Listing description

Photos arriving soon. Welcome to this charming four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath classic Colonial, ideally situated just a few blocks from downtown West Chester on a nearly half-acre lot. Offering timeless character, generous living spaces, and an exceptional location, this home presents a wonderful opportunity. Step inside to a traditional and welcoming floor plan featuring original parquet flooring that adds warmth and character throughout. The main level includes a spacious eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and large living room. Upstairs, you’ll find four well-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Outside, the nearly half-acre property offers plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, and recreation. An attached garage and private driveway provide convenient parking and additional storage. Located just blocks from the heart of downtown West Chester, you’ll enjoy convenient access to its shops, restaurants, parks, and community amenities, along with easy access to major routes. Many of the major improvements have already been completed by the current owner, including replacement of the roof, windows, siding, oil tank, electrical panel, and furnace—allowing the next owner to focus on updating the interior to suit their own style. While the interior is ready for updating, the home has been priced accordingly, and presented "As-Is", creating an excellent opportunity for buyers willing to invest some time and creativity. This classic Colonial offers the chance to create a home tailored to your taste while enjoying nearly half an acre in an outstanding West Chester location.

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.
