About This Home

As of July 2023

GREAT OPPORTUNITY IN QUIET PALMERTON NEIGHBORHOOD! This solid brick 6+BR, 2-BA house has excellent “bones” and everything you need to turn it into a comfortable, home-sweet-home! Most recently used by the parish for education and charitable activities. Well maintained throughout the years, but could use some updating; fresh paint on the walls, new carpeting, new flooring in the kitchen to transform this house into the perfect place to gather with your friends or raise a family. It also offers spacious rooms, hardwood floors, eat-in kitchen, and an enclosed sunroom, plus the additional rooms on the 1st floor allows you to expand to add a family, bedroom or in-home office. A full walk-out basement leads to a large fenced-in yard with an outdoor parking pad accommodating up to 6 cars. Conveniently close to churches, schools, parks and downtown shopping. The property is sold "AS IS" and comes with diocesan restrictions for future use. Truly a lot of house for the asking price!
