About This Home

As of August 2020

Welcome to 424 Garfield Avenue located on a quiet street in the heart of the Downingtown Borough. This charming Cape-style, brick front twin, is move-in ready with updates and neutral paint colors. The gated front deck is large, inviting and a great place for an al fresco meal. Enter the home's spacious and bright living room and you are greeted by hardwood floors and a large picture window. The eat-in kitchen has beautiful cabinets, soft close drawers and gas cooking. The main level also has a full bathroom, bedroom and den which could easily be turned into a 4th bedroom. The hardwood floors continue upstairs to the large master bedroom with recessed lights, large closet and an updated bathroom with a granite vanity and tiled shower. An additional bedroom with bright skylights and large closet complete the second floor. The basement is a great additional flex space and also has expansive storage and laundry. Walk outside to a fully fenced backyard with shed and raised garden beds. The patio features a retractable awning which completes this enjoyable entertaining space. This location offers great access to borough amenities and it provides an in-town lifestyle but with the ease of off-street parking and a great backyard. Close proximity to restaurants, schools, parks, R5 train station, Rt 30 and the PA Turnpike. Award winning Downingtown School District. Showings start 7/6!
