Listing description

Update: Sellers have had an offer which is not accepted. A comparable model house without public water, natural gas, metal roofing and sunroom just sold next block for above listing price. A rare availability (for a limited time) and a great value in this sought-after neighborhood. Why pay for a townhome and HOAs, when you can have this easy-to-maintain solid efficient single-family home with low taxes, ideal for healthy, peaceful living in Longwood Estates, a safe established community in the Chadds Ford area, and home to top-ranked school districts. In addition, this home offers several valuable remodeled features not found in many nearby properties:  1. Connected to natural gas and municipal water, not common in the area (a $30,000 value). Well water is still available too; 2. New metal roofing installed in 2023 (a $25000 value), known to last for $70+ years, 2-3 times the lifespan of asphalt shingles; 3. Insulated and heated sunroom with 360-degrees of premium wooden-frame Pella windows, with utility as an area for work, study, play, exercise or host guests (A $30,000 value); 4. Fully finished lower level with a ping-pong table (optional to keep) which can also be used for storage, or as a guest or game room. There is direct access to the garage which offers additional crawl-space storage, or workshop opportunities; 5. Chemical-free landscape (0.7 acres) with young organic fruit trees, safe for people, pets and gardening. Sellers have never sprayed the land or trees with any pesticides or chemicals so it is completely non-toxic for pets or others playing in the yard and for planting/gardening; 6. A large, private and peaceful backyard with mature and locally significant specimen trees such as Sugar Maple, Walnut, White Pine, Cedar, Hemlock, and Persimmon fruit trees, and a small fenced area containing a play set and ideal for recreation, pets/chickens; 7. Chemical-free, and pet-free living areas inside: Only non-toxic cleaners used and shoes always removed prior to entering, leaving the hardwood floors in good shape; 8. The 3rd bedroom upstairs is currently fitted with an ergonomic home office or study room with premium solid, cherry desk space that offers cabinet space as well as bookshelves (a $5000 value). This home, situated away from the road, faces a large wooded estate and not crowded busy commercial or residential developments. The large front casement window opens to a beautiful cross view of trees/nature.  Other attractive features include: Quality hardwood floors and beautiful natural light coming through the large living room window, beautiful oak cabinets and granite countertops in the partially open kitchen, ideal for food preparations or breakfast conversations without disturbing other rooms. Directly next to the kitchen is the dining room which makes it easy when hosting holidays or game nights. Upstairs is where you will find three (3) bedrooms with matching hardwood floors and numerous closets, and a full bathroom with a window.  You have the option to keep some furniture items and fixtures if it saves you time and money on your move and initial furniture purchase. This house is only minutes from the world-renowned Longwood Gardens and the Brandywine Valley region, and allows easy access to shops and restaurants (in Kennett Square or Wilmington), Rt 52, Rt. 1, Philadelphia and nearby towns in Maryland.  Bidding, Offers and Timeline: The listed price is a suggested bid.  All bids/offers received throughout the week are reviewed on the following Tuesday (ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS), and sellers reserve the right to either accept/negotiate a best offer (value and terms), or continue the listing/showing.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $133,820, well below the ~$186,232 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 $2,105/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($133,820, 1998 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.

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.
