Welcome to 520 S. Walnut St., a charming 5 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath updated home filled with character on a tree-lined street in the heart of the much sought-after West Chester Borough. This lovely 1,964 square foot, three-story, semi-detached home built in 1890 has original details with all the modern amenities you desire including central air conditioning, updated luxury full bathroom with shower & soaking tub, first floor powder room, updated kitchen, hardwood floors throughout, efficient natural gas forced air heating & cooling, tons of storage space, and best of all—an oversized garage & off-street parking space! A great investment to call your new home or offer as a rental property (current tenants could stay on). You will be greeted by the breezy front porch with built-in porch swing, as you first enter this cheerful home with hardwood floors and lots of natural light throughout. The first floor boasts a living room with original wood pocket doors between it and the bright formal dining room with bay windows. Relax in the cozy family room with recessed lighting, crown molding, 9 ft. ceilings, exposed brick wall, and gas fireplace. The kitchen includes updated wood shaker-style cabinets and countertops, gas cooking, small granite peninsula, and built-in storage. It opens to a sunny breakfast room with breakfast bar, powder room, and access to the basement and backyard. Ascend the front or back “butler’s” staircase to the second floor where you’ll find three bedrooms and a luxurious full hall bath with custom tilework, Kohler fixtures, and 6’ soaking tub. On the third floor, you can retreat to two more bedrooms above it all to sleep, work, or play. The unfinished basement is great for storage or even a workshop or home gym. Outside, enjoy a BBQ on the built-in deck shaded by a gorgeous magnolia tree while your pets freely roam around the fully fenced-in yard with easy to maintain landscaping. Brick and stone pavers lead to what really sets this property apart—an oversized detached garage and one additional off-street parking spot. Located in the West Chester School District, walkable to the Borough shops and restaurants, and minutes from Rt. 202, PA Turnpike, Wilmington, and the AMTRAK/SEPTA Exton Station (to easily take you even further), this property won’t last!
