About This Home

As of July 2020

If you are wondering why this property is priced so low, it is because of two factors. First, the seller is Ultra Motivated! Secondly this is a combination of a great deal, packaged in a fixer-upper body. Yes this home needs some work, but boy oh boy-the possibilities and potential are endless! This beauty flows like a dream. It s easy for the curb appeal to shine (as per the picture) and the interior is ergonomically laid out and intellectually designed. The ground level is home to 2 large bedrooms and a modern (an updated) full bath with a stall shower. There is also a large mud/laundry room and an extend (elongated and L shaped) 1.5 car garage. Stroll upstairs to find a spacious living room with 2 sets of sliders to a cover balcony that extends from one end of the home to the other. If you enjoy a bright, open and airy home, you have it here! Next (separated by a non-baring wall) is an extended eat-in kitchen and dining area combination. If you knock down the wall between the Living room and the Kitchen/Dining room area, you will be left with a Great Room that will take your breath away! This upper level continues on with 2 more large bedrooms of its own and a very nice, full bathroom. The charm and enchantment of this home does not end here. It continues on to an entertainers dream of a fenced in back yard. Here you will find the perfect size in-ground pool, an extended concrete patio area and plenty of grass to sink your bare feet into. This is the perfect place to entertain your family and friends at your fair weather BBQ s or just disappear to quiet seclusion in your private oasis. Honorable mentions to this home include, energy efficient gas mechanics, some nice hard wood floors, an out door storage shed and unlimited potential. All this is just a short stroll from parks, shopping centers, fantastic eateries, local hospitals and medical centers, public transportation, major roadways including I-95, with easy access to Philadelphia, the Phila Airport, New York, Delaware and Washington and the world!
