Malvern, PA Homes for Sale in Great Valley School District | Pickering Crossing

A rare first-floor in-law suite, flexible living spaces, and one of the most desirable locations in the Philadelphia suburbs—this home in Pickering Crossing offers a combination that’s increasingly hard to find in Malvern.

Located within the highly sought-after Great Valley School District, this Southdown Homes-built property blends everyday functionality with long-term value in one of Chester County’s most desirable communities.


Flexible Living with a Rare First-Floor In-Law Suite

One of the standout features of this home is the rare first-floor in-law suite with a full bath—ideal for visiting family, guests, multi-generational living, or flexible everyday use.

The main level opens to a dramatic two-story great room with soaring ceilings, a fireplace, and a wall of windows that fills the home with natural light. A flexible space adjacent to the dining area and kitchen adds valuable extra living space that can adapt as your needs change.

The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, double wall ovens, a cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and custom built-ins. Hardwood flooring extends throughout most of the main level, while the layout flows naturally for both entertaining and everyday living.

Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a quiet retreat separated from the main living areas. Two additional bedrooms, upper-level laundry, and a loft overlooking the great room complete the second floor. The loft provides flexible bonus space for a home office, media room, or second living area. Brand new carpet was installed throughout the upper level in May 2026.


Basement Potential & Outdoor Living

The unfinished basement offers significant future potential, with rough-in plumbing already in place for a full bath and the ability to add more than 1,000 square feet of finished living space—creating a meaningful opportunity for additional value and equity. A brand new water heater has also been installed.

Two porches—front and side—extend the living space outdoors, while an open community play area directly behind the home provides extra room for kids and pets without leaving the neighborhood.
