About This Home
As of October 2022Welcome home to your beautiful 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom twin, located in the desirable Borough of West Chester. You are mere blocks to all the downtown shops, restaurants, and amenities! Greenfield and Rustin Bayard Park are just steps from your home! Through the front door, enjoy relaxing evenings on your enclosed front porch. Enter the home and you are greeted by an open floor plan living and dining area. Charm and modern convenience marry perfectly in this gorgeous home. Notice the extensive wood moldings and original hardwood flooring. These details are becoming increasingly hard to find. Through the dining room, you enter the kitchen with gas cooking, tile flooring, granite countertops, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and solid wood cabinets. A large pantry and an eat-in area complete the kitchen. The powder room is located on the main level for your convenience and has been recently renovated. Beyond the kitchen is your spacious family room with a gas fireplace and access to your rear screened-in porch. Enjoy summer nights in this expansive space, entertaining or just enjoying your view of the private backyard. The deck off the porch gives access to the backyard complete with a patio area to enjoy and entertain, as well as a storage shed for all your outdoor items. Please note there is no alley behind this home, giving more privacy to the backyard. Back inside, head upstairs to the second floor. The full bath is light and bright; this space has been recently renovated with newer flooring, bathtub, and fixtures. You’ll notice exposed brick adding charm to the three bedrooms. The primary bedroom has three spacious closets (a rare find in these homes!) as well as access to the attic. The basement is unfinished and offers lots of storage space as well as a washer and dryer. This home has been well-kept with new shingles on the main portion of the roof, recent exterior paint, main sewer line replacement, main water line replacement, and a new sump pump! This home is situated on a very low-density block across from the original West Chester train station that has been attractively restored into an office building and can be seen sitting far back off the street through attractive and well-kept landscaping. This offers the residences of the block easy parking due to such low residential density. Come see this home for yourself!
