Craving a home where the heavy lifting is already done? This three-bedroom, two-bathroom charmer packs nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space into one of West Chester's most walkable pockets and the list of recent improvements reads like a wish list. Consider this: a roof replaced in 2019, a fresh deck added in 2021, a stylish kitchen remodel in 2022, and a trifecta of 2023 upgrades including new heating and cooling, a new water heater, and all-new windows. Both bathrooms were reimagined in 2024, meaning you can unpack, exhale, and skip the contractor's phone number entirely. Quality craftsmanship shows in every corner. The main living areas feel bright and welcoming, while three comfortable bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or that home office you keep promising yourself. Outside, the newer deck begs for morning coffee or weekend grilling, and dedicated parking spares you the borough shuffle for a spot. Location seals the deal. Marshall Square Park sits just steps away, where mature trees shade leisurely strolls and the calendar fills with summer concerts and festive holiday events. Downtown's lively dining scene, West Chester Seafood Kitchen among them, is a short walk, while the West Chester Transit Center keeps commuters connected. Need everyday essentials? Target is a quick drive up the road. Peaceful streets, friendly neighbors, and turnkey convenience combine to create something genuinely rare in today's market. Move-in-ready homes with this much recent investment don't linger long. Schedule your private tour today and see why this one simply feels right.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($142,940, 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.
