About This Home

As of March 2013

This home will not disappoint! Convenient to the New Einstein Hospital, shopping, restaurants, & major routes such as 422. Owners have taken pride in ownership and all that's left for you to do is move in! The tile floor entryway welcomes you into the spacious living room & adjoining dining room. The Eat-In Kitchen was updated in 2011 with a custom tile back splash, new gas range, new dishwasher and beautiful counter tops. The kitchen overlooks a cozy Family Room with plenty of natural lighting from the skylights and french doors that lead you to a new deck perfect for those warm summer nights. The main level is completed by a half bath that was beautifully updated in 2008. The upper level features generous sized bedrooms with ample closet space and a gorgeous full bath that was completely updated in December of 2012 with a new tub, new tile surround, beautiful tile flooring, and upgraded fixtures! The enormous finished basement has endless possibilities! Owners are very sad to leave their amazing neighbors!
