West Chester, PA

Clocktower Woods is nestled off of E. Boot Road and Line Road in East Goshen Township. I believe the neighborhood was started in 1999 by the Hankin Group. The average lot size is about 1/2 an acre and the homes are simply lovely. I remember that when the builder first start building, several Bow Tree neighbors jumped ship and headed over to the newer development. Bow Tree is another popular neighborhood in East Goshen Township. Homestyles in Clocktower Woods are varied, but mostly consist of stucco, siding with some stone or brick fronts. Some homes have lovely front porches, most have first floor offices/dens. There is one model that has a first floor master bedroom suite.

Clocktower Woods is part of the West Chester Area School District.

There is currently only one home for sale in the neighborhood, listed at $754,900.

Two sales within the last 12 months were $801,000, $807,500 and one pending sale of a home that was listed for $859,900 and is scheduled for closing on 2/16.

Looking for a Chester County home? I'd love to help.

I deliver meals on wheels every Thursday. It's the best part of the week for me. As Chairperson of the Goshen-Towne Chapter of Meals on Wheels, I am also responsible for drivers and one of my drivers needed a substitute for today. I gladly volunteered to take her route as it's the same one I drive and it takes me to my very favorite over 55 community, Hershey's Mill.

It was a very foggy day today and I took a minute to take a photo of one of my favorite parts of the community.

Currently, there are 61 homes for sale in Hershey's Mill ranging from $149,000 to $495,000. That is up 6 since my last post about Hershey's Mill. There are also 6 pending settlement.

There is quite a selection and there is a home in every size and with every amenity.

If you are looking for a home in an over 55 community, I'd love the opportunity to take you on a tour of the different villages in Hershey's Mill. It's an active community with many fun things and groups. It is also fully gated and guarded 24 hours a day.

My office is also located in East Goshen Township. I am never too busy to help with your real estate needs.

It's that time of year again. Time to take down the decorations and put the old tree out by the curb. The tree pickup dates in East Goshen are as follows:

January 11 and January 25. Both Wednesdays.

Make sure to have your tree out to the curb the night before. Tress in plastic bags will NOT BE picked up.

Wishing you a wonderful, healthy and successful 2012.
