PENNY LEHRER

Description

This custom-built American Craftsman home is 3,300 square feet of finished space, nestled on a private 2.6 acre oasis. The property includes the rustic stone walls of a landmark 1800’s bank barn and is an easy two-minute walk to enjoy the trails of the 46-acre Valley Creek Preserve. It’s an incredible location, within prestigious Tredyffrin Township, with top-ranked schools consistently recognized for academic excellence, and just minutes to the Vanguard Campus and Great Valley Corporate Center. The home’s interior captures the inspirations of Frank Lloyd Wright with a stunning horizontal line of oversized windows that maximize sunlight throughout the open floor plan. From the circular driveway, enter the welcoming Foyer to the dramatic sunken Living Room and breathtaking views of the grounds beyond. True Oak hardwood flooring flows throughout and there are two wood-burning fireplaces (Living Room & Primary Bedroom). The Chef’s Kitchen is a showstopper and features entirely custom hand-made Oak cabinetry with Arts and Crafts millwork and hammered hardware. The corner cabinets below counter height pull out as drawers and all the appliances are behind wood. The stunning countertops are Green Iron Mountain Soapstone and the luxury tile backsplash is uninterrupted by outlets and light switches, which are hidden beneath the cabinetry. The high-performing ILVE gas range is capped by a high-velocity ducted venting system tucked into a custom hammered copper hood. The Sub-Zero fridge has maximum storage space and two Sub-Zero freezer drawers are in the center island. A Miele dishwasher, double sink with disposal and large walk-in pantry complete the Kitchen. There’s a Mudroom just steps away with a Powder Room, coat closet, and Laundry Room. The Dining Room features a stunning east-facing window for morning light and a wet bar (coffee station!) tucked behind pocket doors. There is also a pair of rough-hewn barn doors that slide closed to separate the Dining and Living Rooms. A glass door to the brick patio makes for easy outdoor entertaining to take in the lovely Walnut tree canopy and bank barn. Centering the home is a breathtaking sunken Living Room with nine-foot ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. Off the Foyer is a large coat closet, a second main level Powder Room and a main level Bedroom (currently used as a Den). Upstairs, the Primary Bedroom is it’s own wing and features a soaring beamed and vaulted ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, hardwood flooring, a large walk-in closet, and a sitting room/nursery that is currently used as a second walk-in closet. There are two private bathrooms with a large shower room and linen closet in between. At the top of the staircase there’s another wing anchored by a sitting area with a beautiful picture window and two more bedrooms with hardwood floors. One bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and both share a hall bathroom with tub and shower and a linen closet. The bedrooms have large closets, and insulated knee-wall storage. There’s also a large walk-in attic at this level. The finished Family Room at the lower level features a private entrance, a large closet, and a full bathroom with a shower. This space could easily be an au pair or in-law suite or an office to receive clients. The oversized two-car Garage features a very large workroom with it’s own entrance, a big second level storage area, electric door openers and an electric vehicle charging panel wired for one car but able to power a second. There is blown cellulose insulation beneath the roof, which was replaced in 2013, along with new gutters and leaf guards. Close to office parks, shopping, multiple nature preserves with trails and Valley Forge Park just minutes away. The top-ranked Tredyffrin-Easttown schools are nationally recognized. Paoli Amtrak/SEPTA Train Station and easy access to major commuter thoroughfares. If you’re seeking unique and private, this home is not to be missed!
