There is a spacious, floored attic and exterior shed for additional storage, as well as a daylight utility room (great for exercise equipment). If you have lots of stuff…there are plenty of places to put it in this house. If you don’t have lots of stuff…don’t worry... There’s plenty of light in this bright, airy home to grow very large plants until more furniture finds you. Newly updated kitchen and den, newer high efficiency natural gas furnace, new central air conditioning and replacement windows are just some of the upgrades you'll find.The home is situated on a large lot with mature landscaping, several shade trees and several mature perennial pollinator gardens (please do not dig until you see what awaits you!).

The backyard is surrounded by mature hedges that provide privacy and includes a built-in firepit, making it great for entertaining. Gorgeous hardwood flooring on three levels, updated LVP and utility tile on lower level. Lower level family room has a working wood burning fireplace and a large woodpile to get you started is included.You will enjoy living in this highly walkable Pennside neighborhood...with easy access to the park, pool, lake, walking trails, basketball courts, youth athletic fields, grocery store, restaurants, thrift shop, salons and more within just a few blocks.
