It’s all about the STREAM and the LAND!!! Located right in the heart of Effort Pennsylvania and literally seconds to route 115, this Ranch Get-A-Way is tucked away from everything, yep moments to anything. A stream runs right through this parcel and adds personality that you just can’t find in this price range. Right off of a township road, this 2 bed 1 bath bungalow along with its oversized living room, just begs you to enjoy your summer get-a-ways here. There is a large utility shed on the property and numerous sitting areas to enjoy your stream. There have been some updates and renovations such as wood laminate flooring, molding work, painting, and more! Come and check this opportunity out! Home lowered due to the condition, ask an agent for specifics.
