This charming Sears home, built in 1920, seamlessly blends the timeless appeal of a historic property with the modern conveniences of today’s living. The house retains all the character of its era, featuring original woodwork, high ceilings, and large, inviting windows that bathe the interior in natural light. Yet, it doesn’t sacrifice on the functionality that today’s buyers crave. Spacious walk-in closets, a dedicated pantry, and en suite bathrooms offer comfort and practicality, while a well-appointed bar and basement gym ensure there's no shortage of entertainment and convenience. The versatile third floor flex space adds extra value for those who work from home, need a playroom, or a large en-suite fifth bedroom. Set on a private full acre of land, this property provides ample outdoor space for gardening, play, or relaxation. Despite its peaceful, suburban setting, it’s just a short 15-minute walk to the heart of West Chester Borough, offering easy access to shops, dining, and entertainment. The perfect balance of historic charm and modern amenities, this home truly offers the best of both worlds—bringing a sense of nostalgia while meeting the needs of contemporary living. The 2017 two-story addition further elevates this property, offering an expansive primary bedroom oasis with a stunning cathedral ceiling, creating a serene retreat for rest and relaxation. The large kitchen, complete with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, provides more storage space than the average family requires, making it an entertainer’s dream. A two-car detached barn adds even more value to the property, equipped with its own electrical sub-panel and plumbing, making it an ideal candidate for conversion into a guest house or studio for less than $100,000. The estate-like setting includes a circular driveway, swing-set, and mature trees and plantings that enhance the home’s character and privacy, offering a peaceful sanctuary just moments from the vibrant life of West Chester Borough. This property is truly a "one-of-a-kind". If you're looking for the quintessential West Chester home, this is it. The Disclosures and Upgrades are appended to the listing in the Drop Down box.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
