Property Description

Location Location Location!!! Rare Dean Street gem available to make it your own! Located in the heart of the coveted southwest neighborhood of West Chester Borough, this 3-story brick twin with garage is filled with character, charm, and opportunity. The home is currently configured as a duplex, with two separate living units, but is zoned as a single family residence. The first floor features a living room with wood burning fireplace, a dining room with original pocket doors, bedroom with en suite full bathroom, kitchen and mudroom, with direct access to the backyard. The second and third floors feature a large living room, dining room, full bathroom, bedroom, den/office and kitchen with access to the rooftop deck. The property could easily be converted back into a 45 Bedroom / 3 Bath single-family residence, offering flexibility for investors, owner-occupants, or anyone seeking a classic Borough home with timeless appeal on the mostly owner-occupied 200 block with great neighbors. Many original historical details remain intact, giving the home warmth and authenticity while providing a rare blank canvas for cosmetic modernization. The possibilities are endless for creating a beautifully updated space that still honors the homes historic character. Situated on the corner of Dean and S. New Streets just blocks from Everhart Park, notable features include a classic Dean Street front porch, a huge rear rooftop deck, fenced and shaded backyard, an unfinished basement for storage and utilities, and an oversized single car garage for parking plus storage space for bikes and garden tools. On-street parking is plentiful immediately surrounding the house. Enjoy exceptional walkability with the Boroughs parks, restaurants, theater, churches, boutiques, and attractions just a few blocks away, including the annual Restaurant Week, Summer Concert Series, Christmas Parade, PorchFest, West Chester University, and many of the Boroughs beloved festivals and events. Bring your vision and unlock the potential of this special Borough property. Inquire for additional details.
