You'll also enjoy proximity to excellent dining, shopping, and entertainment in Glen Mills and downtown West Chester, as well as nearby educational institutions like Cheyney University and West Chester University. With vibrant community events, local parks, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere, this is a wonderful place to call home.
If you're seeking historic beauty, modern convenience, and a prime location, this home is a truly rare find. Come experience it for yourself—schedule your showing today and make this special piece of history your future.
Just beyond the backyard, a heritage railroad line adds a touch of charm—operating only during select holiday seasons for scenic sightseeing tours and will not disrupt the home's peaceful setting.
