It’s a rare opportunity when a home becomes available in the sought-after community of Willistown Hunt, one of the premier enclaves of Chester County, located in the award-winning Great Valley School District. Nestled in a quiet, insulated section of the neighborhood, this residence offers a serene backyard setting with tranquil wooded views, providing the best of both worlds- a peaceful, private environment with effortless access to nearby conveniences including West Chester Borough, the shops and restaurants at Ellis Preserve, and the scenic walking trails of Okehocking Preserve. This spacious and versatile home, offering four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, features a fully finished walk-out lower level and a backyard setting rarely found in the neighborhood, making 88 Longview Lane a standout residence within the community. Residents of Willistown Hunt enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle where all exterior care is handled for a very modest monthly fee, allowing more time to enjoy what matters most. With low property taxes relative to its size and thoughtful upgrades, ownership here is as practical as it is rewarding. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed floor plan that flows seamlessly from one room to the next. Each space has its own personality, from elegant crown molding and wainscoting to warm, inviting living areas ideal for gathering and entertaining. The kitchen’s eastern exposure fills the space with cheerful morning light—bright and uplifting, yet comfortably shaded from the stronger afternoon sun in the west. The two-story family room is both impressive and cozy, featuring a gas fireplace that creates the perfect focal point for relaxing winter evenings. The family room connects effortlessly to the eat-in kitchen, creating the open-concept layout today’s buyers desire. A large pantry and breakfast area with sliding doors to the elevated deck invite you to enjoy morning coffee surrounded by nature or host summer barbecues with ease.
The walk-out lower level, finished in 2015 with meticulous attention to detail, is a true highlight offering exceptional flexibility. Whether used as a fourth bedroom, private home office, cozy den, recreation area, or self-contained suite for guests or intergenerational living, the possibilities are endless. Natural light streams through the rear sliding doors and three large windows, while an L-shaped bar with cabinetry, sink, and refrigerator adds function and style. A 17x11 bedroom with ensuite bath and closet plus a storage area with built-in shelving complete this well-designed space. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms, all featuring Hunter ceiling fans and neutral carpeting. The primary suite includes a tray ceiling with double crown molding, recessed lighting, and a large window framing views of the colorful trees beyond. The ensuite bath offers a soaking tub, stall shower, and double vanity, complemented by a walk-in closet plus an additional closet for ample storage. A dedicated laundry room with shelving, counter space, and cabinetry makes household organization easy. A full hall bath with tub/shower combo and linen closet complete this level. Recent upgrades ensure peace of mind for years to come. The HVAC was converted to a two-zone system in 2015, allowing separate control of the lower and main levels from the upper floor. The heater was replaced with a Lennox model in 2023, and the air conditioning unit in 2025. The roof was replaced by the HOA using reserve funds around 2022–2023, and the hot water heater was replaced in 2018. From its tranquil wooded backdrop and low-maintenance lifestyle to its elegant finishes, flexible floor plan, and carefully maintained systems, 88 Longview Lane offers an exceptional opportunity to live beautifully and comfortably in Willistown Hunt.
