About This Home

As of December 2019

IMMACULATE SHILLINGTON 2 Story Colonial! This 4 Bedroom 1 and a half bath home has been beautifully maintained and enjoyed by it's present owners for the past 29 years, and the upgrades require a sheet of their own, there is so much to list .Entering the home at the front is a beautifully landscaped yard and large covered front porch. The vestibule provides shelter from the wind and a great spot for your umbrella, jackets and rain gear. Passing through the vestibule you enter the large living room with Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring (virtually indestructible) natural oak woodwork and faux fireplace. The large dining room is just off the living room through a pair of "of the period" pocket doors and has great natural sunlight. The kitchen has been completely redone with cherry finished cabinets, granite counter tops and all the appliances remain. There is also a Butlers Pantry off the kitchen, a powder room, and a hallway with closet that leads to the rear yard . From the kitchen you can also access the stairway to the second floor. The second level has 4 nice sized bedrooms, full bath and bonus room off the 4th bedroom or office. There is a full walk-up attic with tons of storage space. The lower level has a finished rec room and large utility room with washer/dryer and walk-out to the back yard. Rounding out this great home is a private backyard, vinyl fencing and an oversized 2 car detached garage with separate workshop. No quality or expense has been spared in this home. This certainly is a complete turn-key home. Please see the documents section of this listing for all the features and up-grades of this home. Call today for your private showing.
