About This Home
As of August 2020Super cute SINGLE HOME in charming East Lansdowne Borough. Through the entryway, walk through the living room and take in the gorgeous exposed beams and stained glass windows surrounding the fireplace. Next, find the dining room and nice-sized, bright kitchen with an exit to the expansive backyard and private driveway. 2 bedrooms and a full bath complete the Main floor. The large, open second floor has enough room for a third bedroom and plenty of space for recreation or storage. Other attractive features of this home are the HUGE backyard, large PRIVATE driveway and an adorable covered front porch and front yard. There is a very large (unfinished) walkout basement as well with laundry area and lots of room for storage or other uses. This house has been very well maintained and has LOADS of potential - it just needs your personal touches! This property is being sold AS-IS and buyer will be responsible for U&O; however, a new section of the main stack and new water heater are being installed. East Lansdowne is a charming borough with tree-lined streets and a close-knit community feel. Convenient to public transportation, it is minutes from shopping and dining in the booming Angora and Cedar Park neighborhoods of Philadelphia as well as University City.
