About This Home

As of May 2025

Rare 6-Bedroom Gem in Desirable Merlin Hills – Don’t Miss This One! Spacious, updated, and ideally located, this 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath home sits on a scenic 0.58-acre lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in East Pikeland Township’s sought-after community. With generous living space, modern upgrades, and a flexible layout, it’s just minutes from Kimberton, downtown Phoenixville, and major routes—offering the perfect blend of peaceful suburban living and convenience. From the moment you arrive, the stone walkway and curb appeal welcome you. Inside, natural oak hardwood floors flow through most of the main level. The bright kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, a touch faucet, and a sunny eat-in area overlooking the backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile space—ideal for a first-floor bedroom, home office, or light-filled family room with skylight and sliding glass doors. Additional main floor highlights include a large living room with wood-burning fireplace and deep-set windowsills, a formal dining room, and a mudroom with garage access and a large closet—ideal for a second laundry area or drop zone to keep clutter out of sight. Upstairs, the layout offers space and privacy with six bedrooms and three full baths. The private in-law suite above the garage includes two bedrooms (one with a walk-in closet), a full bath with double sinks and walk-in shower, and a door separating it from the main home. On the other side, the primary suite features an ensuite bath, and three more bedrooms share a full hall bath. All bedrooms include ample closet space. A pull-down attic has extra storage and a whole-home attic fan for improved ventilation. The unfinished basement is ready for your vision—whether it’s a gym, home theater, game room, or extra storage. Gas heat (no oil), a French drain, and a well-maintained HVAC system add comfort and efficiency. The large, private backyard is perfect for entertaining or relaxing, and the oversized, attached 2-car garage with a side entrance offers easy access, generous storage, and extra depth—perfect for a workshop, bikes, or outdoor gear. With no HOA and a rare 6-bedroom layout, this home offers freedom and flexibility—just 15 minutes from Valley Forge Park, Malvern, and Exton, with Routes 422, 202, 76, and 100 nearby for easy commuting. This one’s a standout! Book your tour now and take a peek at the virtual tour!
