About This Home

As of May 2016

Come see this magnificent brick colonial! You will find a home that has been thoughtfully cared for, is move-in-ready, and has been fully updated with plenty of crown molding and chair-rail. After stepping onto the covered front porch, you'll enter into the center hall with a generous coat closet. The hall was recently tiled. To the right is the spacious living room with an updated fireplace and mantle with a power outlet for the flat screen TV. This room has new carpet while the entire main floor has been painted in complimentary neutral colors. On the other side of the home is the dining room with crown molding and stunning wood floors. In the eat-in-kitchen you will find a lovely tiled floor with striking dark wood cabinets, newer appliances, and a pantry. Standing at the sink, you can look into the back yard through two large windows allowing tons of natural sunlight to pour into the entire kitchen. There is also bulls nose counter top and extra storage in the built-in wall cabinetry. Nearby you have a very nicely appointed powder room. Right next to that is a family/TV room with chair rail, wainscoting, and a grand bay window. There is also a main floor laundry room with newer washer & dryer, updated utility sink, and storage. From there you have a brick three season room full of character with a door to the back yard. Upstairs there is more new carpet in the roomy hall with a large closet. All three bedrooms have wood floors oozing with character and charm. The roomy master bedroom has his and her closets and an entrance to the bathroom. Inside the clean lines of the bathroom you'll find a granite vanity as well as an entry from the hall too. The second bedroom is also splendidly sized. And there's still a cozy third bedroom. From the second floor you can access the attic for storage space from the pull-down stairs. You'll see more storage in the very tidy basement with access to a crawl space for even more storage. The large back yard includes a storage shed. This home is a short distance to the Norristown Farm Park, the Norristown section of the Schuylkill River Trail, Elmwood Park Zoo, and shopping. Not to mention easy access to major highways and public transportation. And walk to Marshall St Elementary School. HSA Home Warranty included!
