About This Home
As of July 2025Have you been searching for a home with no HOA and a private backyard to relax in?
Welcome to 18 Paul Nelms Drive—a spacious 4-bedroom forever home tucked away on a full 1-acre lot in the peaceful Deer Crossing/Trestle Woods neighborhood. This home offers valley views, wooded privacy, and the freedom of no HOA restrictions—all in a friendly cul-de-sac setting.
Inside, you’ll love the bright, open layout featuring a two-story foyer, and an entertainer’s dream kitchen with a skylit breakfast nook and serving bar. The cozy, sunken family room boasts cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, and large windows that fill the space with natural light and bring the outdoors in.
Outside on the paver patio surrounded by professional landscaping is where you are going to want to spend your time. Gather with the awesome neighbors, friends and family (or all 3 at the same time!) at your private sanctuary. Bonus: The property is already fenced in for Fido and comes with a well-maintained shed to store your lawn/garden equipment.
Upstairs, unwind in the spacious primary suite with a sitting area, dual closets, and a spa-like bath. Three additional bedrooms, a full hall bath complete the upper level. The walk-out basement is ready to be finished and customized to fit your lifestyle.
A professionally installed radon mitigation system is in place, and all windows have been upgraded to energy-efficient vinyl models, complete with a lifetime transferable warranty for added peace of mind. All of this is conveniently located just minutes from major routes, shopping, train stations, and all that Chester County has to offer.
Don’t miss your chance to own a private, move-in ready home with unbeatable views and no HOA!
