While the exterior of this Malvern, PA home harkens back to the local history of the region, a thick mahogany front door opens to reveal a home that embraces contemporary living and all its perquisites.

The homeowners envisioned a fun space for entertaining that embodies both the traditional exterior of the home as well as modern elements in line with their more contemporary tastes. The architectural highlight of this space is the staircase, which provides a gradual transition from the first floor into the lower level. Avid wine collectors, the homeowners dedicated much of the lower level to their passion. The current configuration of the large, LED-lit wine storage holds 1,300 bottles, with the option to nearly double that capacity designed into it. In the lounge area, the ribbon fireplace set into a granite slab front acts as an artistic focal point. The home bar features a floating glass top on mahogany, oak accents, and granite.
