You will want to see this immaculate move in ready home!!! Great home on a corner lot in the Fox Chase area with amazing curb appeal. As you move from the living room, that has a gas fireplace, to the open kitchen concept you will immediately feel at home. The owners added a great room with a fireplace in 2009 to provide more space and it is great for entertainment. With the newer windows there is ample light in the great room. Main floor has 2 full bedrooms with a full bathroom. One of these bedroom can easily be converted to be used as a home office or a den. Washer and dryer is also installed on the main floor for easier access. Neutral colors throughout the whole house with hardwood floors on the main floor. On the second floor you will find the master bedroom and an additional bedroom that could be converted into a walk in closet. There is also a full bathroom on the second floor. The owners had new carpets installed approximately 1 year ago on the second floor. There is ample parking in the driveway. The outside yard has been well kept throughout the years and the landscaping was professionally done a few years ago. You are close to the train station, schools and shopping. All you have to do is bring your furniture and your belongings to this move in ready home!!
