About This Home

As of July 2020

This charming Hampden Heights stone home is a must-see! Located on a quiet street in a historical neighborhood, the picturesque property has been well cared for and is in move-in ready condition. Upon entering into the spacious living room with stone fireplace, you will find the original hardwood floors running throughout, along with iconic deep window sills. An adjacent formal dining room boasts plenty of afternoon sunlight that flows into the newly-remodeled kitchen, featuring granite countertops, a porcelain tiled floor and backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. The first floor is complete with a quaint powder room that has also been updated and highlights a granite vanity top. Upstairs you will find three nicely-sized bedrooms and a recently renovated bath with quartz countertop. There is also a full walk-up attic with its own hardwood floors. The charm and character spills outside into the mature trees and beautifully landscaped yard which includes a flagstone patio and another stone fireplace. One car attached garage. Central air and economical gas heat provide the perfect temperature inside the home, and you can have peace of mind with the slate roof being only 5 years old. With the abundant curb appeal this home possesses and the convenience of the Mount Penn Preserve hiking trails directly across the street, you would be proud to call this home.
