About This Home

As of May 2025

Adorable and Affordable! This move-in ready, Penbrook Boro single awaits your inspection! Just recently painted throughout, this three-bedroom home features many new windows, a lot of recent flooring, an architectural roof (appx 5 yrs old), a two-year old gas hot water heater, and a brand-new refrigerator. Currently the large 2nd floor bedroom is heated by electric, while the 1st floor is heated by oil. There is gas already in the house for the water heater, so heat and cooking can easily be changed to gas by a buyer if they desire. Both trash and sewer charges are included in the borough property tax, so you will not be receiving separate bills for those. There is also a decent sized back yard with a large shed. To make the deal even sweeter, the sellers are including a one-year HSA home warranty to give new buyers peace of mind. Schedule your showing today, but hurry...this one won't last!
