About This Home

As of November 2024

Welcome to this stunning Norristown renovation! Born circa 1910, this porch front single has all of the charm of history's past and the modern finishes today's buyer craves. Over the last 12 years the current owner has poured his heart and soul into completely restoring this beauty to utter perfection. Enter into the oversized foyer and the main level which is wide open and features beautifully refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a formal living room with ornamental fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, granite breakfast bar, and matching GE Profile stainless steel appliances, a formal dining room, and a powder room. Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms, a laundry area, and a huge slate tile full bath featuring an enormous walk-in shower with built-in shelving and bench. This home was converted to gas forced air heat and central air conditioning and also features a tankless hot water heater system. Plenty of storage available with your full basement and 3rd story walk-up attic. Outdoor space is abundant with your relaxing front porch and back yard. This gem provides great off-street parking with your detached 1 car garage and 2 car rear driveway. Conveniently located within minutes to shopping, highway entrances and all forms of public transportation. This is a very special house that is priced to sell!!
