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.

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.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $165,140, well below the ~$339,438 its asking price implies at Chester County's common level ratio (30.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $5,296/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($165,140, 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.
