About This Home

As of October 2020

Highly Motivated seller looking for the right buyer. Come tour this impeccably well maintained, completed updated and well appointed detached Ranch home in Abington Township. Significantly updated and expanded from the base footprint over several years the homeowners have made use of every possible square inch of livable space to maximize the joy of living in this beautifully decorated home. This property has been changed from 952 Square feet in public records to more than 1700 square feet of living space by reclaiming every usable inch in the basement. Once inside you will see wonderful appointments which make this home, although compact, a joy to live in comfort and convenience. Open Vaulted ceilings in living and dining areas adjoined by a completely updated Quartz and Stainless kitchen and large skylights to let in the daylight. Pro stainless steel appliances and powerful gas cooking with a built in Microwave range-hood. Vinyl Side entry door and exit to the rear yard and patio area from kitchen area. On the rear side of the main level you will find three bedrooms and a full bath with Tub and Shower connected by a central hallway. Attic storage above the bedrooms on the main level. On the lower level you will find a fully finished watertight basement with a private master bedroom, private master bath and a master bedroom seating area. To complete the basement, an oversize finished living room with a private office area and a full laundry room. Excellent usage of all available space throughout the entire property. The finished basement roughly doubles the living area of the home. On the outside, the property is totally maintenance free. Total update of all mechanicals and living areas. Aside from trimming the lawn and seasonal clipping of the custom shrubs, the exterior is protected with new no-maintenance vinyl siding, new rain gutters, gutter guards, a custom hardscaped front entry patio, landscape lighting and a large rear yard fully fenced with decorative privacy vinyl. Enjoy warm spring, summer and fall evenings on the rear patio and be confident the newer roof, siding and gutters are protected from the elements to keep outdoor maintenance and possible water penetration into the foundation to a minimum. You won't want to miss touring this very special property. Seller looking to start immediate conversation. Seller moving to new home in early September. This home could be yours in 30 days or less. Make your touring appointment today. Limited showing hours to accommodate student learning and study hours.
