About this home
A rare opportunity to own a historic stone farmhouse in West Chester, Pennsylvania, 617 Westbourne Road is an extraordinary 1742 residence set across two parcels totaling approximately 3.2 acres in desirable Westtown Township.
Blending nearly three centuries of history with thoughtfully updated modern living, this distinctive Chester County property offers three spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a period-appropriate addition designed to complement the architecture and character of the original stone farmhouse. A detached two-car garage, updated Sylvan swimming pool, composite deck, mature landscaping, and expansive private grounds complete the setting.
In addition to a formal living room, family room, and utility/pantry room, the home offers additional opportunities for flexible living and future expansion. Unfinished space above the detached garage could become a home office, studio, recreation room, guest space, or potential in-law or au pair suite. The unfinished basement provides additional possibilities and includes an unfinished wine cellar.
The outdoor setting is one of the property's most remarkable features. A spacious composite deck overlooks the professionally designed grounds and provides an inviting space for outdoor dining, entertaining, and enjoying the surrounding landscape. Beautifully maintained lawns are complemented by an impressive collection of specimen trees, including Black Tupelo, Scarlet Oak, clump birches, and a Redwood.
The updated Sylvan pool creates a private summer retreat, while the ruins of a historic spring house provide another connection to the property's centuries-old history. The grounds are also registered as a Monarch butterfly waystation, adding to the property's distinctive natural setting.
