125 E Virginia Avenue, West Chester, PA 19380

Property Description

Built in 1926 by Henry Price, 125 E Virginia Ave is a 5 bed, 4.5 bath home on the corner of Matlack and E Virginia that offers a special connection to the West Chester Borough community as well as a historical connection to Philadelphia. With a surrounding white fence and mature, lush landscaping that includes native rhododendrons and azaleas as well as rambling pink roses along the fence, this home offers unique curb appeal in the Borough and has been featured on Chester County Day and Christmas house tours multiple times. Architectural details include pieces that Price salvaged from homes in Philadelphia that were demolished during construction of the Ben Franklin Bridge in the early 1920’s and include oversized casement windows set horizontally and double hung, various fireplace mantles, crown moldings, built-in cabinets and millstones. Thoughtfully maintained and expanded, the home design presents a traditional, elegant feeling starting in the center hall entry and continuing into a beautifully blended 2004 addition that includes a large kitchen with a Rumford fireplace, breakfast room and mudroom. There are multiple built-in cabinets and shelving throughout, beautiful large windows, multiple large closets, a main entry hall, and a back staircase. There is a 2nd floor laundry room, conveniently located near the bedrooms, and there are 6 fireplaces including 3 woodburning on the 1st floor, a 2nd floor bedroom fireplace with a gas insert, and a beautiful (nonfunctioning) beehive fireplace in one of the bedrooms. This home also boasts a finished attic which is a lovely spot to set up a home theater or den and includes a full bathroom with a sauna. The walkout basement boasts a large open area that can be used as a game room, and also features a workshop and a dog wash station. Not to be outdone, the outdoor living spaces offer a place of retreat on the north side of the Borough, with a large private patio, garden, potting shed and a 2-car garage. Situated within easy walking distance to Marshall Square Park and all of the amenities that the Borough has to offer, 125 E Virginia Ave offers a graceful combination of home design, history and location.
