Listing description

Nestled within the desirable High Point community of West Goshen Township, 956 Embree Lane offers the perfect blend of timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and peaceful suburban living — all just moments from West Chester Boro and West Chester Country Club. Situated on a picturesque 1-acre lot surrounded by pristine landscaping and stunning dogwoods, pride in ownership is immediately apparent from the moment you arrive. Step into the welcoming foyer where both the formal living room and spacious family room flank the entryway, creating an ideal flow for everyday living and entertaining. Hardwood flooring spans throughout the home while a neutral color palette provides a bright and timeless backdrop. The formal living room seamlessly connects to the elegant dining room located just off the kitchen, creating an effortless entertaining experience. The beautifully updated kitchen features white cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a peninsula with dual-sided access, and a sunny breakfast nook. Convenient first-floor laundry and a powder room add everyday functionality. The expansive family room showcases faux beam ceilings, a whitewashed brick fireplace, and abundant natural sunlight. Just beyond, a versatile flex space currently serves as a private office complete with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and sliding doors leading to the rear deck overlooking peaceful backyard views. Outdoor living shines with the maintenance-free Trex deck featuring built-in lighting, along with a screened three-season room off the kitchen complete with a ceiling fan — the perfect extension of the home for relaxing or entertaining throughout much of the year. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a dedicated en-suite bathroom featuring a large vanity, walk-in tile shower with niche, and a generous walk-in closet. Three additional sun-filled bedrooms with hardwood flooring are serviced by a centrally located hall bathroom with double vanity. Additional storage can be found in the floored attic with pull-down stair access. The finished basement provides multiple inviting living spaces including a cozy entertaining area with custom woodworking, a bar, powder room, and convenient outside entrance. An additional finished section offers a second family room along with a bright private office filled with natural light — ideal for today’s flexible lifestyle needs. Additional highlights include a large detached two-car garage perfect for parking, storage, or hobbyists, complete with its own floored attic storage space. Enjoy the benefit of comparatively low property taxes for the area. A transfer box and generator connector panel provide added peace of mind, while the newly completed driveway with old macadam removed and full regrading further reflects the meticulous care poured into this exceptional property. Seller is a licensed real estate agent.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $203,890, well below the ~$273,691 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 $1,993/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($203,890, 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.
