This magnificent residence sprawls over 3745 sq. ft. A two-car detached post and beam barn handmade in Vermont (22FTX30FT = 660SQ FT) adds even more value to the property, equipped with its own electrical sub-panel and plumbing, making it an ideal candidate for conversion into a guest house or studio. The estate-like setting includes a circular driveway, swing-set, and mature trees and plantings that enhance the home’s character and privacy, offering a peaceful sanctuary just moments from the vibrant life of West Chester Borough.
