About This Home

As of December 2021

A not-to-miss hidden gem in Muhlenberg! This large two-story, center-hall Colonial in Riverview Park sits regally on a large one-third acre lot. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the house. Large windows let lots of sun into the large living and dining room, and the family room has plenty of space for cozy relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen includes a cheery built-in banquet. Additional 1/2 bath on the main level. The inviting staircase leads to the second level with three nice sized bedrooms plus a primary bedroom en-suite. Also a family bath. The covered back patio leads to a very spacious backyard, great for cookouts, gardening, and just unwinding from the day. Attached one car garage. This home was cared for by only one owner and is looking for the next loving owner to take it to the next level. Priced right and ready to sell!
