This home is located in the heart of Shillington and is close to every possible convenience including schools, shopping and roadways. Very deceiving home that is much bigger than it looks. There is a large office, living room, family room and dining room on the main floor. There is also a 1st floor full bath on this level. Very cute kitchen that opens to the rear covered porch. The rear yard and overall landscaping will blow you away! In addition to the covered porch there is amazing and wonderful landscaping that creates a complete rear yard oasis. It includes a spot for a table as well as a meditation bench. There are also additional patio areas for plenty of room for outdoor entertaining. There is great rear alley access and a large 2 car garage and plenty of off-street parking. The second floor of the home has 3 - 4 bedrooms and a full bath. Plenty of room for you and possibilities for a home office. This home does need your personal touches but has plenty of space and room to grow. Large full basement with finished rec room and laundry area. There is gas to the house so you can also consider a conversion to gas heat at some point. The home is located in the L-C Limited Commercial district so there are also many possibilities there as well. This home is definitely worth checking out as you will not get this much room and this awesome location anywhere else for the money. 1-yr Warranty included with acceptable offer.
