About This Home
As of April 2025This extremely unique 2 story home features a large living and kitchen, full bath and 2 bedrooms on the first floor, hardwood floors beneath the existing wall to wall carpeting, a large fenced in yard and great city views. The neighborhood is close to everything, it has a great residential feel but is blocks from stores and restaurants, interstate 81 and less than a mile to downtown ScrantonAnd on the 2nd floor with it gets even more interesting. It includes a fully finished bedroom, baseboard heat, pine floors and it has been completely studded out and wired and ready to be finished. Easily add 3 more bedrooms, a full bathroom, a den/office and a storage room. This is definitely worth a tour.
