180 Shilling Ave, Malvern, PA 19355

Property Description

First-floor in-law suite with ensuite bath gives this Great Valley Schools home the flexibility most floor plans don't offer — works for au pair suite or home office too. The main level opens to a dramatic two-story great room with a fireplace, soaring ceiling, and a wall of windows that floods the space with natural light. A flexible main-level room adjacent to the dining area and kitchen adds valuable extra living space that can easily adapt to changing needs and everyday use. The gourmet kitchen anchors the home with granite countertops, double wall ovens, a cooktop, stainless appliances, and custom built-ins. The layout flows naturally into the main living areas, making it easy to cook, host, and stay connected to family and guests. Hardwood flooring extends throughout most of the main level. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a true retreat — separated from the day-to-day rhythm of the home. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, upper-level laundry, and a loft overlooking the great room round out the second floor. The loft is the kind of bonus space that earns its keep — perfect as a home office, media room, or second living area. Brand new carpet was installed throughout the upper level in May 2026. The unfinished basement is ready for your vision. Rough-in plumbing for a full bath is already in place, and the footprint offers the potential to add over 1,000 square feet of finished living space — a meaningful equity opportunity for the next owner. A brand new water heater has also been installed. Two porches — front and side — extend your living space outdoors year-round. Directly behind the home, an open community play area gives kids and pets room to run without leaving the neighborhood. Built by Southdown Homes, Pickering Crossing is known for thoughtful construction, walking trails, and access to the Horseshoe Trail — which leads directly to Valley Forge National Historical Park. It's a community that quietly does a lot of things right: well-built homes, mature landscaping, and a layout that prioritizes both privacy and connection. Located in Malvern within the Great Valley School District, this home sits in one of the most desirable corners of the Philadelphia suburbs. You're minutes from the PA Turnpike and Route 202 for regional commuting, Paoli and Malvern stations for SEPTA and Amtrak service, and major corporate campuses including Vanguard, SEI, and the broader Great Valley Corporate Center. King of Prussia, Valley Forge, Berwyn, Exton, and West Chester are all close by for shopping, dining, and recreation. It's a location that gives you suburban quiet without sacrificing access to everything that makes the Main Line and Chester County corridor so strong. Homes with this combination — Great Valley Schools, a first-floor in-law suite, and finished-basement potential are rare. Schedule your private showing today.
