This isn’t your ordinary single-floor home. It’s bright, airy, and full of character. The spacious living room greets you with soaring high ceilings and walls of natural light that make every day feel sunnier. Just beyond, the well-designed kitchen opens seamlessly into the dining area—perfect for everything from quiet morning coffee to lively gatherings. You’ll love the three generous bedrooms, especially the primary with its private full bathroom. The second full bath is a showstopper, featuring a luxurious walk-in shower with room to truly stretch out and unwind. Upstairs, a massive attic with a full staircase waits for your vision—turn it into a dreamy second living room, cozy den, home office, or creative studio. Or keep it as bonus storage; either way, the space is pure potential. Stay comfortable year-round with central air conditioning for those sticky Pennsylvania summers and efficient gas heat for cozy winters. Outside, a charming covered front porch invites you to sit and watch the world go by, while the detached garage and expansive yard give you room to breathe, play, garden, or entertain. This home has been thoughtfully refreshed from top to bottom—newer flooring, fresh paint, updated bathrooms, mechanicals, and so much more. Move-in ready with nothing left to do but make it yours. Homes with this much space, style, and personality on a double lot don’t come along every day. If you’re looking for something special that doesn’t blend in, this one’s calling your name. Schedule your private tour today—before someone else claims this gem!
