Your custom dream home is now a possibility — a unique opportunity to own a new construction home with the ability to select your own finishes, all in time for the next school year. What was once a standard Colonial-style home has been completely reimagined into a transitional new construction residence with ample space for entertaining and everyday living. The first floor features a two-story foyer, garage entry into a California Closets-outfitted mudroom, a first-floor office, and a dining room. The gourmet chef’s kitchen boasts a 10-foot island, two dishwashers, and flows seamlessly into the living area, which also includes a beverage center for easy entertaining. The living room features a gas fireplace, large windows, and bifold California doors that open to the 20x30 Trex deck. A family room addition with soaring 20-foot ceilings and a second gas fireplace is an absolute showstopper and is sure to be the highlight of the home. The second floor offers five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a laundry room. The primary suite features two walk-in closets and a stunning en suite bathroom with a soaking tub in the wet room. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, Bedroom 4 is conveniently located across from a hall bath, and Bedroom 5 features its own en suite bath. The third-floor loft offers endless possibilities — workout space, yoga room, office, den, or playroom. The walkout finished lower level features a sixth bedroom, walk-in closet, and full bathroom, in addition to another living space. Off the lower-level living room is a rear patio, with a covered patio to the side. There is a curb cut and driveway onto Stoke Rd currently pending and expected to be approved by the township within the next two weeks. This would allow people to enter/exit the driveway and garage from both Stoke Rd and Old Gulph. Examples of 2577 Wayland Rd, Berwyn (currently listed and completed) are shown to illustrate the finish level of Great Oak Custom Homes.
Villanova, located between Bryn Mawr and Wayne, is a Main Line and collegiate Radnor Township neighborhood with stone manors and leafy rail-side lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Lancaster Avenue at Ithan Avenue, where coffee counters, small eateries, and campus-day foot traffic set a steady rhythm. Villanova University’s Gothic halls and athletic venues shape the streetscape, while the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Line threads through at Villanova Station. Residential blocks mix Tudor Revival, Colonial, and mid-century homes behind mature trees and fieldstone walls. Chanticleer Garden and the Radnor Trail add a green counterpoint to the academic core.
