Listing description

Welcome to 1520 Hillcrest Ln—a spacious four-bedroom Colonial tucked away on a private 2-acre cul-de-sac lot in the Downingtown Area School District. Featuring an in-ground pool, a finished walkout basement, multiple outdoor living spaces, and numerous recent updates, this property combines the privacy of a country setting with the convenience of a modern, thoughtfully maintained home. The main level showcases freshly painted walls and 3/4" hardwood flooring throughout. A flexible study/office, formal dining room, and eat-in kitchen provide ample space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances (purchased in 2024), generous counter space, and a center island with extra seating and storage. Just off the kitchen, a bright sunroom boasts new luxury vinyl flooring and expansive views of the professionally landscaped grounds. The adjacent family room centers around a wood-burning fireplace with propane hookup and opens via sliding doors to the elevated Azek deck. A powder room and convenient access to the attached two-car garage complete the main level, while a covered front porch and screened-in porch offer inviting spots to relax. Upstairs, new carpeting extends across the four bedrooms and hallway. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and a remodeled ensuite bath with a marble double vanity and a glass walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath complete with a dual vanity, LVP flooring, and a tub/shower combination. The finished walkout basement provides a large recreation/living area, a versatile flex room ideal for an office, gym, or playroom, and a full bath with tile flooring, a single vanity, and a walk/roll-in shower, alongside generous unfinished storage space. Outdoors, the private backyard is designed for relaxation and entertaining. Mature landscaping surrounds a hardscaped patio, firepit area, dining space, storage shed, and an in-ground concrete pool (which received new plaster, coping and tile in 2023 and a new pump/motor in 2026). Major capital improvements include a new HVAC system (2025), a new shed (2025), updated baths, new second-floor carpet, and a whole-house water filtration system.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($190,800, 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.
