About This Home

As of May 2012

Incredible value, just a short walk from Albright College. Enjoy this 3 BR home inside and out, with a covered front porch, and open rear deck. On the inside, every detail has been updated and well maintained. Hardwood floors throughout with tile bath. Tile backsplash and updated kitchen - this is a gem. The finished basement is top of the line, great for entertaining, or just relaxing. Don't take my word for it - at this price, it's worth a look!
