Welcome to the historic former Alton Trolley Station, situated on almost 3 acres of land in the desirable West Chester Area School District. This property offers a unique opportunity for those looking for a fixer-upper with great potential. Comprised of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home needs some work to bring it back to life, but with over 1,600 square feet of living space, the possibilities are endless. In addition, there are three separate buildings on the property that could lead to many potential uses. Located just off 322 and Skelp Level Rd, this home is conveniently located within 3 miles of downtown West Chester and Downingtown, offering an array of restaurants and shopping options in either direction. The Downingtown train station is easily accessible from this location. While this property is in need of some restoration work and TLC, it presents a great opportunity for those with a vision and willingness to invest time and effort into making it something truly special. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history and create a unique home in the heart of the West Chester Area School District.

R-1
Residential District
It is the intent of the R-1 District, as outlined by the East Bradford Township Comprehensive Plan, to support the preservation of critical natural resources, such as streams, floodplains, wet soils, variable groundwater yield areas and conditionally suitable soil for on-lot sewage disposal systems; to encourage continued agricultural, open space and conservation uses; and to provide for continued low-density residential development that is compatible with established land use patterns. The R-1 District establishes maximum density standards which: Provide for low-density residential uses on a lot-by-lot basis, as well as an open space development option that encourages the preservation of open space ancillary to such development; and; Promote the conservation of surface water and groundwater supplies, soils for on-lot sewage disposal systems and the control of soil erosion and flooding.
