Description
Rarely does a property of such architectural pedigree and versatile potential become available in the heart of the West Chester Borough. Standing as a majestic detached sentinel on a sprawling 0.22-acre lot—a nearly unheard-of expanse for town-center living—this 1830 Federal-style masterpiece is a 6,164-square-foot triumph of history, scale, and opportunity. From the moment you arrive, the heritage of the building is evident. The stately presence command the streetscape, leading into an interior defined by four stories of grandeur. The home retains its most coveted historic "bones," featuring soaring ceilings, original wide-plank flooring, and five magnificent fireplaces that serve as the heart of its most prominent rooms. Currently configured as a high-performing five-unit residence, the property is in immaculate condition, offering a seamless blend of modern mechanicals—including a new high-efficiency boiler, on-demand hot water heater, EV charging station in the garage, and wifi keypad locks—and preserved period details. The floor plan is vast and flexible, comprising two massive 3-bedroom units, two 2-bedroom units, and a one-bedroom. The rooms and units flow and mesh wonderfully, giving you the ability to create an immense single family home, or claim as much space as you need while ensuring income from the rest of the home. While several kitchens and baths have been stylishly modernized for contemporary luxury, the building’s original character remains uncompromised, right down to the authentic root and wine cellar in the lower level. The exterior is an urban sanctuary. The gorgeous courtyard and expansive yard offer a private, lush retreat for grand-scale outdoor entertaining, complemented by the convenience of a detached two-car garage. Situated in the vibrant Town Center, you are steps away from the curated dining and boutique shopping that define West Chester’s booming culture. Currently three units are rented out as Airbnbs (first and second floor on the floorplans), one is a monthly rental (fourth floor), and the owner occupies the last (third floor). The three-bedroom unit on the top floor has separate heat and electric. Only one electric meter for the lower three airbnb units. Owner pays heat and hot water for all units except the top floor in addition to water and sewer for the entire building.
