Listing description

**This property is being offered as a Public Auction Bid via Phone starting today and ending October 16, 2026 @ 6:00 PM. The listing price is the opening bid only and in no way reflects the final sale price. $25,000 initial investment is due on auction close date, 2% transfer tax to be paid by the purchaser. Property is being sold WITH RESERVE, and the List Price is for reference only. Settlement on or before December 15, 2026. Well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage at 3471 Horseshoe Pike in Honey Brook Township offering a rare mix of convenient location, usable outbuildings, and current income. The home features a second-floor master suite, nice kitchen cabinets, a family room with hardwood flooring, a full basement with concrete floor, washer/dryer, water softener, and newer appliances. Vinyl windows and siding, a front porch, and cement walks complement an exterior in top condition. A large attached garage with concrete floor and drain, loft storage, and workbench adds real utility, along with a 12' x 20' garden shed, spacious backyard, gardening area, and established landscaping on a 0.46-acre lot. Public sewer, well in the front yard, and oil-fired hot-water radiator heat. Currently generating $2,250 per month, this property works equally well as a local investment or a move-in ready home.

$93

Recomputed from the county assessment ($69,230, 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.
