Description

2 ACRES, West Chester Schools and LOW TAXES! Although technically a twin, this house feels very much like a single-family home with the peace and privacy of an over 2 acre lot backing to community open space! Discover the unique charm of this historic 1700s farmhouse, nestled in picturesque Thornbury Township. This home is in a low fee HOA community that share a pond, clubhouse, playground, pavilion, trails and open space offering the best of both worlds; community and privacy. As you approach the home, you’re welcomed by a delightful covered front porch, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening sunsets. Step through the slate foyer into a spacious dining room featuring built-in shelving, ideal for showcasing your favorite books or decor. The large family room is a true highlight, complete with a cozy fireplace, recessed lighting and beautiful windows with deep sills that bathe the space in natural light. Ample closet storage in both the dining and family rooms ensures practicality meets style. To the left, you’ll find a generous kitchen, the heart of this home. With an abundance of cabinet storage, a stunning drainboard cast-iron farmhouse sink, a gorgeous custom island with electric, handmade butcher block countertops and a charming wood-burning stove, this kitchen is perfect for both everyday cooking and holiday gatherings. Imagine baking Christmas cookies by the roaring fire or savoring your coffee on a crisp fall morning. Adjacent to the kitchen is the sun porch, a versatile space that serves as a mudroom or sitting area, conveniently located off the back door leading to the expansive rear yard. With trails and ponds just beyond, this space is your perfect drop zone after a long nature walk, featuring plenty of hooks for jackets and room for boots or a bench for accessories. Venture upstairs to find three spacious bedrooms, all filled with natural light from large windows. The home’s beautiful wide plank, random width floors add to the timeless appeal. A well-appointed hall bath with a tub completes this level. The third story boasts a 4th and 5th bedroom currently used as a game room—an ideal hangout for kids or extra living space that can easily transition to an office or guest room. A large walk-in attic provides additional storage options. The expansive basement, accessible from both the kitchen and exterior, houses the laundry and mechanicals, with potential for finishing into additional living space. This was the original kitchen in this 1770s farmhouse and later used as a wine cellar for former owners. There is a large fireplace in this basement that is not only gorgeous, but functional too! Former owners used this fireplace often and you can imagine the space as a finished living area.
