Bow Tree has long been one of the most popular neighborhoods in the West Chester area school district. Located near the intersection of Strasburg Road and Rt 352, there are roughly 300 plus homes there. The first phase of Bow Tree was built by custom builders. After that, Ferguson and Flynn finished out the bulk of the neighborhood. Most homes are between 2500 to 3000 square feet on about 1/2 an acre, although some homes sit on slightly more land. The landscaping that the builder did when these homes were new is still in evidence today and I love driving through Bow Tree in the spring as there are many flowering trees and shrubs. It's truly a pretty neighborhood and a great location. There is a very active civic association and lots of neighborhood happenings. For more information on the civic association, go to www.bowtree.org.
Current prices range from $479,900 to $575,000. I am proud to say that my listing at 532 Beaumont Circle, priced at $589,900 is pending settlement with a settlement date of 8/11/10 (sales price to be published after closing)! My sellers, both wonderful people, made this sale possible by the gorgeous improvements in the property and by using the services of a home stager (and, of course, me). They did everything right.
Two closed sales in the past 12 months are priced $504,500 and $525,000. This is a marked contrast to prveious years when homes were going anywhere from $580,000 to $650,000!
