Property Description

Sustainable Charm Meets Modern Comfort in Sought-After Chatwood Located just outside vibrant West Chester Borough in the highly desirable Chatwood community, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers both space and sustainability. Featuring generously sized rooms, the layout includes a formal dining room with elegant panel molding and a spacious kitchen with granite countertops, ample cabinetry, chair rail detailing, and high-end appliances—including a chef’s 6-burner gas range. French doors lead from the kitchen to a private back deck with pergola, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Eco-conscious buyers will appreciate the 17-panel solar energy system with two backup batteries, significantly reducing electric bills (approximately $50/month in summer with central AC). While the home remains grid-connected, you'll rarely need it. Ownership of the solar system transfers to the buyer, with monthly payments of $350 financed through Sunnova. Payment includes maintenance of panels including roof repair. Recent updates include: 2024: Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, completely renovated bathrooms with wall-mounted towel warmers, new deck stairs, exterior power washing & painting, new exterior light fixtures, vented glass block windows in the basement, a new 50-gallon water heater, and updated smoke & CO2 detectors. 2023: New front, kitchen, and back doors by Power Home Remodelers, new stepping stone pathways. 2022: Extra-wide gutters, newly planted plum and apple trees, blueberry bushes, grapevines, eco-friendly yard conversion with wood chips, and tree work. Earlier improvements: Fresh interior paint (2020), tear-off roof (2015), garage door with keypad and remote (2012), replacement windows on both floors (2010), and updated basement, mudroom, and patio doors (2002–2005). Additional features include a walk-up attic for extra storage or future expansion, a large basement, and a naturally landscaped yard designed to attract butterflies and fireflies while supporting local wildlife and reducing maintenance. This home offers quick access to West Chester University, downtown shops, restaurants, and nightlife. It’s a short drive to King of Prussia Mall (20 minutes), the PA Turnpike (15 minutes), and Philadelphia (45 minutes). Chatwood is known for its strong community feel, tree-lined streets, and prime location. Move-in ready and thoughtfully upgraded—this is not just a home, it’s a lifestyle.
