422 S Main St Shrewsbury, PA 17361

Here is the thing - you will not be able to find a kitchen like this one in Shrewsbury in a house in this price range - you will need to spend closer to $450000 to get a kitchen like this. You will not get a level acre of land with over 3300 SF brick home in Shrewsbury for this price. So keep that in mind when you look at this beautiful home. The owners were getting ready to give her a new paint job and do some work on the barn when life changed. You will find that with rooms as big as these the word "open concept" is really not very important anymore. The Sellers have made a few recent changes and we think this beauty can accept VA/FHA/USDA financing as well as conventional. This super cool home can tell a lot of tales. Thought to be first constructed in the late 1700 s, it served as an Inn and expanded in 1860 to become this elegant home. Prepare to be amazed at how PRIVATE a Main St home can be. It is an OASIS. This over 1-acre flat site is very private with BEAUTIFUL GARDENS that give you the feel of a home in the country.
