Property Description
This charming and well-maintained brick semi-detached Shillington home has been updated with numerous recent improvements. A cozy front porch facing a quiet, but centrally located street has plenty of room for porch furniture, potted plants in the summer, and seasonal decorations for the approaching fall/Halloween and holiday time.
The freshly painted interior begins with a spacious living room with new laminate flooring. This area is large enough to accommodate not just a couch, love seat, and entertainment cabinet, but a play area, home office, or small dining table, as well. The eat-in kitchen and adjoining mud room/laundry room offers generous storage space for additional shelving, cabinets, pet bowls and food storage. A newer range and hood (2021) make meal prep easier while resurfaced countertops and new hardware make the experience even more enjoyable. New ceiling fans have been installed in both the living room and the kitchen.
Upstairs, a generously sized primary bedroom allows for a queen- or king-sized bed, sitting area, dressers, or whatever else you need close at hand. A new ceiling fan will help you sleep comfortably.
Two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom complete the second floor. The bathroom has also recently received attention with new flooring, a new toilet, and a new bathtub wall surround.
Even the unfinished basement was not overlooked as it was epoxied in 2021 and the crawlspace was Drylok'ed for additional piece of mind for storing items in this rather expansive lower level.
The attic is perfect for additional storage or could even be finished off for additional living area, ideal for a small office, or a hobby or play room.
The backyard is accessible from both the side of the home or directly from the home, through the mudroom/laundry room off the kitchen. It is extensive enough, yet manageable, and is ideal for a small vegetable or flower garden, with some play/exercise space remaining for your children and/or dogs, along with an area dedicated to a grill and patio furniture. While parking is typically available on the street, the home has a 2-car detached garage in the back of the yard, perfect for securing your vehicle, along with items such as your gardening supplies and lawn mower.
Exterior improvements include a new front and back door (2023), all new Energy Star windows (which lower household energy bills by an average of up to 13%) with a transferable warranty (2023), and an added outside water tap (2023). Seller is offering a 1 year home warranty.
