Rare opportunity in the award winning West Chester Area School District! This expansive 7 plus acre property at the end of a quiet cul de sac offers exceptional privacy and endless potential in one of the most desirable and prestigious locations in Chester County. Estate-sized parcels like this are extremely hard to find and offer a unique opportunity for those looking to build a one-of-a-kind luxury residence surrounded by nature. The existing ranch home is in need of significant renovation and is best suited for buyers with a vision to transform or rebuild. It features a functional single level layout with three generously sized bedrooms, a bonus room that can be used as a home office, playroom, or large walk-in closet, a spacious kitchen, mudroom laundry area, and an attached two car garage. Set well back from the street and framed by mature trees, the home sits on a serene, retreat-like setting with access to a private stream. Whether you choose to renovate the existing structure or tear it down and start fresh, the possibilities are wide open. With no builder tie-in and utilities already in place, this property provides a rare and valuable foundation for creating a custom estate complete with resort-style amenities such as a pool, guest quarters, gardens, or outdoor entertaining space. Despite its private setting, the property is just minutes from East Goshen Park, top-rated schools, and all the fine dining, boutiques, and cultural attractions of downtown West Chester Borough. This is a rare chance to own a large, private, and highly adaptable lot in a prime location with the flexibility to bring your luxury vision to life.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
