The wonderful sentiment of "what's old is new again" can be best expressed in this newly renovated home in West Whiteland in the West Chester School District. Sitting on a beautiful lot measured just under a half-acre, with easy access to the restaurants and shops features in both the boroughs of West Chester and Downingtown, this home is a great opportunity in Chester County. Let's highlight what is new in the last two months. New Roof, Windows, Baths, HVAC, Plumbing, Appliances, Kitchen, interior doors, finished basement, Recessed Lighting, 200-amp Electrical Panel and most other electric replaced or updated to code. Freshly painted interior and exterior along with beautifully re-finished hardwood floors in all rooms except the ceramic tiled baths. One floor living features a large living room, Beautiful Eat-in Kitchen, a primary bedroom and bath along with two other bedrooms and hall bath. There is easy access to a floored attic for additional storage. The basement was previously finished but has been reimagined to allow you the option to make it your space. A large, finished area with an exterior door allows great access for entertainment inside and out. An old fashion ceramic wood/coal stove has been left in place as a visual centerpiece (whether it works or not is up to the new owner). Laundry access is in the basement area along with great storage space. The lot is mostly level and reflects evidence of a former gardener with nice exterior lighting and some mature landscape plantings that should pop out again in the spring. In addition, a large "garage-type" storage shed in the driveway offers easy access for tools, bikes, motorcycles, you name it. Consider that this home should not offer any mechanical surprises for many years to come and should compare to new construction offerings at a much better price for a single home. Come and make this House, your Home!
