Welcome to your Home Sweet Country Home that is Ultra Convenient! * * * 10 Ten Things the Seller Loves About their Home * * * 1) Home backs up to preserved 7 acres of land owned by Pottsgrove township that includes trails and open area for picnicking, and offers ample views of wildlife (owls, deer, foxes, etc) - we'll miss the convenience and fun! 2) Master bedroom is extremely spacious and makes a king bed seem small compared to the size of the room and leaves plenty of space for storage, seating, and other bedroom necessities. 3) Wrap around deck/patio is the perfect spot for spring/summer/fall barbeques and fire pits and the large yard is perfect for yard games such as can jam, bocce, and corn hole - so many memories! 4) House is secluded from downtown Pottstown and the traffic, but is a close drive to all the up and coming breweries, restaurants, farmers markets, and beer gardens. 5) Office has been a lifesaver during the pandemic with working from home. Two people can work comfortably at separate desks and still have room for bookshelves, seating, etc. 6) Large kitchen offers plenty of space for entertaining/dining. 7) Waterproofed large basement is the perfect building block for a workshop/finished game room/bar/theater/etc. 8) Driveway offers plenty of parking for homeowners as well as any guest and if paved driveway fills up, the original gravel driveway is accessible on opposite side of property. 9) Neighbors are friendly and look out for each other; they even offer a helping hand during snowstorms with plowing. 10) House is close to multiple parks/ hiking trails outside of the preserved 7-acres including Althouse Arboretum, Schuylkill River Trail (Just Named Top Ten in the Country!), Pottstown Riverfront Park, Manatawny Park, Sunset Park/Trailhead, Sussell Park Trailhead, Sanatoga Park, and Memorial Park. Lots of Updates to Love including: New Dryer, Replaced downstairs bathroom tub overflow valve and reset toilet, New access panel installed (2021), Replaced deck railing and boards and sanded and stained deck and repainted chimney (2020), Replaced water softener and filter housing and inspected wood stove (2019), Removed oil furnace and installed New HVAC/Heat Pump, New Honeywell Touch Screen Thermostat, Waterproofed basement and installed new sump pump and backup battery, replaced patio retaining wall and added french drains throughout, New Oven (2018), New Washer and Water Heater (2017), and New Dishwasher and Fridge (2016).
