About This Home

As of January 2022

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION and TWO CAR GARAGE. Rarely does one of West Chester's classic grand homes become available in the much sought after, N.E. quadrant of town DIRECTLY facing Marshall Square Park. This was West Chester’s first park and Town Square in the borough, a 7-acre arboretum, where General Lafayette marshalled his troops. The Park has a summer concert series, a gazebo, a fine arts sculpted tree, basketball courts, water fountain, and a new playground. This is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in West Chester Borough which has been named in many publications as one of the best small towns in the country. Located in West Chester's Historic District, this home is within a few short steps of downtown's retail and restaurant district, Henderson high School, YMCA, the Court House, Chester County Hospital, the library, the Chester Co. Historical Society, the Friends School, and all recreational activities. From the moment you pull up, you will be enchanted by the wonderful curb appeal, professionally maintained grounds, mature trees, shrubs, plantings, and the stunning covered front porch (the perfect place to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine and savor the views of the park and visit with your neighbors who are out walking). This incredible brick built, circa 1890 home, has all the ambiance, charm, character, and elegance one would expect and yet everything has been updated and upgraded to ensure that the owners have all the modern amenities required in today's homes. From the moment you enter, you will appreciate the new maple hardwood flooring throughout the main level, the lovely 9+ foot ceiling heights, the original beautiful moldings and mill work throughout and the attention to detail at every turn. From the welcoming entry foyer, you have easy access to the formal living room with original fireplace and surround in the front of the home with stunning views of the park. The rear of the home boasts a spacious family room with easy access to the formal dining room and lovely half bathroom. The remodeled kitchen sits in the rear of the home and boasts a beautiful marble back splash, stainless steel appliances, a small island and plenty of storage. Beyond the kitchen is the fully enclosed sunroom which is the perfect place to sit and watch your two or four legged friends play in the fully fenced rear yard complete with a spacious brick patio area, and walkways to the detached two car garage and rear alley entrance to the back yard. The backyard is serene and peaceful, a veritable oasis in the middle of a very walkable and vibrant town. There is also a separate mud-room entrance from the yard into the basement and kitchen area. The beautiful main floor staircase leads you to the upper level which has a spacious primary suite and a lovely second bedroom and full hall bathroom. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and a stunningly remodeled bathroom complete with a white claw foot tub, beautiful tile and marble custom shower, new vanity, lighting, and fixtures. The hall bathroom has also been newly remodeled, and it is done completely in marble with lovely basket weave and chevron patterns. The third floor has three additional bedrooms and a third full bathroom that has also been completely remodeled. It is truly rare to have a home of this magnitude, in this completely remodeled condition, and in this desirable a location reach the open market. Don’t wait to see it; you will surely want to call it home.
