Listing description

A rare opportunity to own a spacious home with a large, private-entry in-law suite offering exceptional flexibility for today's changing lifestyles! Welcome to 401 Oakland Drive, a versatile property situated on just under an acre in the peaceful Whitford Hills neighborhood within the highly desirable West Chester Area School District. The expansive in-law suite features its own private entrance, bedroom with walk-in closet, full en-suite bathroom, kitchenette, fireplace AND full unfinished basement — creating a truly separate and comfortable space with endless possibilities. Whether you're looking for multigenerational living, a private space for parents or adult children, a guest retreat, au pair or caregiver accommodations, a home office, or a private space for a college-age child, this suite can adapt to your needs. It could also provide an opportunity for a dedicated creative or professional workspace, or potential additional income-generating space, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. The possibilities make this home especially appealing to buyers looking for flexibility both now and in the years ahead. The main home offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including an exceptionally large primary suite with its own en-suite bathroom. Fresh interior paint and refinished hardwood floors provide a refreshed feel throughout. A large screened-in porch extends the living space outdoors and overlooks the generous property, creating a comfortable setting for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. Recent improvements include a new furnace and newly lined chimney. The home does not have central air, and the list price has been thoughtfully positioned to reflect this consideration, giving buyers an opportunity to make that improvement over time while benefiting from the home's substantial space, desirable location, and unique in-law suite. The location is hard to beat. Enjoy being within walking distance of Whitford Hills Country Club and Swim Club, while just minutes from Main Street at Exton, Eagleview, Downingtown, and West Chester. With convenient access to major roadways, shopping, dining, recreation, and everyday amenities, the home offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful, quiet neighborhood setting with exceptional central access to Chester County. With nearly an acre, a rare and generously sized private-entry suite, spacious bedrooms, a remarkable primary suite, screened-in outdoor living, and a truly convenient location, 401 Oakland Drive offers the space, versatility, and setting that are increasingly difficult to find. Whether your vision is multigenerational living, hosting guests, working from home, creating a private retreat for family, or simply having room to adapt as life changes, this home offers the flexibility to make it your 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.
