Welcome to 1230 Hawthorne Lane, a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath classic two- story home nestled in the established Spring Valley Farm neighborhood. Step through the double front doors and into a warm, inviting floor plan filled with natural light. To the right, a spacious dining room features custom built-in shelving and an oversized bay window. Just beyond is a versatile room currently used as a home office that could easily serve as a bonus first-floor bedroom, den or flex space. The beautifully maintained hardwood floors continue into the updated kitchen, featuring granite countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, classic white cabinetry and sleek black appliances in like-new condition. An eat-in area opens naturally to the family room, where a propane fireplace creates a cozy gathering space and sliding doors lead to one of the home's true highlights, the enclosed sunporch. Bright, airy and almost beachy in feel, this inviting retreat features white tile floors, walls of sliding glass doors, five skylights, ceiling fans and accent lighting, all overlooking the backyard and inground swimming pool. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee and a good book, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying the view of the pool and surrounding landscaping. The pool has not been opened for several years but has been properly closed and winterized, with a new filter installed and periodic maintenance performed by Bauer Pools. It was not opened this season. A professional pool evaluation is scheduled to be completed prior to the start of showings, with additional information forthcoming. Rounding out the first floor are a full bath with stall shower, a convenient laundry/mudroom and interior access to the two-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms. Two share a spacious hall bath with a Corian-topped vanity, tile flooring, beadboard accents and a newly installed tub/shower. Originally designed as a four-bedroom home, the primary bedroom was expanded to create a larger retreat with ample closet space and a private ensuite bath featuring double sinks, tile flooring and a stall shower. The partially finished basement provides even more flexibility, with plenty of room for a playroom, workout area, hobby space or additional family room. A smaller adjoining room, previously used as an office, offers additional possibilities, while the mechanical room houses the home's systems and provides egress to the side yard. Additional features include a central vacuum system, whole-house water softener, new central air conditioning system installed in 2024 and a new water heater in 2026. The current owner has also prioritized ongoing care of the property, maintaining regular service contracts for the HVAC system, pest control and lawn care. All of this is located in the West Chester Area School District and just minutes from East High School, Fugett Middle School and Glen Acres Elementary. Downtown West Chester, with its restaurants, shops, and Uptown Knauer Performing Arts Center is also nearby, along with West Goshen Community Park and the everyday conveniences of West Goshen Town Centre and Goshen Crossing Shopping Center. Come experience the space, setting and possibilities of 1230 Hawthorne Lane for yourself. Schedule your private showing today or join us at one of our Open Houses, Saturday, August 29th or Sunday, August 30th from 11 AM–1 PM.

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.
