Character abounds in this incredibly spacious, updated and well-maintained Federal-style brick colonial situated on over 3.5 acres in East Coventry township. The first floor boasts a large, bright, all-seasons family room with vaulted ceiling, tiled flooring and a full bath with skylight; a recently remodeled kitchen with custom black granite countertops, tiled back splash, soft-close cabinets and stainless appliances; a lovely dining room with bay window; a gorgeous living room with brick fireplace and built-ins; and a full length enclosed sunroom/porch with leaded glass doors. The original hardwood floors in the dining and living room have been refinished and brought back to life, and all trim and detailing throughout is unpainted! The second floor has new hardwood flooring throughout, a master bedroom with beautiful built-ins and a huge hall closet, as well as 2 other spacious rooms and a full hall bath. Outside you'll find an over-sized 2 car garage with storage shed and workspace, with a large in-law suite/apartment situated above - perfect for an income producing opportunity (current owners had it rented for $850/month) or a quiet office area. Over a mile of trails have been cut through the 3.5 acres giving you a taste of your own private park setting. Take a dip in your large in-ground pool (recently re-plastered and tiled), or relax under the cabana in your hot tub! This incredible property has all of the charm you would expect from an early 1900's home coupled with all of today's modern conveniences, so don't miss out on your opportunity to own this private oasis!
