Description

Welcome to 1019 Ashley Road, a beautifully designed 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home tucked away near the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in the desirable Plumly Farms neighborhood of Westtown Township. Set back from the street surrounded by mature landscaping, this thoughtfully maintained property blends charm, space, and sustainable living—all within walking distance to Bayard Rustin High School and a short drive to shopping, dining, and downtown West Chester. Step inside to an inviting entryway featuring hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and skylights that fill the space with natural light. The formal dining room boasts elegant crown molding, chair rail, hardwood floors, and a statement ceiling light—perfect for entertaining. Across the hall, the living room offers vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, hardwood flooring, skylights, and a decorative fireplace for added warmth and character. The cozy family room features an exposed wood-beam, another striking stone fireplace with a Quadrafire Expedition 2 insert for winter heating (peak BTU/hr 56,000), and French doors that open onto an expansive two-level deck. The adjacent breakfast room includes sliding doors to the upper deck, chair rail accents, and a decorative fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, peninsula seating, a prep sink, pantry, and energy-efficient appliances. A private home office with a vaulted ceiling, triple window with serene yard views, built-in desk and shelves—plus a separate entrance—makes working from home a breeze. The main level also includes a mudroom with access to the garage and deck, a laundry room with utility sink and workspace, and a powder room off the foyer. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a unique loft overlooking the living room, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath featuring a jetted tub, walk-in shower, skylight, and tile flooring. Two additional bedrooms—one with hardwood floors, the other with carpet and a custom closet—share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a double-sink vanity and tub/shower. The finished lower level functions as a full in-law suite with its own private entrance, second kitchen, living area, office nook, bedroom space, and full bath—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Step outside to a true backyard oasis: a large in-ground pool with waterfall, a charming detached pavilion, a brick pizza oven, and lush, established landscaping. The wooded area has been cleared of invasives, ready for new native plantings. Seasonal color abounds with sugar maples, magnolias, dogwoods, lilacs, cherries, redbud, rhododendrons, and more. Edible landscaping includes beach plums, goumi, pears, nectarines, pawpaw, peaches, elderberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, gooseberries, hazelnuts, and a cleared space perfect for a garden. This energy-efficient home includes a 7.3 kW solar system (fully paid), high-efficiency heat pump, EV charger, energy-efficient windows, programmable thermostat, Energy Star appliances, and mature shade trees to keep you cool and reduce energy use. Beyond the beautifully landscaped backyard lies a breathtaking open-space vista with access to walking trails along Chester Creek and through flower-filled fields. Enjoy the sounds of owls and spring peepers by night—all just minutes from the borough, parks, and top-rated schools. 1019 Ashley Road offers unmatched comfort, character, sustainability, and location.
