• Remarks Public: Very large brick home on corner lot in Governor Mifflin School district. Large lot with fully shaded backyard patio. Why park on the street when you have plenty of private parking with the 2 car garage and the long driveway? The home itself is a solidly built brick single with slate roof. The front features a fully enclosed porch with hanging swing, leading to the spacious living room with a gas fireplace and stone mantel. Local author John Updike is rumored to have been married in this room (not verified). Beautiful period glass French doors lead from the living room to the enclosed sun room and also to the dining room, boasting a lovely bay window. The contemporary kitchen features stainless appliances, wall mounted oven and microwave, granite counters, stone backsplash, tile floors, plus a garden window! Upstairs are four generous sized bedrooms, one of which features and additional enclosed porch plus a gas fireplace. This room also leads to the enormous finished attic, complete with home gym. Lots of room for a bedroom or office up there, as well as additional storage (central air conditioning components are easily accessible as well). In addition to all of this, the home also has a finished basement, adding more than 400 extra sq ft of space. Seller is leaving the beer fridge with tap, so could become the go to spot for entertainment! Several additional storage rooms down here, along with the large laundry room and access to the 2 car garage.
