Tuesday Tour for September 23, 2008

by John Lauber on September 23, 2008

Here’s a review of the some of the homes that were open during today’s Tuesday Broker open house tours.

370 Trotters Way

Today’s first house was at 370 Trotters Way in Coatesville, PA. Offered at $299,900, this 4 bed, 2 1/2 bath home shows really nicely. This house sits on 4 acres, though unfortunately, not all of it usable. The house has a great front porch (see pic) that makes a great, shady spot to just sit and enjoy the day. The rooms, while not large, are a generous size. The lower level has a nice open floor plan which makes it feel bigger. There’s a nice deck off the kitchen that allows views of the woods behind. The basement is finished and has a walk out to a great backyard patio. They did a nice job in finishing the space giving you or the children plenty of room to spread out. Overall, it was a nice house that showed really nicely.

2754 N Barley Sheaf Road

The next house was also in Coatesville and was located at 2756 N Barley Sheaf Road. This home was much bigger than the last house, but was also a 4 Bedroom, 2 1/2 bath. Offered at $325,000 it sits on a half acre. It’s a nice corner lot though, so you only have one house next door. The lower level of this home is very spacious. With a cathedral ceiling in the living room and generous size kitchen with a big center island. There’s an office area at the end of the first floor that provides privacy from the rest of the house. The bedrooms were all a nice size, main bedroom also had nice walk-in closets. While not finished, the basement ceiling was built with enough extra height to make a great finished space. There is already a door out of the basement to the back yard.

305 Berkley Lane

The last house for today was at 305 Berkley Ln in West Chester, PA. Offered at $425,000, this 4 Bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home is located across from West Goshen Park in the development of Fresh Meadows. This community is very convenient to downtown West Chester and Rt. 202. Located on the end of a cul-de-sac, this house is on a nice big lot. There is one word for the house on the inside though, and that is dated. It looks a bit dated, but nothing that can’t be neutralized with some elbow grease and paint. Please don’t misunderstand, this house is not a fixer upper. It’s ready to move into now. The kitchen is a great size and so is the family room. The basement is finished and the bedrooms are a good size. The deck off the back takes up most of the house and is accessed from both the kitchen and family room.
