Property Description
Tucked on a quiet street just a short stroll to the heart of West Chester Borough, this beautifully updated Cape Cod is where timeless charm meets modern convenience. With inviting indoor-outdoor spaces and well-thought out extras throughout, this home is the perfect blend of vibrant community living, peaceful privacy, and easy access to all the perks of borough living. From the well-manicured lawn to the covered front porch with a classic porch swing, the curb appeal of this home can't help but to draw you in. Step inside to a bright and open main level elevated by character-rich finishes and natural light.To the right, the eat-in kitchen is every chef's dream and a true showpiece — complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a double oven, pot-filler, and a farmhouse sink. A wine and beverage fridge, pantry, and oversized island with seating make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. It opens directly into a spacious family room with a shiplap accent wall and continues into the multi-use dining area with glass sliding doors to your own backyard oasis. The 1st floor bedroom makes one level living a possibility, whether you are looking for yourself or for an in-law suite. Also featured on this main level is a spa-like full bath featuring a rain shower, clawfoot soaking tub, and a stylish farmhouse sink. A hallway coat closet and additional storage round out the main floor. Head to the second level where you will find two more generously sized bedrooms, a bonus room perfect for a home office, playroom, walk-in closet, and barn door access to the laundry area. The backyard is where this home truly sets itself apart. Step through the glass sliders to a private, fully fenced oasis with a pergola-shaded patio, in-ground pool, hot tub, an additional paver patio, and two fully finished sheds with vaulted ceilings, electricity, and AC offer an extra 200 sq ft of flexible living — perfect for a home office, studio, gym, or guest overflow. A third custom utility shed with a loft and outdoor workbench adds function without sacrificing form. Just a few blocks to Marshall Square Park and minutes to everything downtown West Chester offers — renowned dining, breweries, boutiques, year-round festivals, Henderson High School, Chester County Hospital, and West Chester University — this location can't be beat. Major upgrades include a new roof (2018), hot water heater (2020), and other recent updates adding peace of mind to this already turnkey home. Low taxes, thoughtful upgrades, and incredible versatility make this property a true standout. 705 Hillside Drive is more than a home — it's a lifestyle.
