Description

Well-built 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick Colonial located in the highly sought-after Green Hill Terrace Community of West Chester. This classic two-story colonial with a side-entry 2-car garage sits on a beautifully landscaped, park-like half-acre lot. The main level features a spacious formal living room with a picture window, a formal dining room with chair rail, and a cozy family room with a raised-hearth brick fireplace and atrium door leading to the backyard patio. The eat-in kitchen offers ceramic tile flooring and modern appliances, while a full-size laundry room includes a utility sink, backyard access, and inside entry to the oversized garage. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an updated ensuite bath. Three additional generously sized bedrooms—two with walk-in closets—share a ceramic tile hall bath, complemented by a large linen closet. Downstairs you'll find a full unfinished basement with outside entrance. Notable features include window and siding replacement, solid wood interior doors, and hardwood flooring throughout most of the home. Mechanical updates include a natural gas furnace (2017), gas hot water heater (2020), newer roof, gutters and downspouts (2015), updated central air, and a 14 kW Generac generator (2013) for peace of mind. A few choice updates and some TLC would add incredible value to this property. Similar renovated properties of this style and size in Green Hill Terrace have recently sold at significantly higher prices, offering excellent potential for the new owner.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
