About This Home
As of November 2021It’s time to indulge in easy-care living with this beautiful multi-story home. I love the split-level layout with an elevated eat-in kitchen filled with natural light, stainless steel appliances and plenty of space for entertaining. Australian cypress hardwood floors flow into the separate formal living and dining room warmed by a fireplace and set under a pitched ceiling.
The lower-level family room is a perfect place to enjoy quality downtime or I can step out to the sun-soaked, custom-built EP Henry patio and take in views over the fenced yard. There’s plenty of space for entertaining while the easy-care gardens mean I can spend my weekends doing what I love.
The three bedrooms are all a great size and there are 2.5 bathrooms including my spacious and light-filled master suite with an ensuite and walk-in closet. A one-car garage, ceiling fans, and a laundry room are some of the extra features on offer. My new home is located moments from the Poquessing Valley Park and the local golf course while Center City is just 25 minutes away.
