R-9234 Theres not too many homes on a lot like this. An acre and a half with lots of frontage on the Murderkill River. This is a nature lovers delight. The master bedroom and kitchen overlook the river to the sunny south east. What a view. Enter the home to an enclosed porch with 10ft ceiling. On to the kitchen or right to the massive living room. The living room has great hardwood floors and a beautiful brick and stone wood burning fireplace. The master bedroom and bathroom have been updated. Master bath has sunken whirlpool tub. There is an oversized 1 car garage and attached workshop area that could be converted to more living space. This is a one of a kind home at a fantastic price for this location. This is a Fannie Mae Homepath Property.
