About This Home

As of November 2022

Have you been searching for a home in the highly sought after West Chester Borough? This is the one you’ve been waiting for! This is your opportunity to own a piece of West Chester history. Built in 1883, this attractive brick interior row seamlessly marries historic character with modern finishes while it protects the many stories it must have between its walls. Beginning in the bright living room, you are greeted by inlay hardwood floors that flow between most rooms on both floors. The open concept on the first floor instantly draws your eye to the exposed brick wall in the dining room that brings undeniable charm to this space. The updated kitchen has everything a home cook could ever need and is equipped with an abundance of cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, granite countertops, tile backsplash, under cabinet lighting, crown molding, wainscoting and tile floors. A newly added half bathroom was completed in 2021 and wraps up the first floor. The second floor is home to a spacious primary bedroom with hardwood floors, an office/bonus room with 2 closets, a second bedroom, and a full bathroom with a tub shower and wainscoting. For additional storage, an unfinished basement offers plenty of space for all your needs and includes laundry for convenience. The charm of this home continues to the fenced-in brick patio where the shade of a gorgeous tree and colorful flower beds create a cozy retreat in the heart of West Chester where you can enjoy a glass of wine under the stars or grill with friends on a warm summer day. This is a prime location that is steps from all the best restaurants, bars and shopping in Chester County and has easy access to major highways. This one is going to go fast! Hurry in and take a tour before it’s gone!
