This charming cottage, clad in vinyl siding, set back from the street and situated on an acre of wooded land in East Penn schools is perfect for an investor or first time home buyer. The hardwood floors are well-maintained. The roof was replaced in 2003. The water heater was replaced in 1998. The two bedrooms are ideal for a young family, with a second bathroom in the very clean basement, ready for your finishing touches. A spacious 2-car garage will protect your vehicle from the elements. A gorgeous deck in the front of the house is ideal for summertime entertaining. The newly remodeled kitchen can also hold a small table for extra holiday seating. The partially cleared lot extends almost 2/3 of an acre for near-total privacy. This property is very convenient to shopping, hospitals and schools. The washer/dryer and refrigerator will remain with the sale of the house. A very motivated seller will consider all acceptable offers and can go to settlement immediately.
