About This Home

As of March 2012

Well maintained. Immaculate. This may very well be the nicest Semi for the money! Located within walking distance to Albright, shopping & highways this home has so much to offer. Before even entering in, you will notice the Solid Brick home with stone accents, slate roof, leaded accent windows, off-street parking & garage! In the front door to the right is a large living room with brick fireplace, which overlooks the dining room. Then over to the completely remodeled eat-in kitchen with lots of cabinet & counter space~~~I am sure you will love this kitchen! From here, head out back onto the covered porch with a real nice view of the city skyline, backyard & even look over to the college campus or head upstairs to three large bedrooms & a full bath. But that's not it! Then up to the third floor to a 4th bedroom with lots of character. The basement is home to the laundry area, mechanicals & also the garage with a walkout into the back yard. Please call to schedule your showing today, this home will not last!
