290 W BOOT RD West Chester, PA 19380

Rich in history, this circa-1700s Chester County farmhouse is a rare gem for anyone who appreciates period homes and all of the personality they offer. From the deep, curved windows, to the wide-plank wood floors, to the turned stairway, this home will captivate you with its character. It's nestled in historic "Grove Village" on a picturesque property that is completely fenced and teeming with colorful perennials and trees, and even a small pond. A large slate patio is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the beauty of this yard, and leads the way to this home's main entry. Once inside, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. While fairly modernized, the kitchen--which has a brand new range and dishwasher--has exposed wood beams and welcoming nooks. It connects to a dining room with an entire wall of built-ins with custom doors, and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Up the turned staircase, the second floor of this home just exudes old-world charm with its batten doors, wood floors, deep-silled windows, and cozy bedrooms. There is a spacious, walk-up attic, which showcases flooring planks with "carpenter marks"--Roman numerals that had been hand-carved into the wood--like so many other historic treasures found in this home. Lovingly maintained by its owner, this house has a freshly painted exterior and new cedar shakes on the lower portions of the roof, plus new masonry stairs leading outside from the basement. Two banks of wood sheds provide ample storage space and a potter's shed is a gardener's delight. Don't miss the chance to see this unique and special home--it may just be the perfect one for you.
