Description

This single floor home on 2 beautiful acres in Montgomery is a unique find! Close to wonderful schools, it was built in 1955 with a significant addition in 1988. Write your chapter in this home's history book. The charms of 156 Orchard Road include hardwood floors in the eating area of the kitchen, the hall, and bedrooms of the 1955 section that have never been sanded. Refinishing should restore them to their original beauty. A covered porch/deck provides shade for comfortable summertime enjoyment....This single floor home on 2 beautiful acres in Montgomery is a unique find! Close to wonderful schools, it was built in 1955 with a significant addition in 1988. Write your chapter in this home's history book. The charms of 156 Orchard Road include hardwood floors in the eating area of the kitchen, the hall, and bedrooms of the 1955 section that have never been sanded. Refinishing should restore them to their original beauty. A covered porch/deck provides shade for comfortable summertime enjoyment. The main living area has an in-law suite complete with a private entrance. Other attributes include an attached garage at basement level as well as two detached sheds/ garages complete with electrical power and a heated full basement. The septic system was replaced in 2001. The home is being sold "as is", and with some TLC you can make this diamond in the rough sparkle! Detail on interesting features:
> Awesome Montgomery Township schools, all within 3 miles
> Home is heated via hot water radiators - original and awesome heating method, quieter and less drying than windy forced-air. >Two sheds - smaller has a concrete floor and is big enough to park a car. The larger shed might be your workshop. Both sheds have lectricity but are neither insulated nor heated. >Expandable living room - office was created by consuming part of living room area
>Home has natural gas, so gas cooking is a possibility
>Hallway pull-down stairs to attic - check out the top notch insulating job! >Full unfinished basement might tranaslate to easy (cheaper?) installation of central air conditioning
>Modern septic system (2002)

Basement features
>>>overhead radiators for heat (unlike the main floor, these do have fans)
>>> elevator (needs some work). Of course there are stairs also. >>>garage door style outside entrance (in addition to the garage itself)
>>> wash sink just inside entrance
>>> newer furnace, efficient enough to exhaust via PVC piping
>>>gravity drain means no sump pump issues (like during a power failure or finding out the hard way a pump is broken)
>>>garage has a drain- comfortable car washing in winter? Home is mostly original and can be expected to have typical age-related issues and cosmetic challenges. It is being sold "AS IS" an is priced accordingly. With the in-law suite, you might choose to live here while you refresh this beauty!
