My wife and I bought this "Lynetree" townhouse in West Chester close to Exton in April 1987 when it was first constructed. We moved into a single home in January 1992, and have kept the townhouse as a rental investment since that time. The improvements described above were completed in 2016. Previous tenants' comments. . . . Current, excellent tenant is leaving to occupy purchased home. Over the years, our tenants have told us they liked living there, just as we did. If you see it, you will understand why. Apart from everything else, on the first floor, with the double sliders opening to the deck and the woods in back, and because the townhome is built into a hillside, it sort of feels like a "treehouse." Requirements for tenants. . . . Excellent credit histories and personal references required, including a reference from current landlord. Note. . . . I understand that normal wear and turn occurs with any tenancy. But I am looking for tenants who will clean and care for the property as if it were their own, including regular maintenance and care of the granite countertops, hardwood floors and carpeting, which will help keep them looking nice and preserve their useful life. Tenant responsible for utilities; Note: availability date is approximate.
