Listing description

Space, privacy and a setting that is increasingly hard to find. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Owen J. Roberts School District, 1580 Melville Drive offers more than 4,500 square feet of living space including a finished walk-out lower level, an in-ground pool and 2.7 beautiful acres surrounded by mature trees. A circular driveway welcomes you to the property, where the home's impressive scale continues inside. At the heart of the home is a dramatic two-story family room filled with natural light and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The main level offers plenty of room to spread out, with a spacious eat-in kitchen featuring a large center island , a large family dining space, dedicated home office with built-ins, a cozy den or additional office, and a first-floor bedroom with a full bath, ideal for guests, extended family or anyone looking for the flexibility of main-level living. One of the home's best features is how easily the living space extends outdoors. A large enclosed entertaining area overlooks the in-ground pool, patio and expansive backyard, creating the perfect setting for summer gatherings, quiet mornings or weekends spent at home. Beyond the pool, a wide stretch of open lawn bordered by mature trees gives the property a sense of privacy and space that is difficult to replicate. Upstairs, an open second-floor hall overlooks the family room below and leads to a spacious primary suite with a sitting area, fireplace, two walk-in closets, private bath and access to a second-floor balcony. Two additional bedrooms, a hall bath, upstairs laundry and an oversized fifth bedroom or bonus room provide even more flexibility for a playroom, media room, second office, hobby space or additional guest area. The finished walk-out lower level adds another entire dimension to the home, offering space for entertaining, recreation, a home gym or game room, along with a two-sided fireplace, powder room and plenty of storage. With an in-ground pool, expansive lawn, mature trees, multiple outdoor living spaces and a private cul-de-sac location, 1580 Melville Drive feels like a retreat while remaining convenient to Route 422, shopping, dining and everyday necessities. If you've been searching for a home with acreage, a pool, substantial living space and an award winning school district, this is one you'll want to experience in person.

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.
