About This Home

As of September 2021

Hampden Heights corner beauty! This home is in a great location close to Albright University and in a beautiful neighborhood. The entire interior of this home has been given a refresh and has a great flow. The living room is a generous size with a great front window and a pretty brick decorative feature with mantel. The dining room gets a ton of light from the side and is open to the kitchen. What can I say about the kitchen-it's fabulous! It has undergone a complete transformation with new cabinetry, quartz counter tops, the addition of an island, stainless steel appliances, new tile flooring, new mother of pearl back splash, a stainless sink with garbage disposal and the addition of a dishwasher. Just beyond the kitchen is a lovely heated breakfast room with windows all around that will surely become a favorite spot in the morning or any time. On the 2nd level are 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The floors have been refinished and a lovely walnut stain applied to bring out the warmth. 2 of the 3 bedrooms have wall unit AC and the smallest bedroom is a walk through to the 3rd floor. The main bath has been given a whole new look with new tile flooring, floor to ceiling patterned chic tile in the shower/bath tub area, a new vanity and updated lighting. On the 3rd level is a huge bedroom that could have so many purposes. It is 21 ft by 21 ft, has AC and an exhaust fan, refinished floor and the king mattress can stay with the home. Lighting has been replaced throughout the home. The basement is unfinished but large and a new washer and dryer remain with the home. There is the ability to have a garage space if needed off the side driveway. A small toilet room is located in the basement for convenience. A workshop completes the rear of the basement and presents a host of possibilities. Gas heat, gas hot water, wall unit AC that keeps this home very comfortable, a corner lot, close to all amenities, great walking neighborhood and MORE! Showings start 8/3/2021 so don't delay scheduling to see this beauty!
