidewalk-lined loop are zoned for award-winning Great Valley School District and sit mere minutes from premier shopping and dining, transit and commuter routes.
