About This Home

As of December 2021

Fantastic Governor Mifflin Colonial SMD with a very nice center hall design floor plan. Very clean and well kept! Only the 2nd owner in 36 years! Built as a 3 BR but the original owner removed a wall between the front 2 BRS to make a very large MBR. Those 2 rooms measured 12x11 & 13x11. The wall can easily be reinstalled to make it a 3 BR again or leave as is for a wonderful MBR. The rear bedroom and hallway have hardwood flooring. Spacious sun splashed living room with hardwood floor. Gorgeous modern 25 handle Oak eat-in kitchen with built-in microwave, dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator, adjacent dining area and access to the very large rear deck. Convenient main level powder room, large basement ready for finishing into a nice rec room. Laundry room in basement with access to the cemented patio. Nice fenced yard with shed. Electric baseboard heat with central air. Nice pleasing decor throughout. Paved driveway parking for 2 cars out-front. Excellent convenient location on a low traffic street dead-end street located within minutes to major roads, schools, shopping and the hospital. The property backs up to Birdland. This special home is a MUST SEE! Priced to sell quickly!!
