More photos coming soon! Welcome to 222 East Washington Street, a luxurious haven on a quiet block in West Chester Borough’s sought-after northeast quadrant, just one block from Marshall Square Park. This updated, perfectly sized single-family home offers the character of a 1920s home with thoughtful design, exceptional finishes, modern infrastructure, and all the amenities of the Borough just a two-minute walk away. Featured in the 2024 West Chester Public Library Holiday Home Tour, this is a home that truly stands apart. A bespoke diamond-patterned concrete driveway and newly redesigned whimsical landscaping, featuring mostly native plants, welcome you to this 1920s beauty. The home was meticulously renovated to maintain its historic charm, with doors, trim, and hardware that are origi nal or period-appropriate reproductions. Enter through the original front door into the fully renovated first floor, featuring new solid hickory hardwood floors and solid wood louvered shutters that provide privacy along the front of the home. To either side of the living room’s wood-burning fireplace, original French doors bring light from the east-facing sunroom, a versatile space perfect for an office, playroom, or sitting room. The dining room retains its original built-in cabinetry, updated with lighting, and original Durand chandelier, along with custom woodwork inspired by 1920s craftsman details. The showstopping kitchen, completed in 2024 by Phoenix Interiors, is a study in thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship. Custom Goebel cabinetry pairs with luxury Italian Fulgor Milano appliances, including a six-burner gas range, speed oven, warming drawer, and built-in refrigerator with soft-close stainless steel drawers. Quartzite countertops, brass DeVol fixtures, and unlacquered brass hardware add timeless character designed to develop a beautiful patina over time. A bonus butler’s pantry provides the perfect mission-control center and leads to the full-height basement. The first floor also includes a convenient half bath with a custom honey locust vanity. Halfway down the basement stairs, a side door leads to the large, flat backyard, with a pet door connecting to the fully fenced space. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, a luxurious marble-and-brass bathroom with a six-foot soaking tub and rain shower, and a dedicated laundry room. The spacious primary bedroom features two floor-to-ceiling custom built-ins with drawers, hanging space, hidden hampers, and concealed jewelry and makeup storage with a lighted mirror. The third bedroom provides access to the walk-up, full-height attic. Beyond the visible renovations, major infrastructure improvements include a two-zone HVAC system installed in 2020, a full-home electrical rewire completed in 2018, conversion to natural gas for all applicable systems, and brand new gutters. Architectural plans are included for a future expansion totaling approximately 1,200 additional square feet, including two additional bedrooms and a full bath, as well as plans for an ensuite bathroom and closet, home office, garage, and patio. A rare combination of historic character, thoughtful design, luxury finishes, modern infrastructure, and future potential, all in one of West Chester Borough’s most desirable locations. The owners did not spare a cent on the upgrades completed during their ownership, and now you can benefit. This hundred-year-old home is ready for its next century.
