About 987 N New St

Welcome to 987 N. New Street, a 6,380 sqft, 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath executive style, center hall colonial nestled on two pristine level acres in the highly coveted Cheshire Knoll community. From the moment you enter the roundabout driveway, you will notice this home is a true masterpiece, offering an unbeatable combination of elegance, thoughtful upgrades, and prime location, just under two minutes from convenient dining and shopping in downtown West Chester. Step inside and be captivated by the magnificent entryway, natural flow and well-designed, spacious layout, where every room seamlessly connects to create the perfect balance of form and function. The home’s appeal is elevated by a myriad of recent upgrades, making it better than new construction. The interior has been freshly repainted in tasteful and timeless, neutral colors (October 2024), setting the stage for your personalized touch. An oversized gourmet kitchen will be a delight on a daily basis as well as when entertaining guests. The vaulted great room features a floor to ceiling fireplace, and access by French doors to the rear of the property. This level also features a morning room, formal sitting room, large office with built-in bookshelves, a powder room, and a laundry room. Upstairs you will find large bedrooms, including a princess suite, but with the focal point being the master—a retreat with an additional sitting area/office that could be easily converted to an oversized closet/dressing room. The master bath houses a glass shower enclosure as well as a soaking tub, and looks out over the property. There is also access to the fully framed out attic, just waiting to be finished for additional, versatile living space. The enormous finished walkout basement, complete with an office, full bath, wet bar, and ample storage further adds to the home’s luxurious appeal. Safety and convenience are prioritized with a top-of-the-line “smart” security system, complete with motion detectors, six-zone surveillance cameras, smoke and CO2 and water sensors, all of which can be monitored by an app (2024). The upgraded and recently serviced water filtration system (2024) ensures that your family will have a private source of pure well water for years to come. Outside, enjoy a picturesque and private setting on your rear deck or stone patio, complete with built in lighting, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in your own private oasis. Enjoy the benefits of being in the highly sought-after West Chester School District, with reasonable taxes, close proximity to major highways, the University, and all the charm West Chester downtown has to offer. The list of improvements includes: a brand-new roof with a 30-year warranty (October 2024), two state-of-the-art heating and air conditioning systems (2022), and a newly upgraded, second 200-amp electric panel (2022) in addition to the existing 200 amp panel. The 650 sqft climate-controlled garage features a mini-split HVAC unit, new floor, all new doors (2024), 100 amp subpanel, and could be used as a workshop, gym, or base for a small business, ensuring every aspect of this property has been thoughtfully enhanced. Finally, to allay any further concerns, the Sellers are offering a comprehensive one-year home warranty so you can make your offer with complete confidence. Schedule your showing TODAY!
