About This Home

As of March 2020

Welcome to 500 Washington Avenue, a truly unique opportunity for homeownership where a lifestyle of pure convenience blends with elegant interiors begging to entertain inside and out! Filled to the brim with character and charm while giving way to beautiful architecture throughout the original part of the home built in 1895, this home has been immaculately maintained and gracefully updated from top to bottom. Enter the stately exteriors through the brick-walled perimeter dripping with beautiful green ivy, and iron gate entry into the original section of this sprawling home that spans to an estimated 3,500 square feet with a separate building in the back ideal for an in-law suite or rental/supplemental income potential (approximately 1,200 sqft)! Greeted by a stunning foyer with marble tile and lovely stained glass accents, the original section of the home features tall ceilings, formal living and dining rooms with gorgeous hardwood flooring, and 2 levels of comfortable sleeping quarters perfected with plush new carpet, newly painted walls, sun-filled spaces, and spacious closets! The 2nd level offers 3 bedrooms with a shared hall bath, and the 3rd level, suitable for a private master suite, conveys its own bathroom with tub/shower combo. Entertain with delight, in a lovely country kitchen heightened by floor to ceiling cherry cabinetry/pantry storage, built-in wine storage, a planning desk, sleek granite countertops, a center island with tall breakfast bar to comfortably seat 2-3, stainless steel appliances, electric range with downdraft, and accented by charming exposed shingles giving the illusion of being in an English country cottage. The transition from the kitchen into the back portion of the home featuring an additional area ideal for more informal eating and entertaining, and steps down to an expansive family room heightened by a tall vaulted ceiling with wood beams. This area is complete with a cozy coal-burning stove, and set at the top of the steps is a noteworthy accent wall detailed with arched stained glass window panes salvaged from a church. The lower level offers ample place for storage space, and also can act as guest quarters with a kitchenette, a full bathroom, and private access to the side of home! Entertain with absolute ease in the outdoor courtyard as you step out of the family room to find a covered patio, play area, and gated access to an in-ground pool with paver patio surround, a hot tub to comfortably seat 3, and so much more! You can even practice off the golf course on your very own putting green! The detached Guest House with an estimated 1,200 sqft is an incredible opportunity to allow for additional rental income, housing a full living room, kitchen, laundry closet, 1 full bath, and 2 additional bedrooms with option of a 3rd in the upper level loft - all with private access to the back of home with a shared driveway for parking behind the unit! An additional room sits to the front of the second home which could potentially be used as an office or poolhouse! The possibilities are endless with this exceptional estate and is one that cannot be missed in your home search. This home is truly one to be seen in person to appreciate the endless features and amenities that convey! Several noteworthy upgrades include a newer electrical system, flat roofs, and roof shingles have been replaced within the past 5 years, the pool was re-constructed about 10 years ago and re-tiled just recently. The main part of the home features centrally located ductless heating and cooling units made by Mitsubishi. The guest house is built with central air and a heat pump. There is an inner-connected fire alarm system between the main house and guest house, as well as a built-in security system if desired. Schedule a private showing today to see this incredible home centrally located in Downingtown Borough and just across the street from East Ward Elementary.
