ENJOY RESORT-STYLE LIVING in your dream home in The Villages at Hillview, Chester County's premier ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITY with unbeatable amenities and awesome neighbors. This cozy home has the perfect floorplan for downsizing boasting 2 bedrooms & 3 full baths and a 1-car garage. It is nestled on a quiet corner lot amongst other single detached homes. While this home provides true one-floor living, there is an added bonus of a finished walk-out basement with a comfortable living area, which includes a full bath, as well as abundant storage for all the things you just couldn't leave behind. Let's start from the beginning: As you enter the foyer from the covered front porch, the cathedral living & dining rooms unfold before you with beautiful hardwood floors & a gas fireplace. Behind the living room, the light streaming through the sunroom windows beckons you to this serene space filled with natural light & breezes. A sliding glass door takes you to the deck with a pleasant view of greenspace and stunning sunsets. The spacious primary bdrm suite has great wall space for your furniture & artwork as well as an attached bath & walk-in closet. There is nice separation between the 2 bedrooms and baths assuring privacy for everyone.
