About This Home

As of January 2018

Fantastically well-maintained, solid brick semi-detached home located in the heart of Shillington. Kitchen offers stylish cherry cabinets, newer countertops and updated appliances including microwave hood. All rooms are quite large and the entire home has replacement windows. Approx 2-year old, economical Weil-McLain gas boiler offers lower heating cost and peace of mind. Water heater is also approx 2 years old. You'll love the covered rear porch and large deck great for entertaining. There is also off-street parking and a large 2 year old shed great for storage. Upstairs paneling added when all 2nd floor walls received additional insulation. Just needs a little paint to update. This home has solid "guts" and just needs a little love to make it a perfect home.
