Step inside to a welcoming center hall entry with an inviting dining room on the left and a handsome living room on the right. Both feature crown molding and oak hardwood floors, which extend throughout the entire first floor. With its southern exposure, the rear of the home is filled with sunlight throughout the day. To the rear, you’ll find the heart of the home—an upgraded and inviting kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a tile backsplash. The kitchen opens naturally to a spacious family room centered around a warm wood-burning fireplace. The breakfast area leads to a gracious, spacious deck overlooking the peaceful setting, while a lower deck surrounds the pool below, creating an ideal space for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. The finished daylight walkout basement functions as a true extension of the home’s living space, with sliding doors providing direct access to the yard, woods, and pool, and easy return indoors for changing out of wet bathing suits.

Extensive storage and shelving provide exceptional functionality and a place for everything.

Three additional well-sized bedrooms each offer ample closet space and are served by a tastefully updated hall bath. Set after a slight bend in the road, the home is oriented to provide enhanced backyard privacy. From the deck, pool, or deep in the yard, you’ll enjoy a quiet that is difficult to find today. The property extends into the woods, creating a lasting sense of peaceful solitude. What sets this home apart is the confidence it offers to you. Major systems have already been updated, including a new roof (2025), heater, central air conditioning, and hot water heater (2024), along with a well pump (2016). NEW pool liner to be installed 6-20. The HVAC system is a heat pump with oil backup, requiring not even one full tank over the past two winters.

There's space here for more than just your cars, and the driveway provides ample extra parking space.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($174,600, 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.
