About This Home

As of November 2024

Welcome to 487 Eaton Way, an expanded and updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom Hershey's Mill goshen model. This single-level home offers comfortable touches throughout, with the safety and convenience of a level path and no steps between your garage and your home.

Step inside to a cheerful open layout, neat as a pin and ready for you. The wide tiled foyer leads to a dramatic living and dining room combination. Soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights provide a sense of great space, with the cozy fireplace and gleaming hardwoods a feeling of warmth. A delightful setting to entertain guests. A wall of windows in the Florida room make this cheerful room ideal for more quiet or peaceful pursuits. The pristine eat-in kitchen adjoins all the "living" areas and is itself abundantly lit by natural light.

A really nice feature of this home is each of the bedrooms are sort of a "wing" apart and unto themselves for the quiet and privacy of all. Both bedrooms feature large walk-in closets and private ensuite bathrooms. The primary bathroom includes a spotless walk-in stall shower with frameless glass doors and safety grab bars.

Additional features include an oversized garage with the shortest and best access from car to home as you'll find. The systems and utilities are newer, the roof replaced in 2018, so there's nothing for you to worry over except "how shall I arrange my household to best suit me!"

Enjoy the maintenance-free lifestyle and the innumerable amenities of Hershey’s Mill. Tennis and pickleball courts, the clubhouse, golf if you like, walking paths, social clubs of every description await, with Eaton Village's very own pool short steps away. All just minutes from the heart of West Chester or the roads to take you to Philadelphia or Interstates and airport to the wide world beyond. This home is in great shape. Come have a look and celebrate the holidays here !
