About This Home

Welcome to this exceptionally well-kept 2 bedroom / 1.5 bath home on the last block of a quiet street. Step inside and relax, because everything has been done for you - a new roof, new dishwasher, new range hood, new LVT flooring and new carpeted stairs in finished basement, central air, double pane windows, entire house rewired and upgraded to 100 amp service with a new breaker box, more outlets added inside and outside, alarm system, closets enlarged in both bedrooms, bay window in the living room - the list goes on and on. Now for what makes this home truly special - a fully finished basement, with a large room with closet that has been used as a bedroom, TV room and office. A half bath, pantry, laundry / work area, extra large cedar closet and deep closet under the stairs leave no questions about storage. (Please note there is a shower stall that is currently not working in the basement - selling as is).
The beautiful front yard includes a patio and garden that won 1st place in the 2025 Norristown small garden competition (outside faucets have been installed front and back!). Big perk - parking is available on both sides of the street, as there are no homes across the way. Step out onto the roomy back porch, perfect for enjoying downtime under the ceiling fan with roll down shades, and extra storage underneath. A paver stone vegetable garden awaits next year's tomatoes.
