About This Home
As of December 2018Looking for a move in ready, nicely updated home in Wilson Schools? Then come check out 4048 Penn Ave! This 3 story semi detached home in the heart of Sinking Spring offers 5/6 bedrooms and 2 full baths which is unheard of for a home at this price point! The main level features a spacious living/dining room with recessed LED lighting and beautiful laminate flooring. From there you enter the over-sized eat in kitchen that has been completely remodeled with custom cabinetry and a unique tile flooring design. All appliances are brand new and will remain. On the main level there is also a tremendous full bath with walk in tile shower. A mud room off the kitchen is great for storage. The second level offers three bedrooms as well as a second full bath. The largest bedroom also has an enclosed side porch that could be used as a walk in closet. It doesn't end there as the third floor offers 2/3 more bedrooms! The entire home has been freshly painted and all the carpeting on the 2nd/3rd floors is brand new. Efficient gas heat and hot water along with replacement windows will keep heating/energy costs low. Another perk to consider is the Sinking Spring 2020 project. Steps are being taken by the Boro to create a "central business district" nearby that would bring restaurants, shopping, and more small business to the area. Putting a smart owner in the path of growth and future appreciation. Commercial uses are also an option. Set up a showing today!
