About This Home

As of October 2022

Wow, what a cul de sac oasis in Upper Allen Township! This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath sprawling ranch can really be 6 bedrooms with plenty of home office and homework space. Upgrades galore: beautiful hardwood floors, newer windows (in the original part of the home), new furnace, chair rails, two sets of bow windows, crown moldings, wainscoting, recessed lighting, exposed beams ...all on an acre+ lot. Kitchen features new dishwasher, island, Corian countertops, walk-in pantry off laundry and access to terrific deck perfect for entertaining. In addition, you will not believe the amount of natural light where you can truly appreciate the owners' love of landscaping. The extensive hardscape was planned around the natural rock, gazebo, basketball court area, play building (with electric!) and potting shed. The whole house generator is newer, fueled by propane and stays with the home. Washer, dryer, kitchen fridge, fridge and freezer in pantry remain. Oversized two car garage has tons of storage. Bike path maintained by Upper Allen Township.
