About This Home

As of July 2019

This adorable Governor Mifflin semi-detached home has some excellent features with an equally attractive price tag to make your new home sweet home within reach! Tasteful paint colors are found throughout the home with each room having a different, fun style to it. The roof is only four years young, there is a newer gas boiler system, and an oversized detached garage you'll love for storing your prized vehicle or for your personal workshop. A great eat-in kitchen with fabulous pantry and all the appliances are included. The main level bedroom with vaulted ceiling and skylight can also be used as a family room, den or office, you decide. There are 3 bedrooms and full private bath on 2nd floor. Enjoy your large deck out back with friends and family this summer and your personal mini-deck from your bedroom upstairs. Let's setup your personal showing today before this one is gone!
