About This Home

As of July 2021

Welcome to 3 Forest Hills Drive situated on almost 4 acres and in the West Chester School District! Enjoy the low taxes! This charming custom home, built by its owners, offers privacy, but is still close to major routes and shopping centers. As you walk in you are instantly greeted with custom wood double doors that lead to the sizable vaulted ceiling foyer. There is so much character offered here, all solid wood oak doors & antique one of a kind door knobs don every room. Head into the open family room with a 24 foot cathedral ceiling, pellet stove and access to the spacious trex deck overlooking the gorgeous grounds with mature trees. You will become one with nature living here! The renovated solarium could be used as a formal dining room or just as extra living space. Granite countertops, oven & oven warmer, gas cooking, and tons of cabinet space are just some of the things that make this kitchen amazing. Custom built-ins and a sink might make doing laundry fun in this large laundry room. Just down the hall there is a full bathroom. The large first floor primary bedroom presents hardwood floors, recessed lighting, 2 closets, one that is a large custom walk-in closet. The ensuite bathroom has dual sinks, an enclosed glass shower with double shower heads and a linen closet. Head up the spiral staircase to another large room with hardwood floors. This room could easily be used as another bedroom, entertainment area, office or wardrobe closet. The second bedroom has a beautiful bay window with a view of the backyard, and the third bedroom has 5 windows, leaving both rooms with plenty of natural light. All rooms upstairs have vaulted ceilings. A full bathroom and 2 hall closets complete this floor. The finished portion of the basement has outside access with slider doors. The unfinished portion would make a perfect in-law suite as it has custom doors leading outside to the patio. Two major renovations took place over the years - one in 1990, which consisted of the addition to the right of the main home, added the two car garage, an enlargement to the kitchen, dining room and sunroom. The second addition in 2006 added the new entry foyer, the first floor primary bedroom suite, laundry room and office/entertainment room on the second floor. This upgrade also brought the septic system up to date, replacing a single 500 gallon holding tank with a 1000 gallon tank plus a new 500 gallon holding tank! Truly this 3 bedroom home could easily be used as a 5 bedroom. Make this home your own! This is the only house on the block that has natural gas! Newer HVAC, 2 new high efficiency on-demand tankless hot water heaters and baseboard heat system with zone heating and central air with separate upstairs and downstairs zones. The home and septic have been pre-inspected. This home is ready for its next owners to love it just like the ones who built it!
