About This Home

As of August 2022

Amazing opportunity to own an updated 3 Bad / 2.5 Bath townhome with no HOA fees and low taxes within a desirable community in Lafayette Hill! Enter through the foyer into the sunny and bright living room with recessed lights and luxury vinyl plank flooring (that extends into the dining area, hall, and breakfast room). The updated kitchen features maple cabinetry, an island breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances including a built-in microwave, stove/oven, and a dishwasher. There is also a pantry in between the kitchen and breakfast room and a door off the kitchen that leads to the very large deck and huge oversized backyard that extends all the way to the fence line - perfect for your outdoor entertaining needs and your furry four-legged friends! Completing the main floor is a half bath with an updated vanity and light fixture. Upstairs, you will find the main ensuite bedroom which is spacious and has two very large closets, a ceiling fan, and a built-in vanity station that is currently being used as a home office. The main bathroom is totally updated with a newer vanity, toilet, tile flooring, and glass-enclosed shower stall. Completing the second floor are two additional sizable bedrooms that were recently repainted and feature recessed lighting and large closets and another full bathroom that has an updated vanity with a marble top, a new mirror and light fixture, and a tub/shower. As you enter the home through the 1-car garage into the lower level, there is a laundry room and a finished basement with recessed lights and built-in shelving and cabinet storage - ideal for your gym or at home office. Other features of this tastefully painted and meticulously maintained home include a newer HVAC system (2016) that is currently under warranty and a transferrable security system. Located in Colonial School District, walking distance to the Green Valley Country Club, close to highways, major roads, and nearby Chestnut Hill.
