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.
