Description

Presenting a Fabulous Opportunity to bring your vision and imagination to usher this late 19th century Victorian style farmhouse into the 21st century! Original features, including generous room sizes, high ceilings, tall 2-over-2 windows, and wood flooring, provide a jumping off point for renovation. At one time, the property accommodated an in-home veterinary practice, as well as the family’s residence. The center entry hall is bordered by a spacious living room with vintage hardwood flooring and a dining room with built-in cabinets featuring glass doors. Both rooms have large windows that fill the home with natural light. The entry hall leads beyond the stairs and into the more recently renovated eat-in kitchen. The kitchen offers tile floors, beautiful wood cabinets with a built-in hutch, center island with electric smooth top range/oven, granite counters, farmhouse sink, and tile backsplash. Also on this floor is a former full bathroom with existing sink and toilet (plumbing is believed to be in place for tub/shower which is under a cabinet) and an additional room for a pantry, laundry, office, etc. On the 2nd floor, there are 3 large rooms, a potential full bathroom and laundry. During the years when the veterinary practice was active, the kitchen was located on the 2nd floor. This space could easily be converted back to a bedroom and there is potential to add a 2nd full bath on this floor. The 2 existing bedrooms each have 2 closets and large windows. The full hall bathroom is currently without a sink/vanity, however all plumbing is available. There is a 3rd floor walk-up, finished attic that was used as a bedroom/den combo – awesome space for a teenager! The attic also has an unfinished room for storage. A back staircase leads to the side/back yard. A unique feature of this property is the charming, historic log cabin which is structurally unstable and will require significant restoration. If able to be salvaged, it has potential for multiple uses including office space, artists studio, Airbnb, guest cottage, etc. (subject to township approvals). This recognizable building has been featured in Four Seasons of Chester County, Vol III by Chester County photographer Red Hamer. The property is just over an acre with a brick patio off the kitchen, pretty gardens waiting to be brought back to life, a recently paved driveway with plentiful parking, and an additional large parking area for a trailer, boat, camper, etc. Located in desirable West Chester School District, minutes from shopping (Trader Joes, Wegmans, Main Street at Exton, etc), restaurants, libraries, parks and within walking distance to the Whitford Train Station for an easy commute to Center City. Vibrant West Chester borough is within a 10-15 minute drive. With vision and investment, this property has the potential to be transformed into a truly special home while preserving its vintage appeal! Do Not Enter the Log Cabin.
