Listing description

**Opportunity awaits on one of Malvern Borough's most coveted streets!** Set on a desirable corner lot in the heart of town, this Craftsman-style home is ready for its next chapter — whether that means a thoughtful renovation that honors its handcrafted character, or a fresh start built to today's standards on an oversized homesite. Either way, the location does the heavy lifting: true walk-to-town living, with Malvern's boutiques, restaurants, and the train station just steps from your front door. The existing home still has plenty to love. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, while inside you'll find hardwood floors, original craftsman trim, and 9' ceilings that speak to the era's quality construction. The living room's brick-surround gas fireplace and built-in shelving add warmth and character, and French doors lead to a light-filled sunroom with a gas fired cast iron stove and wrapped in natural wood windows — a favorite spot in any season. A flexible office or guest room, an eat-in kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, and a charming back staircase up to one of three bedrooms round out the first floor's appeal. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a cedar-lined walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, while two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. Outside the yard is complete with a flagstone patio, Belgian block driveway, and detached two-car garage — providing even more room to make this property your own. But the real story here is the lot and the location: an oversized, corner-lot parcel on a premier Malvern street, offering rare flexibility for renovation or new construction. Come be part of a community where front-porch living and small-town pride are the norm — right along the route of the country's oldest Memorial Day parade.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $170,660, well below the ~$351,670 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 $5,500/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($170,660, 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.
