Due to a job relocation these sellers are heartbroken to have to leave this once in a lifetime custom built 5 bed room 3 full bath, post and beam style home is now ready for its new family to move in. Starting its life as a small log cabin built in the 50s, the current owner transformed it into this master piece! The outside is simply amazing. The yard is fenced in with wonderful outdoor living spaces to enjoy. There is a quiet patio off the cabin for your morning coffee and then around the corner on the other side is the indoor outdoor living space, with paver patio, covered roof bar area, overhead trellis and the focal point is the large outdoor free standing fireplace! The exterior is hewn white pine wood siding on addition and logs on cabin with standing seam metal roof! You will be so amazed when you enter this home with the 20 ft vaulted post and beam interior which is all hand made with peg and mortised joints. The center piece of the living room is the massive double sided cobblestone block fireplace with built in brick oven pizza! You will be taken aback by the stunning craftsmanship of this home from the ornate railings to the white pine wide plank hardwood floors milled on site. This home has an amazing open floor plan that makes for fantastic entertaining! A massively beautiful kitchen is a chefs dream, starting with the large island that seats 6 with a quartzite and Brazilian teak butcher block top. This kitchen does not lack storage space with its multiple slow close drawers, large walk in pantry with sliding barn door, soapstone country sink, beautiful brick inlay on the back wall, a built in wine fridge and microwave both in the island, double oven with 6 burner gas range with pot filler and large kitchen hood! If that isn’t enough area to entertain and eat there is a perfect spot for that big dining room table. The great room has radiant floor heating which makes it very toasty in there even without the fireplace. Behind the fireplace is a custom made bar area with exposed beams, a full bath with frameless shower, country sink with radiant floor heating and bedroom or office, whatever works for you. The cabin part of the home is just as spectacular with its exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, stone fireplace, wide plank flooring, exposed interior log walls, full bathroom, office area or bedroom and big bedroom in the loft space above. This could be an au pair suite as well or use the entire area as your home office area. Up the custom built wood steps to the second floor across the catwalk, look out over the great room for the best view of this home. Upstairs laundry, large master bathroom that also has radiant floor heat with connecting door to main area. Master bedroom and 4th bedroom on opposite sides with all the same features as the rest of the home plus spiral stair case to 3rd floor loft; again great for at home office space. Great Valley schools, and located near downtown Malvern and West Chester boro, the R5 train line, Wegmans 202 and PA Turnpike. This is truly a "Once in a Lifetime" home that you can call your own!
