Listing description

Welcome to 20 S 5th Avenue, a spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home filled with character and offering plenty of room to make your own. From the classic brick exterior and welcoming covered front porch to the generous interior layout, this home provides an impressive amount of living space across multiple levels. Step inside to a large, open living room featuring warm wood-look flooring, charming architectural details and plenty of flexibility for creating separate sitting and gathering areas. Just beyond, an additional spacious room with wood wainscoting and built-in shelving makes an ideal formal dining room, family room or home office. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a subway tile backsplash and plenty of workspace, while an adjoining bonus area provides even more cabinetry and counter space—perfect for additional storage, a coffee bar, pantry area or everyday drop zone. A full bath completes the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms, including a front bedroom highlighted by a large three-window bay with a built-in window seat and beautiful natural light. A second full bath serves this level. Continue to the upper floor where additional finished space beneath the roofline creates even more possibilities for bedrooms, an office, playroom, hobby space or private retreat. Outside, enjoy the covered front porch overlooking the neighborhood, plus a rear deck and backyard with room to create your own outdoor retreat. An unfinished basement provides valuable storage and utility space. With four bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, multiple flexible living areas and the kind of space and character that can be difficult to find, 20 S 5th Avenue offers a great opportunity for its next owner to bring their vision and make it home.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $41,160, well below the ~$58,102 its asking price implies at Chester County's common level ratio (30.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $839/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($41,160, 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.
