The kitchen has all new stainless appliances featuring a 5 burner stove and 36" side by side refrigerator with water dispenser and ice maker. There is an outside porch adjacent to the kitchen and the back yard has privacy fencing. There is additional outside space - a sizable front patio. The second floor has 3 spacious bedrooms and new floors as well. The master bedroom also has recessed lighting and a ceiling fan with remote. The main bath has custom ceramic tiles and custom shower/bath combo. The entrance to the basement was opened to flow from the 1st floor living area and kitchen. There are custom fabricated railings throughout. The basement has new flooring, recessed lighting and an additional full bathroom (two full bathrooms). The basement is sizable - ideal for entertaining, a home office, family room or a combination of each. There is a separate laundry room area with washer/dryer hookups. The home also has central air and combination detectors on each floor and in every bedroom. The home has convenient access to public transportation, and is near parks, Bartram's Garden, the Schuylkill River Trail and numerous shops and restaurants. Move in ready... Just drop your bags and enjoy historical Kingsessing...
