Listing description

Nestled in the coveted Valley Forge Mountain community and located in the highly rated Great Valley School District, this 2.3-acre custom-built home offers a blend of understated comfort and intricate detail, framed by exceptional privacy. Positioned perfectly on a mature wooded lot along a private road, the property provides a peaceful sanctuary with warm, inviting spaces inside and out. This 6,000+ square foot custom "Builder's Residence" features a carefully crafted floor plan with 6 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths. A covered walkway leads to the front foyer and split staircase, flowing effortlessly into a dedicated first-floor office. The great room boasts vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings, hardwood flooring, and a stone accent wall with a wood-burning fireplace and double sliding doors opening to a stamped concrete patio. The spacious eat-in kitchen features expansive granite countertops, a center island with seating for four, a walk-in pantry, and a sunlit breakfast room with stunning views of the serene, lush backyard. Sliding glass doors lead out to a generously sized deck—ideal for morning coffee or intimate evening gatherings. The kitchen connects directly to a formal dining room with custom built-in cabinetry, creating a seamless layout for entertaining. An updated powder room, coat closet, main-level storage area, and direct access to the two-car garage complete the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and an en-suite full bath with double vanities and a separate water closet. Two additional bedrooms—one serving as a private suite with its own full bath and walk-in closet—a full hallway bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room complete this wing of the second floor. Tucked behind a private entry is an impressive secondary living area complete with a bedroom, expansive living space, full bathroom, sunlit windows, and a back staircase leading to the exterior. This versatile layout is ideal for extended guests or in-law quarters. The finished third floor adds even more flexible living space, featuring a bedroom, living area, generous closet space, and thoughtfully designed private work-from-home nooks. The light-filled lower level offers approximately 1,200 square feet of additional finished living space, perfect for a recreation room, home gym, or extra storage, along with a half bath and walkout access directly to the backyard. A paved driveway leads to ample parking and a detached two-car garage. Offering an idyllic wooded setting, this home remains just minutes from the vibrant communities of downtown Malvern, Phoenixville, and West Chester, with their charming boutique shops and popular dining. Nearby Regional Rail and Amtrak stations offer direct service to Philadelphia and New York City.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($440,560, 1998 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
