About This Home
As of October 2023Are you looking for a small home with a touch of nature in the backyard? Sit on your patio and enjoy the trees and the view of the creek. Although flood insurance is required, the home is a good distance from the creek and it did not get water inside from the July 9th storm in Exeter Township. The lower level has a nice size bedroom with a wall closet and shoe closet. There is a full bath for convenience and a finished family room. It could be ideal if someone has a family member that is looking for their own private space. The laundry area of the lower level was just painted with epoxy paint. Upstairs you will find an eat-in kitchen with built-in appliances and a space for a table. The living room and bedroom wood floors were just refinished and all of the upstairs were professionally painted last week so that the new owners can just move in and relax. The driveway has enough space for 3+ cars and a shed for lawn tools. The patio is covered and has 2 ceiling fans. This could quickly become your favorite hang-out spot. Whether you are looking for a home to move into or a nice investment property, this one is worth looking at.
