Spacious,sun-filled twin circa 1845 on beautiful .27 acre lot combines lovely open floor plan with vintage architectural elements and is located in the heart of historic Marshallton village, just minutes from West Chester Boro. Convenient mudroom entry leads you into the open main level addition, added to the home sixteen years ago, beginning with the custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances, PA slate counters and warm cherry cabinets. The kitchen is open to the light and airy dining area with vaulted ceiling and french doors that provide a seamless indoor/outdoor transition to the generous brick patio area, a perfect outdoor living space for entertaining, star gazing or bird watching. Beyond the patio is the lovely fully-fenced yard (approx 300 ft deep) that transforms into a lush enchanted space in spring and summer and provides sweeping rural Chester County views throughout the year. Back inside, the dining area is open to the cozy family room with wood stove, brick hearth and original wood beams. This whole updated section of the home (kitchen, dining area and family room) is bathed in beautiful natural light throughout the day. The original part of the home on the main floor is comprised of two lovely, open and adjoining rooms, the first of which is currently utilized as an office area but can easily transform into a formal dining room during the holidays, or year-round if preferred. This room opens to the formal living room, with the first floor powder room privately situated off the living room. Up the stairs to the second floor you will find two bedrooms(one currently used as an office),a spacious hall bath with double sinks, tub and ample storage, along with a hallway linen closet. Also on the second floor is the master bedroom with walk in closet and en suite bathroom with stall shower. Up another flight of stairs are two more bedrooms, along with the laundry room.
