About This Home

As of August 2022

Move right into this lovingly maintained three bedroom, three and a half bathroom townhome featuring a one-car garage and tasteful updates throughout! Part of a wonderful community in West Chester, residents of 218 Birchwood Drive enjoy use of a shared pool, tennis courts, playground, walking trails, and club house.

Enter the home into a wide foyer and step up to the light-filled main level boasting high ceilings. With crown and baseboard moldings, the living room is open to a formal dining room with a chandelier and tray ceilings. Adjacent, you’ll find a cozy family room with a wall of windows and a gas fireplace. The eat-in kitchen offers ample wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a center island with a breakfast bar. Additionally, it overlooks a breakfast nook with access to an enormous deck, perfect for hosting or dining alfresco. A half bathroom concludes the first level.

On the second floor, you’ll find vaulted ceilings and access to all three bedrooms. The primary suite is oversized with a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bath showcasing a dual vanity, soaking tub, and stall shower. Bedrooms 2 & 3 share use of a full hall bathroom with a single vanity and tub shower. A laundry nook with a washer and dryer can be found on this level.

Unique for a townhome, the finished basement has plenty of room for both recreation and storage space, and a full bathroom. This space could also easily be used as an in-law room. Finally, mention must be made of the private backyard and the meticulous attached one-car garage providing even more storage.

This prime address and minutes away from local attractions, including outdoor parks, shopping centers, and restaurants. Additionally, the SEPTA Whitford station and major highways are easily accessible, making commuting a breeze.
