Welcome home to this TURN-KEY Craftsman-style home sitting on a corner lot with lots of CHARACTER, Old-World charm, and updates/improvements including central A/C, newer HVAC system, new gutters, soffit, fascia, and much, much more. As you enter through the leaded glass door with sidelights you will immediately be stunned by the large living room with a brick fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The beautifully preserved natural chestnut woodworking and original hardwood flooring throughout the house...Welcome home to this TURN-KEY Craftsman-style home sitting on a corner lot with lots of CHARACTER, Old-World charm, and updates/improvements including central A/C, newer HVAC system, new gutters, soffit, fascia, and much, much more. As you enter through the leaded glass door with sidelights you will immediately be stunned by the large living room with a brick fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The beautifully preserved natural chestnut woodworking and original hardwood flooring throughout the house are displayed by ample natural light that floods all the rooms through the large windows. The living room is open to the formal dining room through wooden french doors (that can be closed or remain open). The formal dining room boasts beloved stained glass windows, a ceiling fan, and newer paint. The Quaker Maid kitchen has been recently updated with cabinets that have been painted white, Corian countertops, brand new laminate plank flooring, and a rolling island with storage and seating. There is easy access from the kitchen to the secluded flagstone 11 x 22 patio, great for entertaining, as well as access to the basement/laundry area. Also off the kitchen is the 1/2 bathroom with a new pedestal sink, new paint, and new flooring. Enjoy the views of your English garden from the kitchen sink or enclosed second-floor porch that is attached to the Primary bedroom. The upper levels have 5 private bedrooms all with spacious closets, storage areas, and tons of natural light. The Primary bedroom has an attached enclosed 2nd-floor porch with a fire escape, lighting, and screens for fresh air. This is a great spot to sit, relax, read a book, or have your morning cup of coffee. The 3rd floor (finished Attic/5th bedroom) offers architecturally charming ceilings, hardwood flooring, its own electric baseboard heating to make it cozy in the winter, and plenty of storage including a walk-in closet. The outside has multiple raised garden areas, extensive landscaping, a secluded side patio, and an oversized 2-car detached garage/carriage house. The oversized detached garage is in good condition with updated electric wiring and a workman's bench. The outside A/C unit was just replaced with a brand new, more efficient unit, and all of the rest of the mechanicals were purchased in 2012 or are newer. There is efficient natural gas heating, cooking, as well as a gas dryer hook-up. The heater was JUST cleaned and serviced on 9/20/2021. Also, Shillington Borough required $4,500 worth of curb improvements in 2016 that the seller completed. This property is being sold as-is and all this home needs is you. Call to schedule your showing as this will not last long.
