About This Home
As of October 2022Welcome home! This 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom, move-in ready twin is located in the desirable Borough of West Chester within walking distance to all the downtown shops, restaurants and amenities. Enter the front door and find a quaint covered front porch. Enter the home and you are greeted by an open floor plan living and dining room. Notice the extensive wood moldings and original hardwood flooring throughout. As you walk through the dining room into the kitchen with gas cooking, tile flooring, granite countertops, tile backsplash, recessed lighting and solid wood cabinets, you will be pleasantly surprised. 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 recently been remodeled. Enter the spacious family room with an attractive fireplace and access to the rear screened in porch. The deck off of 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. There is no alley behind this house, giving a more private feel to your backyard. Back inside, head upstairs to the second floor. The full bath is light and bright and has been recently remodeled with new flooring, tile and fixtures. There are three bedrooms on this level. The master 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 as well as the washer and dryer. This property has a great location, 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. All this in West Chester Borough for this price? Yes! So make your appointment today. This one will go fast!
