About This Home
As of March 2023This bright and beautiful Thornbury model home is nestled on a highly desirable lot in Hershey’s Mill, West Chester’s premier, gated community for active adults. Overlooking the 9th hole with views of the fairway and pond, this upgraded, well-maintained home boasts priceless views, abundant space, light and an effortless flow. Step inside and notice the oversize picture windows, updated wide-plank hardwood floors, recessed lighting and neutral paint throughout. Just off the foyer sits a lovely eat-in kitchen with center island, quartz countertops, closet pantry and large window with built-in bench below. From the kitchen it’s just a few steps to the spacious dining room and soaring sunroom beyond, which the current owners converted to a year-round space with panoramic views of the golf course, pond and walking trails. The sunroom also connects to an inviting family room with wood-burning fireplace. Just down the hall you’ll find a full bath, laundry room, spacious secondary bedroom and first-floor primary suite with large window seat, ensuite full bath and walk-in closet with custom organization system. More space awaits in the walk-out lower level, which contains a third bedroom, full bath and an open living area with room for a home office or gym. A glass door leads to a rear patio that’s perfect for soaking up the golf course vistas and dining al fresco. For stress-free living and peace of mind, the neighborhood HOA handles all exterior maintenance, including grass cutting, snow, and garbage removal, as well as home cable and Internet service. Within Hershey’s Mill, you’ll find a thriving community spread over 800 breathtaking acres with endless amenities, from walking trails, tennis courts, pools to a library, sports complex and wood shop! In the coveted Franklin Village, you’ll have access to a community pool that is only accessed by Franklin Village’s residents. You will also be invited to exclusive Franklin village events such as the annual bocce challenge, holiday party, and pool gatherings. The community also offers convenient access to the towns of Malvern, Paoli and West Chester, plus popular attractions like People’s Light theatre and East Goshen Park. Property includes uncovered parking spaces and a detached, one-car garage. All appliances in as is condition.
