About This Home

As of June 2024

Situated within the sought-after West Chester School District, this delightful Cape Cod home is well-appointed with a variety of upgrades, making it ready for immediate occupancy. As you enter the home, you are welcomed into the foyer that opens into a spacious living area, seamlessly extending to an expansive two-tiered wood deck, an ideal setting for relaxation or entertaining in the vast, flat backyard. The backyard itself is a standout feature, offering ample space for gardening, leisure, and outdoor activities, all while maintaining privacy. The dining area is brightened by a charming bay window that invites abundant natural light. The heart of this home is its modernized kitchen, outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and contemporary recessed lighting. The home's layout includes three bedrooms, complemented by carpeting throughout. If first floor living is what you are looking for, this home features a sizable bedroom with double closets and easy access to a beautifully updated full hall bathroom. An additional room provides versatility, perfect as an office, family room, or extra bedroom. The main floor also hosts a refreshing and convenient laundry/ utility room, a utility sink, and updated tile flooring. Venture upstairs to the owners suite, which serves as a serene sanctuary with a cathedral ceiling, dual large closets, and a private bathroom featuring a stall shower and extensive storage. A third spacious bedroom with ample closet space completes the upper level. Additional amenities include an oversized one-car garage with built-in storage, an extra-wide driveway, and two large sheds for additional storage solutions. Its prime location offers convenient access to major transportation routes including Rt 202, the Turnpike, Rt 30, and the Exton train station, simplifying commutes. This home is more than just updated—it's been thoughtfully enhanced for contemporary living, and key updates include newer siding, innovative mini-split systems in each upstairs bedroom for personalized climate control, and a freshly painted interior. Do not miss your opportunity to make this home yours! Some photos are virtually staged.
