About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to 26 Karen Drive, a terrific ranch style home featuring a deep rear yard on a quiet lane in the Borough of Malvern.

The open concept living and dining rooms offer a wood burning fireplace with raised hearth and a doorway to the low maintenance deck overlooking the rear grounds. The spacious eat-in kitchen features Stainless Steel appliances, including an upgraded gas stove raised panel Oak cabinetry, a tile backsplash, plenty of granite counter space, recessed lighting and tile flooring. The owner's suite offers a private powder room and great closet space. Two additional bedrooms are serviced by an updated hall bathroom with beautiful tile work and an upgraded vanity. The finished walk-out basement offers endless possibilities, full windows and a doorway to a yard level patio area. A massive storage room is home to the laundry facilities and a workshop area. The low maintenance rear deck is the ideal spot for relaxing, entertaining, grilling and dining al fresco. The deep fenced rear yard is ideal for pets and playing. An attractive storage building provides extra storage space and many options. Please note that the property line extends way beyond the back fence line. Hardwood floors, Central A/C, fresh paint, a huge storage building, a newly coated driveway, a generac gas generator, great closet and storage space and much more all come together to make 26 Karen Drive a very special place to call home.
