On A Cul-De-Sac in Woodlea-Bair-Conestoga -- one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Berwyn, (walking distance to TE Middle & Conestoga HS, the R-5 Train, and Berwyn’s shops & eateries) -- offers this exceptional home, totally transformed from a traditional Colonial into an architectural masterpiece. Without sacrificing any of the charm so coveted by those who value the characteristics & appeal of timeless design, the planning & execution of this complete renovation and added sq. footage is nothing short of excellence. Beautifully landscaped, the front yard displays a slate walkway leading to an impressive entry doorway. The two-story Foyer beyond is spacious & beautifully appointed w/custom millwork, oak hardwoods, a double coat closet & a stunning staircase, leading to the 2nd flr Gallery. With a nod toward accommodating the needs of the work-from-home era, there are TWO 1st floor offices. One is traditional in décor, w/a fireplace, incredible millwork, dark stained paneling, pocket doors leading to the Dining Room, & enough custom storage & shelving to display the most extensive library. Like most other rooms in the home, you’ll find hardwood floors, abundant recessed lighting & built in speakers here. The second home office is light & bright w/honey-stained cabinetry; an attractive cushioned window seat overlooks front vistas, beckoning for reading or contemplation. A second access door leads to a rear hallway, where both a Powder Rm & custom bookshelves are present. Beautifully crafted bookshelves can be found almost everywhere you turn. To the right of the Foyer, discover a banquet-sized Dining Room (fireplace, 3-piece chair rail, crown & picture molding, & wet bar w/wine refrigerator). Toward the rear of the residence, find 2 family spaces: one w/fireplace, bright windows & a door leading to the yard. The 2nd, at the back of the home, features an abundance of custom bookshelves & a corner desk – a great homework spot. An array of handsome custom cabinetry in the well-proportioned Kitchen presents space for every bit of equipment, dinnerware & pantry item the gourmet chef desires. With solid surface counters, propane cooktop, double oven, backsplash & double sink, the perfect meals or hasty snack are easily achieved. Overlooking the Kitchen, the casual Breakfast Room provides access to a gorgeous slate Patio & beautiful screened Porch (cathedral ceiling, two ceiling fans, slate floor, second Powder Rm). The Porch also leads to a portico-style covered portion of the Patio, featuring a hot tub. Just a step from the 3-car garage (pull down storage) or the driveway, is the ever necessary Mud Rm – shoe storage bench, coat storage cabinetry, heated ceramic tile floor, & a rear staircase to the 2nd floor. The upper level of the home displays 4 expansive bedrooms (all with hardwood flooring), and 3 full Baths. The Primary Bedroom w/ sitting area (currently an exercise room) proudly displays cathedral ceilings, ceiling fan, and two walk-in closets, while the primary Bath can truly be described as a spa w/cathedral ceiling, 2 separate vanities (quartz counters), a triple-sized spa shower, privacy commode closet & radiant floors. The remaining bedrooms feature huge closets – the largest BR is an ensuite. A hall Bath serves the remaining 2 bedrooms & features double sinks, linen closet & tub/shower. The Laundry Room w/sink, ironing center & a folding counter is on this level. There’s more to come! A finished 3rd floor, perfect for a 5th bedroom, a studio or playroom -- even a closet & a powder rm – & a multi-function finished walk-out basement. On this level, discover a carpeted area for casual entertainment, a full Bath, Billiards Room w/brand new radiant heated floors, a wall of custom cabinetry, wet bar w/ice maker (cork floors) & a huge temperature controlled wine cellar. Last but certainly not an afterthought, is the verdant flat back yard,<br />
landscaped for privacy and outdoor entertainment. |
