About This Home

As of December 2012

A large front porch forms a welcome entry to this all brick Shillington semi. The sun filled living room and dining room lead to a modern eat in kitchen. A first floor laundry, powder room and central air conditioning provide added convenience and comfort. Three second floor bedrooms have access to an open porch to enjoy the breezes or enclose for more living space. The walkout basement with garage is also very handy. This home has been professionally maintained by the owner with recently painted inside and outside with updated mechanicals. Convenient to shopping, transportation, and Governor Mifflin schools and A PRICE THAT IS BETTER THAN RENTING.
