Listing description

Welcome to 1285 Belmont Avenue, where a thoughtful layout, comfortable living spaces, and a tucked-away cul-de-sac setting come together in a home designed for the way you want to live. Offering 4 bedrooms and 2/1 baths, the home is highlighted by a desirable main-level Primary Suite - providing flexibility for everyday living, guests, or those simply looking for the convenience of having everything they need on one floor. Three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom on the upper level offer plenty of room to accommodate family, visitors, a home office, or creative space. Outside, the fenced yard creates a private place to relax, entertain, garden, or play, while two garage spaces provide excellent storage and parking. This includes one extra-large garage bay for those who appreciate a little more room for vehicles, hobbies, or gear. Set on a cul-de-sac yet convenient to the restaurants, parks, shopping, and vibrant community of West Chester, this is a home that offers both neighborhood comfort and easy access to everything that makes the area such a special place to live. Add to that the peace of mind for the next owner: the home has been pre-inspected, with a select list of repairs proactively addressed prior to coming to market. It’s a refreshing approach that allows buyers to focus less on the unknown and more on making this home their own.

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.
