1290 Southgate Rd, West Chester, PA 19382

Welcome to Thornbury Township and one of the most inviting homes in the area. Nestled amongst mature landscaping on a large and level 2.1 acre lot, this Jimmy Lee built colonial speaks of warmth as soon as you turn into the driveway. The main floor boasts a recently updated kitchen which opens nicely into a wonderful family room with wood-burning fireplace with a heavy stone hearth and surround. The family room opens through sliding glass doors to a screened-in porch for enjoying quiet, warm summer evenings. Backyard is professionally landscaped to create a private retreat and was originally an award winning design. Flooring in much of the main floor is wide plank hardwood, with tile in the kitchen. Completing the main floor is a nicely sized living room with a wood-burning fireplace and chair rail and crown molding, a formal dining room with wainscoting and crown molding, and a tremendous study with yet another wood-burning fireplace, built-in book cases, and a vaulted ceiling. The second floor includes the attractive master bedroom suite, three additional nicely sized bedrooms, and a hall bath. Installed within the last year, the roof, siding, and furnace (and windows in the last four years) should provide many years of future comfort and service. And what about the location ? acclaimed West Chester School District (within a mile of Rustin High School!), culturally attractive Borough of West Chester and historic Chester County, Costco, Whole Foods, Wegmans (under construction) within a short distance, and easy commutes to Philadelphia and Wilmington. Don't miss this one!
