About this home
COMING SOON! A rare opportunity to own one of Malvern’s most distinctive properties in the sought-after Great Valley School District. This unique 5-bedroom, 3 full bath, 1 half bath estate is believed to have historic ties to the West Chester Railroad (historical plaque on site) and has been thoughtfully expanded over the years to create a truly special residence. Situated on a private, fully fenced one-acre setting, this property welcomes you with a gated circular driveway surrounding a spectacular outdoor entertaining courtyard complete with a hot tub, grilling area, and space for gatherings. The professionally designed grounds showcase mature specimen landscaping including towering redwoods, magnolia, oak, apple trees, blueberry bushes, and fragrant honeysuckle creating a private oasis. Enjoy resort-style living with a private pool surrounded by a concrete patio and wood decking, plus an oversized two-story barn with heat and electricity offering endless possibilities for a workshop, studio, hobbies, or storage. Inside, the home blends character and comfort with hardwood flooring, fresh paint, new carpeting, remodeled baths, and two self-circulating masonry fireplaces—one beautifully positioned in the kitchen and another in the family room. The primary suite features a private balcony with breathtaking sunset views. The attached in-law suite provides exceptional flexibility with its own entrance, full kitchen, living room, bedroom, laundry, and full bath with a vaulted skylit ceiling—perfect for multigenerational living, guests, or private accommodations. Additional features include a welcoming front porch, mudroom with pantry potential, upgraded electrical service, two basement areas including a fitness space, and expansive third-floor storage with future finishing possibilities. Conveniently located minutes from Malvern, West Chester Borough, shopping, dining, major commuter routes, and regional rail, this extraordinary property offers a rare combination of history, privacy, versatility, and outdoor living.
The intent of the R-2 Residential District is to provide appropriate locations and development standards for single-family detached residential dwellings and in specified cases in cluster developments, 2-family and single-family attached residential dwellings associated with medium-low-density areas of the Township. R-2 Residential Districts are also appropriate for residential clustering.
