700 North Walnut may be one of the most charming and gracefully crafted homes on the market today. Set on a huge lot for the Borough of West Chester of just under one acre and nestled among mature trees and elegant neighboring properties in the sought after Northeast quadrant of the Borough, this exquisite 5-bedroom, 2.1-bath Georgian style residence is a rare blend of timeless design and rich architectural detail. Originally built in 1900, the home has been lovingly maintained and features handcrafted woodwork, triple return crown moldings, marble finishes, high ceilings and an undeniable sense of character. Approaching the home from High Street, you are immediately struck by the grandeur of the mature specimen trees, the soaring pillars, stone steps, raised covered patio, slate roof, and many windows. This is one of the grandest homes in West Chester. From the moment you enter the foyer, you are greeted by exceptional craftsmanship: crown molding with intricate profile work, bubble glass details, and a beautifully built corner hutch with an arched door crowned by a keystone. The recessed radiator tucked beneath cabinetry, a wide staircase to the upper level, and an east-facing window all set the tone for the quality and warmth felt throughout. The formal Living Room is one of the home’s most distinguished spaces—anchored by an extraordinary fireplace with custom triple return molding, flanked by French doors that open to a luminous sunroom wrapped in nine windows. Just beyond lies the elegant Dining Room, with its arched built-ins, raised paneling, and crown molding flowing in from the adjacent spaces. Light pours in from three exposures, making this room as joyful as it is grand. The Kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, dual Jenn Air wall ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, and a central island with dual sinks and Corian counters—ideal for daily meals or entertaining. A nearby Breakfast Room offers north-facing windows and two custom-built desks under three more windows, with a French door leading to a peaceful covered porch. A well-organized Mud Room and Laundry area, complete with tile flooring and clever storage, add function without sacrificing style. Upstairs, beautiful white oak floors with walnut inlays run throughout. The Primary Bedroom offers peaceful views, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like marble bathroom with a rain shower and quartz-topped vanity. Each additional bedroom features its own charm—from the fireplace and porch access in Bedroom 4 to the sunlit expanse of Bedroom 5 with five total windows. Steam radiator heat, central air conditioning, and public utilities ensure comfort and convenience year-round. The detached two-car garage has space above for additional storage, workspace and more. The large lot provides nearly one acre of landscaped serenity. The property feels like a private sanctuary with long views, yet you’re moments from all the vibrancy of downtown West Chester and just across the street from the West Chester Country Club. A home of this caliber—so rich in history, warmth, and architectural integrity—rarely comes to market. 700 North Walnut is a peerless example of Borough living at its most refined.
