About This Home

As of March 2021

Welcome to 709 S Matlack St., beautifully remodeled and nestled in the idyllic Borough of West Chester. You will be greeted by the charming front porch offering a great place to relax and people watch. From the porch, you will enter into a cozy family room with wide plank hardwood flooring and stunning architectural details including crown molding, arched entryways, 9 ft ceilings, and abundant natural light from walls of windows that continue throughout the home. Enjoy the generous-sized formal dining room, the perfect place to celebrate all your special occasions or quiet meals at home. The kitchen will be the home chef's dream with stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, granite countertops, peninsula with seating that opens to a sunroom with vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, skylights, and access to the private fully fenced backyard. A half bath completes the main floor. The stairway leads to the second floor with hardwood floors. This level offers 2 bedrooms both with good sized walk-in closets and a full hall bath. On the 3rd floor, you will be pleased to find a spacious third bedroom, a quiet retreat above it all. The finished basement provides even more living space with an exposed brick wall and separate laundry room area. The private fully fenced backyard is your own secret garden when spring arrives you will be surrounded by gorgeous flowering trees, perennials and flowers adorned with a pergola over the brick paver patio and a brick walkway that continues to a stone seating entertaining area. The brick paver walkway leads to the one car detached garage and off-street parking.
