About This Home
As of November 2012An exquisite home in the Boro of West Chester which oozes charm and extensive and intricate original molding and woodwork. The welcoming vestibule leads to the large center hall foyer with formal living room and dining rooms. Large double doors grace the entrance of both rooms. Fireplaces and milled woodtrimed bay windows are the focal points in both rooms. A formal study, loaded with wainscotting and wood trim, brick fireplace and cozy kitchen w/pantry complete the first floor living space. Two large bedrooms, bath and master bedroom with upgraded fabulous bath opens to the roof deck and is a great retreat. The third floor is currently being used as a family room but at one time was a 2 bedroom apartment with its own outside access. The plumbing still remains and if desired can be easily converted back. Built in 1890, known as the Craven Mansion, with its cupola, detached garage a wonderful Boro gem that is a great place to call home
