Listing description

Close to central Downingtown, with downtown West Chester just a quick drive away, 5 Southwind Lane in East Caln Township offers easy access to two of Chester County’s favorite towns. Set within a well-manicured neighborhood with sidewalk lined streets, this four-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial features inviting living areas, a finished lower level and a private, fenced backyard ready to enjoy! Step inside to the two-story foyer, where neutral paint, detailed moldings, tall ceilings, and hardwood flooring throughout portions of the first floor set the tone. A light-filled living room to the right offers an easy place to sit and unwind, while the dining room to the left is ready for dinner parties and holiday meals. Continue down the foyer hallway toward the back of the home, where the rooms naturally come together for everyday life. The eat-in kitchen features white cabinetry, gas cooking, a pantry closet, a center island with bar seating, a built-in desk and a window above the sink overlooking the yard. There is plenty of room for a large table, while sliding glass doors open directly to the deck for dining outside, grilling and entertaining. Football Sundays are upon us! Back inside, the adjoining family room is anchored by a gas fireplace - an inviting setting for everything from quiet weeknights to a house full of guests. A powder room, foyer coat closet and laundry room/drop zone with access to the two-car garage complete this floor. Upstairs, just off the large hallway landing, French doors open to the spacious primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom featuring a dual-sink vanity, large stall shower and soaking tub. Three generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet storage, share a full hallway bathroom with a dual-sink vanity, tub/shower combination, and linen closet. Looking for even more room? The finished lower level offers multiple areas that can adapt to the way you live - whether that means a movie room, playroom, home gym, office or hobby area - along with ample storage space. A separate all-season room, measuring approximately 180 square feet, provides another place to relax, while sliding doors from both spaces lead to the lower patio and fenced backyard, where mature surroundings offer a sense of privacy. New hot water heater installed in 2024, with a new roof and new HVAC system installed in 2015. Living here puts the best of the area within easy reach! Start your morning with coffee at Evergreen and a quick stop at Wegmans, meet friends for dinner at local favorites like Station Taproom, La Sponda or Anthony’s Cucina Fresca, and grab drinks at Victory Brewing. Spend weekends walking, running or biking along the nearby Struble and East Branch Brandywine trails. The East Branch Brandywine Trail connects to Harmony Hill Nature Area, offering even more hiking and mountain biking trails to explore. A nearby pickleball club and multiple fitness centers offer additional ways to stay active. Downtown West Chester is a quick ride for Gay Street dining, local shops and community events, while Exton offers even more shopping, restaurants and everyday conveniences, including Trader Joe’s. The current Downingtown train station, serving both SEPTA and Amtrak, is just minutes away, with a future relocation planned. Nearby Routes 30, Business 30 and 322 make commuting easy. Located within the Downingtown Area School District and with NO neighborhood HOA—what’s not to love? Cared for by the same family for nearly 30 years, this home is ready for its next chapter.

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.
