About This Home

As of November 2019

Cozy ranch on a corner lot with a spacious backyard located within Governor Mifflin Schools. Enjoy time on the oversized rear deck overlooking the fenced in yard and the tranquil sounds of a koi pond. If working on projects is what you desire; the two car garage is heated. The main floor above grade finished area consists of the living room, dinning room, kitchen and for convenience the main bedroom and grand sized bathroom. The kitchen offers features that are being put back into homes; this includes the farm house style sink and wooden cabinets above the sink. Beyond the kitchen the mudroom is great place for coats, shoes and additional storage in the pantry. The partially finished basement has plenty of finished area to use your imagination.
