PLEASE USE CAUTION on the stairs from the first to upper floors as the treads are narrower than contemporary stairs. Unique opportunity with so many living/working possibilities for this charming home and companion 2-story outbuilding within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants as well as university points of interest. This delightful twin in the borough of West Chester has maintained the character of the original 1875 home. Welcoming porches trimmed with vintage details invite morning coffee or evening beverages overlooking a lovely yard that is more generous than neighboring homes along Sharpless St. The front door, interior doors, hand-blown windows are all original as are the pine floors and built-in corner cupboards. On the main floor enjoy living, dining, kitchen and mudroom with laundry and powder room. By the way, the radiant heat is the coziest on those brisk days! Upstairs features 2 comfortable-sized rustic bedrooms and an expanded bath with original claw-foot tub shower. This property would be well suited for someone looking for ample studio, office, or at-home workspace. In the back of the property, a unique oversized building meets the rear alley. Imagine the possibilities for this 2160 sq ft, 2-story structure that has heat and electricity providing approximately 1560 sq ft of finished work space as well as a 2/3 car garage. There's off street parking along the alley providing parking for 4-5 cars; highly coveted in this area. This home has served as a long term rental most recently. Its cozy historic feel might make an inviting short-term vacation rental as well as many other opportunities. This lovely property has been a much loved family home and extensive personal library of Chester County history for 80 years. Much potential for the next generation to move the warmth of the past into the future. Don't miss this opportunity to live, work or invest in the borough.
