About This Home

As of May 2025

LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION…. WOW! When Zillow ranks the most popular markets among Zillow surfers nationwide for nearly 2,300 U.S. cities in 2023 and West Chester ranks #1… then RUN, don't walk to this charming and nicely appointed Village of Shannon (West Goshen) 3BD/2.5BA (over 2,100 SF+) Townhome with expansive FINISHED WALK-OUT BASEMENT including OFF-STREET rear 2-Car Parking! Located on a superb lot: 1) nicely tucked near the rear of the community (less through traffic) and 2) situated on a highly-desirable tree-lined/sidewalk street community offering tons of open/common space to walk the fur-babies. 178 Longford is a WORRY-FREE purchase, as so many structural/mechanical components have been recently updated to include: NEWER! Roof (4 y/o), NEWER! HVAC (4 y/o), NEWER! Gas Hot Water Heater (2 y/o), NEW! Washer/Dryer (will convey with the sale including the secondary basement 'beer' Fridge), NEWER! Dishwasher (3 y/o), NEWER! Windows (3 y/o) and NEW! Front Railing. And wait, there's more… the two (2) Upper-Floor BATHROOMS have been recently RENOVATED -- ooh la la -- they're stunningly beautiful! The rejuvenated Eat-In Kitchen offers Granite Counters, Gas Range, oversized Pantry and laminate wood flooring with access to the rear Deck. The Owner's Ensuite is oversized to fit all your furniture needs including a King-size Bed. The secondary bedrooms are also nicely sized and all bedrooms are outfitted with Ceiling Fans. The Great Room is expansive, plenty of room to entertain guests and is adorned by a lovely brick Fireplace. Other great features of this home include: it's located in the award-winning West Chester Area School District (East High School & Fugett Middle); mere minutes to all Downtown WC Borough has to offer; you'll surely appreciate the LOW and reasonable property taxes at only $3,741 (2024); LOW HOA - only $175/ANNUALLY; for those nature lovers, this community is surrounded by three (3) lovely Parks within 5 minutes… Hamlet Crest, Banbury and Boot Road Park. And, kayak on the lake at Marsh Creek State Park... less than 20 minutes away! Only a job relocation makes this lovely home available (pardon all the boxes, sellers are nearly 80% packed and ready to go)… a quick settlement is possible, but sellers are flexible. You will absolutely love putting your personal touches to this special home that is close to everything: located off of Boot Rd, ease of access to Rt. 202 (less than 2 mins), 100, 29, 401 & 30-Bypass; Exton/Whitford Train Stations (6-7 mins) as well as host of restaurants and shopping (Whole Foods (3 mi), Trader Joe's (15 mins), Target (4 mi), Walmart (3 mi), Costco (15 mi), & KOP Mall (20 mins)). And commuting time is a breeze to these local employers: QVC (2 mi), Vanguard (8 mi), ACAC (5 min) and WCU/Borough (8 min). This phenomenal property won't last long! Such a remarkable property… in such a superb, prime location… don't wait, schedule your showing today! +++SHOWINGS Begin: Friday, April 4th+++
