The rail commute is approximately a half hour. The present owner enlarged the Master Bedroom to encompass the second bedroom. He has the door that was removed and it can be put back in place if you want to return the bedrooms to their original configuration. There are hardwood floors and plaster walls. The basements concrete walls are 18 inches thick. This gives the home a very sturdy foundation. The hall bathroom is tiled. The kitchen has vinyl flooring and formica counter tops. It has good wood cabinets, dishwasher, microwave, self-cleaning oven, and an exit to a large screened porch. The basement was been water proofed and there is a working sump pump and a bath room. The electric service is 100-150 amps. with circuit breakers. Solar panels have been installed to help with utilities. The hot water heater is gas fired and was replaced on 4/4/2012. There is a wood burning stove in the Living Room and the windows were replaced in 1990. There are three (3) ceiling fans included in the sale. The architectural feature that sets this house apart is the attached garage. There are very few homes in Oreland Village that have a garage. The grounds are lovely. There are many flowering bulbs planted and the trees add much privacy. The back yard is fenced and level. It is a perfect place for pets. This home is perfect for quick occupancy.
