About This Home
As of June 2018Welcome to 126 West Barnard Street, a gorgeous three bedroom West Chester Borough town home located just three blocks from the center of town. From the front entrance of this brick home, one will walk directly into the family room. This family room is lined with stunning hardwood floors, freshly painted neutrally toned walls, and has a bright and airy feel. There's also a gas fireplace; a great room to relax or entertain. When through the family room, dining space opens with stunning hardwood floors, original built-in's and large windows. The beautiful kitchen can be found in the next room over and is perfect for any hosting enthusiast. With its updated features (such as a newly installed dishwasher, Silestone countertops, kitchen tile backsplash) and exposed brick accent wall, this room attracts those who love to cook and entertain. Access to 126 West Barnard's fenced-in backyard and basement (with plenty of room for storage) can be found through the kitchen as well. A back staircase can also be found near the pantry leading up to the second floor. Once back in the dining room, the main staircase will lead you to the second floor. This floor hosts two well-lit bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry room with a washer & dryer that are only two years old! The two bedrooms are comfortable in size and can serve multiple purposes. Well-kept hardwood floors line the hallway and rooms. Once up the second set of stairs, a master bedroom is set on the third floor. If you're looking for a dreamy getaway space to find some rest and relaxation, this room is for you. The walls are lined with neutral tones that give it a bright and inviting feel. The hardwood floors give it the popular natural feel that everyone so desires, and a closet space rests in the corner. 126 West Barnard is the quintessential space for anyone looking to live in the Borough, but tucked away in peace. A bonus feature about this home is its prized private backyard (which blooms with lovely purple, yellow, and orange flowers in the spring and summer) that has a newly poured concrete patio and private parking spaces for two cars; a true & rare sight for homes in the West Chester borough. Showings will begin on Sunday, April 8th at 1pm. An Open House is set for this home on Sunday, April 8th from 1pm-3pm.
