About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to 70 W Court Avenue, nestled in the heart of desirable Spring Township and Wilson School District! This beautiful brick Cape Cod home, situated on a large corner lot of a picturesque tree-lined street, has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 50 years, and it is ready for its next chapter!
Upon entering, you are greeted with an expansive open living room, featuring a flood of natural sunlight and original hardwood flooring that extends throughout the home. The living room flows nicely into the open dining room, perfect for family dinners or hosting special occasions, and continues into the generously-sized kitchen that is ideal for cooking enthusiasts, with room for casual dining. Just off of the kitchen is a powder room, basement access, and a convenient, oversized laundry room with access to the backyard. A thoughtfully designed addition on this level provides extra square footage, while creating an open floor plan that enhances the flow and functionality of these key living spaces! From the living room, the hallway will lead you to 2 nicely-sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and stairway access to the oversized second floor where the possibilities are endless! This level features a generous third bedroom, as well as a versatile space that boasts plenty of storage space and the possibility for an additional bedroom, home office, playroom or huge walk-in closet. Back downstairs, the sizable basement offers a built-in workbench and has ample storage space and plenty of untapped potential for future customization! Additional features of this amazing home include an attached 1-car garage, efficient gas heat, and a lush outdoor space, with plenty of room for play and relaxation. This home is perfect for anyone looking for one-floor living in a great neighborhood! And also for those who value space, light, and flexibility, with classic Cape Cod charm and fantastic curb appeal! Call today for a private showing, it won’t last long!
