FRESH NEW UPDATES & FRESH NEW PAINTING!!>> 5 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms, Pool, 1 acre lot, 2 car Garage, West Chester School District, Fireplace, Fresh New Paint Throughout, Real Hardwood Floors, Lower Taxes, and No HOA! This one checks all the boxes! Welcome to 1261 Buck Lane in the desirable Thornbury Estates neighborhood of West Chester. The moment you enter the driveway, an instant calm washes over you at the sight of this lovely home nestled among mature trees and landscaping on a 1 acre lot that serenely sits back off the road. REAL Oak Hardwood Floors sweep throughout the main level from the entry hall to the living room and dining room, and new Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring in the kitchen. Brilliant natural light cascades through the huge picture windows in the living room and dining room with gorgeous views of the surrounding yard space and Pool. In the living room there is Fireplace surrounded by built-in bookcases and shelves. It literally is the perfect spot to curl up on the sofa with a good book, cup of tea, and a cozy fire in this "Room With A View"! The living room opens into the dining room that is also surrounded in windows with views of Rhododendrons, gorgeous Japanese Maple trees and the lovely Pool area out back. Also on the main level, you'll find the kitchen with recessed lighting, oak cabinetry, stainless steel/black appliances, and plank flooring. Head up the solid oak stairs to the main level and you'll find 4 large bedrooms! Plenty of space for a growing family. The primary bedroom has an ensuite fully renovated full bathroom with walk-in shower and there is a 2nd full bathroom that is also fully renovated that has a bathtub/shower combo. There's also a Walk-Up Attic that is already partially floored for fabulous storage or maybe finish it out for your home office, playroom, or extended closet! A few steps down from the main level, you have a finished lower level with a Bonus room (or 5th Bedroom) that would make a great media room, 2nd living area, work-from-home office, home gym, or possible in-law space. The lower level also includes an updated bathroom and its own entrance onto the slate patio overlooking the huge yard that's big enough for the kiddos to play soccer in! Next to the laundry room on the lower level is an entrance to the 2-car garage that has built-in shelving with a stationary workbench and plenty of room for parking 2 cars inside--and of course extra driveway space outside to accommodate plenty of parking for your family and guests that will be coming over to enjoy Pool parties and holiday gatherings because this home is ideal for entertaining! You'll also love the artistic cut stone wall that surrounds the pool area with lovely perennial flowers and Rose of Sharon bushes and, of course, plenty of patio space for those pool parties and backyard barbeques. So many family memories to be made while you Grill and Chill by the Pool! Outdoor storage includes a Pool shed to store your pool equipment plus a separate Garden Shed for your lawn mower, yard equipment, and gardening tools. Another major reason why Thornbury Estates is highly sought after is because of it is a quiet tree-lined neighborhood (no "through streets") that is ideal for morning walks and visits with neighbors. Plus--It's super convenient to nearby shopping centers, grocery stores, and dining all within a 3 mile radius. This home manages to capture the remote tranquility of an idyllic neighborhood in the West Chester School District while being only minutes away from Rt 202, Rt 1, Rt 3 and Rt 100. Also, let's not forget how close you'll be to some of the region's favorite treasures like Longwood Gardens, Winterthur and Wyeth Museums, Brandywine Battlefield parks, as well as boutique shopping and dining only minutes away in historic downtown West Chester and Chadds Ford. Don't miss out on this gem and book your showing today!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
