Welcome to 1283 Country Lane in West Whiteland Township, offering an opportunity to restore and update a traditional two-story home in an established West Chester-area neighborhood. Built in 1963, the property features approximately 1,696 square feet of above-grade living space with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a fireplace, situated on approximately 0.45 acre with public water and sewer. The interior retains many of its original features and finishes and is in need of renovation and cosmetic updating, providing an opportunity for a buyer to make improvements to their own specifications. Hardwood flooring is visible in several bedrooms, and the family/living area features a stone fireplace. The garage space was converted to living space but could easily be returned to a 2 car garage.

The home is located within the West Chester Area School District and offers convenient access to the Exton and West Chester areas. With its four-bedroom layout, sizable lot, and existing pool, this property offers considerable potential for a buyer prepared to undertake the improvements needed to bring the home up to current standards.
