Recently renovated inside and out with new functionality, and updated fresh, transitional design. The current homeowners thought this was their "forever home" and invested nearly $450,000 in updates and improvements in the last five years - and now they've been transferred out of state! A partial list of improvements include new Hardi-Plank siding (replacing vinyl); 38 new energy-efficient windows; new Natural Gas HVAC (the main house was previously oil); newly renovated Luxury Master Bath (carrara marble tile, new custom vanity, over-sized shower and heated floor); newly renovated Children's Bath (new vanity and fixtures, new tile and heated floor); Whole House Generator; and a stunning new "All-Season" Room addition (with separately zoned HVAC and heated flooring). An extra bonus is the newly renovated Nanny/ In-Law/ Guest suite above the garage with a freshly renovated full bath, new flooring and lighting. (Nanny Suite has separate HVAC and hot water. ) The updated Eat-In Kitchen opens to a sunny Breakfast Room, and features a large Island (with seating area and storage), a convenient coffee bar/ butler's pantry and Stainless Appliances (including a newer Sub-Zero refrigerator and Thermador Induction Cook-Top). The adjacent Family Room was designed by local architect Warren Claytor, evoking the charm of Chester County with a wood-burning fireplace with stone surround, custom-built ins with cozy window seats. (Don't miss the wet bar with copper sink and beverage fridge. ) Hardwood floors extend throughout the main living level and second floor bedrooms (accessible by front and backstaircases). The 1.56 acre private lot has the perfect balance of sun and shade, with grassy space for play-sets and sports equipment, and plenty of space to add a pool if that is in your future plans. Enjoy quiet evenings on the lovely flagstone patio with waterfall and pond. (Open the kitchen windows and listen to the peaceful sounds of that waterfall anytime you want!) The Daylight, Walk-Out Basement is partially finished with play space and a powder room, plus unfinished storage. Located in the sought-after Conestoga-Woodlea neighborhood, within walking distance to top-rated TE schools, the commuter train and charming town of Berwyn. Quick settlement possible!
