THE DAN LOGAN GROUP

Description

Welcome to the Barn at Dryburgh Farm, located in sought-after Malvern, Willistown Township, Pennsylvania. Circa 1831, this converted bank-barn has historic character, but no historic preservation restrictions. With meticulous attention to detail, this exceptional home has been artfully restored and renovated, balancing creative flare with respect for the past. Simple but stunning living spaces are highlighted with reclaimed barn wood (from this and other Pennsylvania barns), exposed stone walls, wide-plank hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings, walls of windows, mortise and pegged posts and beams, custom cabinetry from local craftsman, and tasteful accents throughout. As you enter from the "bank", the front-to-back view will draw you to the large, three-season screened porch overlooking a meandering stream and woods. Adjacent to the porch, the main floor office is magazine-worthy with a vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and bookshelves made from reclaimed barn-wood, and hardwood flooring from trees harvested from Boston Golf Club in Hingham, MA. Back in the main living area, the spacious dining room is highlighted by soaring exposed stone walls, flanked by a wide, turned staircase to the upper level. In keeping with the restoration of the home, the hardwood stairs are from an old school building in Kennett Square. On the upper level you'll find a generously proportioned primary bedroom suite, with two large closets (one cedar and one with floor-to-ceiling custom-built cabinetry), plus an updated primary bath with a separate "wet room" with both a shower and period-appropriate soaking tub. Take time to sit, relax and admire the inside-to-out views from the upper level loft. On the opposite side of the loft, you'll find a second bedroom, also with an exposed stone wall, large closet and updated, full en-suite bath. Back down stairs, there is a cozy den, powder room, main floor laundry and inviting living room with a wood-burning stove. Across from the living room, the dining room opens to a country kitchen featuring custom-crafted cabinetry with und-mount lighting, a large center island with prep sink, plenty of storage, recessed seating, and pendant lighting above. From the kitchen, you'll pass through thick, old stone walls into the "corn crib" - now a charming breakfast room, lower level family room (with a vaulted ceiling and two-story wall of windows), plus two lower level bedrooms, both with generous closets and full baths. On the lowest level, a large "bonus" room is currently used as art studio and gym. If a pool is in your future, with access to the rear stone-walled courtyard, this space could be a fabulous "pool cabana" (with roughed-in plumbing already in place). With an estimated 5,300+ sq ft of finished living space, plus an additional 2,000+ sq ft of unfinished area, you have plenty of space to create your own special vision for this property. Nestled on 2.5 private acres, you'll find the privacy you want without isolation in this quiet neighborhood, cul-de-sac setting. Located just minutes from major commuting routes, the charming borough of Malvern, and the shops, restaurants, dining and host of golf and country clubs on the Main Line. This oasis of comfort and respite offers an escape from hectic-paced lives, within easy commuting distance to Philadelphia, NYC and Washington, DC. Shown By Appointment Only.
