section of the Borough. Originally built in 1712 with appropriate additions over the years. Joseph Hergesheimer, noted author, in 1923 had the house restored by Brod Oakie. 

There are too many features to mention but highlights of the main house include wide-planked floors throughout, built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, deep windowsills, walk-in stone fireplaces, all original hardware. 

All the closets feature double-panel doors and the storage throughout is amazing. 

Property also has a completely restored carriage house with charming studio apartment, two-car heated garage, gazebo, stone garden house, large paved parking area and driveway. House is charming as is but add your vision and a showpiece will emerge! Located on a 3.5 acre lot with subdivision potential for additional building lots in a premier section of West Chester Boro.
