Totally refreshed inside & out with new paint, fans, and fixtures … you’ll see the vision for so much more — a great 100-year opportunity for you to get in the Borough with 2 off-street spaces! Loved by the current owners with memories walking to the QVC Christmas Parade and many of the other annual events, they created and provided a HOME for themselves + others through a prosperous investment. With an incredible location between Marshall Square Park and just 2 blocks from some of West Chester Borough’s hot spots — Bar Avalon, Roots Cafe, The Social, Opa — you’ll appreciate the ability + convenience to live your best Borough life. Outside you’ll enjoy swinging on the front porch while having a manageable back yard space with fence, patio, and separate basement entrance. Inside you'll notice the classic Town floor plan with charm & character throughout — from the built-ins to the “Harry Potter” cupboard … envision a totally open concept with a kitchen redesign, plans to open into the Dining space + flow into the Living area. The back entryway, by the powder room and basement access, provides a great area for a mudroom and everyday use from your parking. Hardwood flooring continues from most of the main floor to the sleeping quarters upstairs: 3 bedrooms plus a loft (potential 4th bedroom) and hall bathroom with clawfoot tub. Imagine what you could do in the loft space with exposed brick — currently accessed through the front bedroom with a repurposed Confessional door, having a potential entrance from the hall to create its own space ... or think of an en-suite bathroom / dressing room. Your future awaits you here: perfect for any owner occupant looking for the idyllic Borough lifestyle, a budding entrepreneur who loves historic charm + character, or a smart investor looking for many returns. Take a look so that you can really get to experience what it’s like as a West Chester "Townie!"
