Listing description

Welcome to 497 Stewart Drive! If you’ve been searching for a single-family home in the West Chester Area School District with reasonable taxes, plenty of outdoor space, and a quiet neighborhood setting, this one deserves a look. Situated on more than half an acre in the established Brandywine Chase neighborhood, this 4-bedroom home offers a traditional layout, great storage, and an outdoor living space you’ll want to enjoy all season long. Inside, you’ll find LVP flooring throughout much of the main level, along with chair rail and crown molding in several rooms. The traditional floor plan includes a spacious living room and separate formal dining room. The kitchen features upgraded granite countertops and plenty of room for a sizeable table, while a closet in the adjacent mudroom is currently used as a convenient pantry. The family room is warm and inviting with a beautiful stone fireplace featuring a pellet stove that was recently serviced. A powder room and main-floor laundry room add everyday convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find four comfortably sized bedrooms, all with soft carpeting, along with a recently updated hall bathroom featuring tile flooring, a storage vanity, and tiled tub/shower combination. A pull-down attic in the hallway provides additional storage. One of the highlights of this home is the backyard. Step outside from either the dining room slider or the laundry room and onto the spacious covered patio—an ideal spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing while overlooking the tree-lined yard. Two ceiling fans help keep the space comfortable, and just beyond the patio you’ll find a charming mini pond complete with goldfish. Need storage? You’ll have plenty of options with two included sheds, the pull-down attic, and a large basement storage room. The basement also offers a finished tiled area that provides flexible bonus living space for a home office, playroom, workout area, or whatever best suits your needs. Additional updates include a new A/C system in 2024 and hot water heater in 2022. Come see 497 Stewart Drive for yourself—the peaceful neighborhood setting, spacious property, and fantastic covered back patio are even better in person!

Recomputed from the county assessment ($142,430, 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.
