Property Description
A timeless West Chester single-family home on a sunny corner lot. Welcome to 401 West Barnard Street, a rare opportunity to own a quintessential borough home just steps from beloved Everhart Park and nestled near lively dining, vibrant festivals, and a dynamic arts and music scene. Period stonework, classic pillars, and an enchanting front porch with corner views, perfect for PorchFest entertaining, set the tone for this inviting cottage-style home, drenched in morning light from every direction. Inside, the home blends historic character with endless potential, featuring high ceilings, original hardwood floors, mid-century wood paneling, vintage cabinetry, built-in bookcases, and a decorative fireplace. The primary floor offers three bedrooms, a full bath, along with a kitchen conveniently tucked directly off the dining room with abundant cabinetry and storage. Walk upstairs to an unfinished second floor - a blank canvas ready to be transformed. Finish it to nearly double the living space and create additional rooms suited to your needs. A full basement with high ceilings provides possibilities for a workshop, playroom, or future finished area. Outside, a beautifully fenced-in backyard is perfect for entertaining, gardening, or playing with your fur baby. This low-maintenance lifestyle is enhanced with a convenient one-car garage and a bonus off-street parking spot. Just blocks from the heart of downtown, this charming property is the perfect opportunity to bring your vision to life - ideal for those who value single-family living paired with a walkable West Chester lifestyle.
