117 CHESTNUT ST

Newtown Square, PA 19073

Welcome to 117 Chestnut St. This beautiful cottage sits on a quiet street tucked away from the noise, hustle and bustle of the West Chester Pike. The home is filled with old style charm as evidenced in the stunning wood burning brick and stone fireplace, solid wood country cabinets, wood floors & shutters. Upgrades were carefully made in 2021 & 2022 as not to detract from the home's original charm & natural beauty. Electric was upgraded to 200 amp service to accommodate a new, high end Bosch HVAC system, plumbing was also updated to PVC & PEX. Both bathrooms were completely remodeled in an elegant, neutral color tile. The downstairs hall bath has a wall to wall expanded shower, the upstairs a new bath tub, both have new toilets, farmhouse sinks with vanities and each have their very own linen closet. Upstairs are two large, freshly painted bedrooms with spacious closets and newer windows. Between the rooms sits the second & generously sized hallway bathroom. Completing the 2nd floor and right across from the bathroom is a walk-in closet with more space for clothing and storage. A new 275 gallon oil tank was also installed in the basement in 2021 for those who prefer radiant & baseboard heating to the dryer HVAC heat. The basement was partially and roughly finished into a bonus room that can be used as an extra bedroom/guest room/game room/family room or just extra storage space. This room has a new window, nice deep closet as well as a locking door for privacy. New baseboard heating, extra outlets and added lighting were also installed on a separate circuit and are controlled from within the room, making it easy to do laundry in the extra capacity washer and dryer as well as the ability to turn lights on/off on one side of the basement without disturbing the other. The basement room also has a new exterior door that opens to a lighted landing with staircase leading up to the driveway, making it a perfectly private guest room.New kitchen door & frame was installed, insulated and sealed. Front entry door is solid wood and has been painted, resealed and rehung with new threshold installed. There is a nice sized, light filled bedroom on the main floor right next to the downstairs bath. This bedroom is currently being used as a home office but can be used as a multi- purpose room, family room or simply your third bedroom. A formal living room with plenty of windows for natural light and wood burning fireplace sits opposite the formal dining room with beautiful farmhouse chandelier lighting and an arched entrance leading into the kitchen. The country kitchen with solid wood cabinetry has tons of cabinet space and stainless steel appliances that are less than two years old. You will find two doors in the kitchen, one leading out to the driveway and one leading out to a spacious enclosed, sun drenched patio with an exit out into the expansive back yard. The enclosed patio has 2 lighted ceiling fans and windows looking out into the yard and empty wooded lot. Maintenance free gutters and years left on the roof are an added benefit of ownership. The location of this home coupled with no backyard neighbors makes this a serene and peaceful space to enjoy with family and friends. 117 Chestnut is within walking distance to Whole Foods, Acme, Panera Bread, Restaurants, Shopping, the Newtown Square Municipal Bldg., Library, Rec. Center and surrounded by Walking/Jogging Trails. Close to 352 and I-476. Country like setting with a short 30 minute ride to the airport and 45 minute drive into Center City Philadelphia.
