5 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms, Pool, 1 acre lot, 2 car Garage, Fireplace, West Chester School District, No HOA, and lower taxes! This one checks all the boxes! Welcome to 1261 Buck Lane in the desirable Thornbury Estates neighborhood of West Chester. The moment you enter the driveway, an instant calm washes over you at the sight of this lovely home nestled among mature trees and landscaping that serenely sits back off the road. You will have the sense of remote tranquility in your new home while being located only minutes away from Rt 202, Rt 1, Rt 3 and Rt 100, with easy access to major commuting routes for employment or day-tripping. This home has been lovingly maintained and meticulously cared for. As you enter the home, you'll immediately notice the brilliance of natural light in the living room with its large picture windows and a fireplace surrounded by solid built-in bookcases and shelves. The perfect spot to curl up on the sofa with a good book, cup of tea, and a cozy fire in this "Room With A View". The living room opens into the dining room that is also surrounded in windows with views of Rhododendrons, gorgeous Japanese Maple trees and the lovely pool area out back. Also on the main level, you'll find the kitchen with recessed lighting, oak cabinetry, stainless steel/black appliances, and plank flooring. A few steps up from the main level are 4 nicely sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms that have recently been fully renovated. Plus--wonderfully accessible storage with a huge walk-up attic that has potential to be turned into additional living space! . A few steps down from the main level, you have a finished lower level with a 5th bedroom/Bonus room that would make a great media room, 2nd living area, work-from-home office, home gym, or possible in-law space. The lower level also includes an updated bathroom and its own entrance onto the slate patio with additional easy access to additional storage with its large sub-floor/storage crawl space. Next to the laundry room on the lower level is an entrance to the 2-car garage that has built-in shelving with a stationary workbench. The backyard can be accessed from both the lower and main levels which makes this home ideal for guests and entertaining--especially with the fabulous pool in the private backyard! The pool area is surrounded by an artistic cut stone wall, lovely perennial flowers, and Rose of Sharon bushes with plenty of patio space for pool parties and backyard barbeques. Outdoor storage includes a Pool shed to store your pool equipment plus a separate Garden Shed. Other highlights include a quiet tree-lined neighborhood ideal for morning walks, visits with neighbors and the convenience of shopping centers, grocery stores, and dining all within a 3 mile radius. You'll also love how close you are to some of the region's favorite treasures like Longwood Gardens, Winterthur and Wyeth Museums, Brandywine Battlefield parks, as well as boutique shopping and dining only minutes away in Chadds Ford, Glen Mills and historic downtown West Chester. These are just a few of the reasons (along with the highly sought after West Chester school district ) that have brought West Chester and Chester County, national recognition as "one of the best places to live in America". Don't miss out on this gem and book your showing today! *Side Note; It looks like there may be real hardwood floors underneath some of the carpeting on the main level and upstairs level. Of course, buyer would need to do their due diligence to verify.
