18 Hickory Ln, Malvern, PA 19355

Read Me! This is the most important section!! Welcome to 18 Hickory Lane. This house may not be the prettiest on the street, but it is filled with soul, love, and downright practicality. Built in 1965, this center hall colonial has only had two owners. The current owners have spent the past 17 years making it one of the most comfortable and livable houses in the area. They started with removing all the 1970’s wallpaper and carpeting from every room and restoring the floors to the original solid tongue and groove hardwood. Over the years, the kitchen has been expanded with a peninsula that allows access into a cozy family room with fireplace. All appliances are new within the past 6 years. Although the current stove is electric, it is possible to install gas. The downstairs level also includes a large living room, dining room and powder room. The non-open floor plan helps cut down on noise from room to room and keeps small children from eavesdropping on adult conversations. Upstairs there are four good sized bedrooms and two full baths. Each bedroom has a closet and a great view of the yard. The owners have upgraded the bath and shower but have retained the original tiles in the bathroom. Everything comes back into style eventually. The basement was once stuck in the 1970’s but has been un-finished to accommodate a full French drain and a fabulously dry floor. At this point, the basement is a huge blank slate for the next family to finish as they please. (The current owners strongly suggest an 80’s GenX theme, but hey, that isn’t for everyone). Who hates scraping ice and snow off of their car? The garage actually fits two cars. The current owners stuffed a minivan and a sedan in there. An entry way directly into the house has been added so that sleeping children can be successfully transferred from carseat to crib. Let’s talk about the yard. The yard is amazing. It is huge and fenced in. Whether you have dogs or boisterous children, you can safely send them out into the backyard without fear of escape. A new patio has been added to the back of the house. This is the perfect place for parents to sit and chill while the kids chase fireflies. The current owners even installed a gas line to the edge of the porch so that you can hook up a grill or generator. This is great family home. There is plenty of space for children plus room for a home office. It is also the the perfect place to make your forever home. It is extremely livable just the way it is, but there is plenty of room to put in your own personal touch. Make 18 Hickory your next home!
