Property Description

This expanded stone Cape is a hidden gem in West Chester Boro, graced with timeless character and tucked away on a quiet street overlooking Hoopes Park. A steep, gabled roof, dormer windows and front porch create a welcoming façade, while an elegant two-story foyer sets the tone for the gracious rooms inside. This home offers rock solid construction and classic architectural elements like hardwood floors (throughout most of the house), moldings, built-ins, homey nooks and crannies, and French doors, each adding so much personality and charm in their arrangement. Built in 1959 and home to the same family since that time, this was the site of many large, festive gatherings, and you'll appreciate how the flow of this house and its spacious rooms make it perfect for parties. The sunny living room features a magnificent picture window with views of the pretty front yard and the park, opposite a stone, wood-burning fireplace. A dining room has built-ins flanking a lovely alcove of French doors and double windows that open to a screened porch. And the kitchen, just adjacent, offers a beautiful garden window, plus a cozy breakfast room with a delightful picture window overlooking the flat backyard. A half bath sits nearby. The breakfast room extends into a sitting area with built-ins and a door to a small flagstone patio, as well as access to the driveway and garage. In classic Cape Cod design, this house has a full bath and two bedrooms on the main floor, each offering tons of light and a surprising amount of closet space. Upstairs there is another full bath and three more bedrooms, plus a bonus room—unfinished space that could easily be converted into another bedroom, playroom, or office space. Each of these airy rooms has playful details that you'll just love—from retractable, built-in “step stools” for little tooth-brushers in the bath, to bedrooms with features like storage benches under the dormer windows, a pocket door to a walk-in closet, a laundry chute, and a built-in bookcase that overlooks this floor's wide hall. What's more, this house has a whimsical basement with three-dimensional murals designed to look like houses (with dimension added by famed local artist Philip Jamison). This is a full basement, with plenty of space for storage in the unfinished area. The garage, as well, is oversized and offers additional space for storage, as well as a door leading to the backyard, which is teaming with perennial flowers and trees. There are also two sheds. This home has a newer roof (2020), replacement windows throughout most of the second floor, and a freshly painted exterior (2024). Best of all, it's walkable to all the shopping, restaurants and fun that West Chester Boro has to offer, not to mention, just steps from the largest park in town, with tennis, baseball, a playground, picnic areas, walking paths and so much more. Bring your vision and get ready to transform this one-of-a-kind house into the home of your dreams…make your appointment today!
