Listing description

Set on a peaceful one-acre lot in West Pikeland Township on the historic 140 mile Horse-Shoe Trail running from Valley Forge National Park to Hershey, PA, 1975 Horseshoe Trail offers a wonderful combination of character, comfortable living space, and a private wooded setting in prestigious Downingtown Area School District. The stone-accented, Hardie board exterior, charming front porch and mature landscaping create an inviting first impression, while inside, hardwood floors and an abundance of natural light carry throughout much of the home. The updated eat-in kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring ample cabinetry, recessed and pendant lighting, a butcher block island with farmhouse-style sink, and plenty of workspace. The laundry room with cabinets and a laundry sink is conveniently located in the kitchen. A sliding glass door provides easy access to the deck with built-in benches, while the kitchen flows naturally into the surrounding living spaces. The home offers two fireplaces, including a striking stone fireplace with wood-burning insert in the spacious family room, where a vaulted wood ceiling, exposed beams, skylights, hardwood floors, and multiple sets of sliding glass doors give the room a warm and distinctive feel. The second fireplace is featured in the formal living room looking out over the lush front yard. A first-floor primary bedroom adds convenience to the floor plan and features an updated private bath with radiant floor heat, step-in shower with glass enclosure, double sink and a generously sized walk-in closet with custom built-in storage. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a full hall bathroom provide plenty of flexibility for family and guests. The partially finished basement provides additional living space that can easily serve as a recreation room, home gym, office, or media area, while unfinished space offers additional storage. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Outside, the one-acre property is surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping, creating a peaceful setting with plenty of room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Don’t miss the whole house generator! Also, for your furry friends, the entire front and back yards are protected by an electric fence. Located in close proximity to Exton, Phoenixville and Malvern this four-bedroom home combines a flexible floor plan, updated spaces, distinctive architectural details, and a beautiful Chester County setting.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($283,130, 1998 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
