About This Home
As of September 2021This Donegal model, two-bedroom, two-bath home in Hersheys Mill features a generous, open-concept living room and dining room, as well as an eat-in kitchen and sunroom. The home, which has been meticulously renovated with careful attention to detail, is well situated at the bottom of a cul-de-sac and is a corner property, ensuring plenty of peace and quiet. Freshly painted, and with high-quality, Pergo wood-like, wide-planked flooring throughout, as well as LED lighting with dimmers, the home is
move-in ready and maintenance-free. From the foyer, the open living room and dining room space features a pretty fireplace with white wood mantle, as well as crown molding. Sliders lead to the outdoor sunroom. From the dining room, there is easy access to the thoroughly renovated kitchen. New appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, GE oven, cooktop, and microwave, and a Whirlpool refrigerator. The beautiful quartz countertop has a tile backsplash, and the deep stainless kitchen sink is well placed under a double window. The kitchen also has undermount lighting and outlets, as well as a cozy breakfast area with window seat. The laundry is conveniently located off the kitchen. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and renovated en-suite bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower. The second bedroom is also spacious. The hall bath, also tastefully renovated, has a walk-in shower. The unfinished lower level and detached one-car garage offer plenty of space for storage and hobbies. Enjoy easy, one-floor living in this beautiful area, where you can enjoy everything all The Mill has to offer, including the Community Center, library, pool, golf course, tennis courts, wood shop, and walking trails. While social homeowners will love the numerous opportunities for activities with friends and neighbors, The Mill also is a perfect spot for those who prefer private, quiet pursuits. This verdant retreat, nestled in historic Chester County, is within easy access to the towns of Malvern and West Chester, as well as major thoroughfares, including West Chester Pike and Route 202. Its location is also close to top-quality health care institutions and parks. Additionally, Franklin Village is extremely well kept and even features its own pool!
