Located on a superb lot: 1) nicely tucked near the rear of the community (less through traffic) and 2) situated on a highly-desirable tree-lined/sidewalk street community offering tons of open/common space to walk the fur-babies. 178 Longford is a WORRY-FREE purchase, as so many structural/mechanical components have been recently updated to include: NEWER!

Only a job relocation makes this lovely home available (pardon all the boxes, sellers are nearly 80% packed and ready to go)… a quick settlement is possible, but sellers are flexible. You will absolutely love putting your personal touches to this special home that is close to everything: located off of Boot Rd, ease of access to Rt. 202 (less than 2 mins), 100, 29, 401 & 30-Bypass; Exton/Whitford Train Stations (6-7 mins) as well as host of restaurants and shopping (Whole Foods (3 mi), Trader Joe's (15 mins), Target (4 mi), Walmart (3 mi), Costco (15 mi), & KOP Mall (20 mins)).

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
