Set on an acre in the heart of West Chester Borough, this historic c. 1790 home with modern amenities retains its original charm and stunning architectural details. This property, known as the “David Townsend House,” was owned by the Chester County Historical Society until 2002, when it was purchased and restored for use as a private residence. Current owner added substantial enhancements in 2017. Enter into the large center hall foyer with wood floors that flow throughout the home. To the left you will find a cozy fireside living room which opens into the formal dining room, also with a fireplace. On the opposite side of the home is the thoughtfully designed eat-in kitchen which opens into the family room. Cooking and entertaining are a breeze in the kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and lots of cabinets and counter space. A stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed beams is the focal point of the family room, which also features built-ins, a fireplace, and French doors to the patio and yard. Off the family room there is a convenient mudroom area with a powder room and laundry. Utilize the study off the kitchen as a private home office. At the back of the home, you will find the main floor primary suite with walk-in closets and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The second floor features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms as well as a home gym and family room, while the third floor holds two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Within easy walking distance of all that downtown West Chester has to offer including shopping, dining, parks, and more!
