About This Home

As of May 2024

Convenience & Affordability describes this home the best! This is a TOTALLY REMODELED spacious CapeCod style home offering 2-3 BR's & 1.5baths. There is also an extra shower/sink in the LARGE WALK-OUT basement next to a nice sized 1CAR GARAGE. The setting & views are priceless with almost .25Acre partially WOODED LOT offering shade trees & the sounds of 6 different birds chirping on a Saturday morning. All of that but yet so close to the I-78 commuting artery & all of the other activities going on in The City, such as IronPigs & Phantoms games, Festivals, Grocery stores, CVS & more! This home is WELL-BUILT & very WELL-MAINTAINED. The living room PELLET STOVE helps offset heating costs & the home has low taxes for better mortgage payments than some other comparable homes. There is a large COVERED PORCH w/PANORAMIC VIEWS of the skyline. This is an incredible LOCATION & it's worth paying a visit to this QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD, thanks so much for your interest, we appreciate your business!!
