Welcome to 406 W Chestnut Street — a rare opportunity to own a beautifully upgraded historic carriage home in the heart of West Chester Borough, complete with private parking spaces. This charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath end-of-row home seamlessly blends historic character with modern convenience. Inside, you’ll find an open and inviting main level with exposed beams, thoughtfully designed living and dining spaces, and a stylish kitchen featuring functional touches like a built-in charging shelf. An upgraded basement adds valuable flex space, along with a dedicated laundry area and organized storage. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom offers two spacious closets, additional overhead storage, and stunning exposed beams. Just outside, a cozy nook creates the perfect work-from-home setup. The second bedroom is currently configured as an entertainment room with projector capabilities. The full bathroom features a double-sink vanity, and traditional subway tile in the shower, combining style, comfort and practicality. One of the home’s most exceptional features is the private outdoor space: a beautifully landscaped backyard with a stone patio, grassy area, and a balcony porch that overlooks it all. These balconies are no longer permitted to be built in West Chester, making this a truly unique find. Beyond the yard, you’ll find off-street, gated parking spaces (fits 2 cars, possibly 3 compact cars), an incredibly rare amenity in the Borough. Watch the sunrise right from the balcony or back patio, and enjoy direct sun throughout the day, perfect for a garden or simply catching some spring and summer rays. The backyard is also equipped with two extra gas lines ready for a grill, cooktop, or fire pit, along with extended electrical access for a future automated gate system. No more searching for parking or hauling groceries from blocks away... simply pull in and step right into your home. Additional upgrades include smart home features such as smart lighting, smart blinds, and a doorbell camera, as well as a $32,000 stormwater management system that directs runoff safely away from the home, providing peace of mind for years to come. Located just a 2-minute walk from the vibrant center of downtown West Chester and only one block from a favorite local brewery, this home offers the perfect blend of walkability, charm, and modern living. Don’t miss your chance to own a one-of-a-kind property with private parking, outdoor space, and smart upgrades, all in one of West Chester’s most desirable locations.
