Perfect starter home or if you are downsizing, this cottage just needs a little TLC and it will shine! It is in a great location in the Muhlenberg school district. Besides the two bedrooms, there is a finished area on the first floor that you can use for a 3rd bedroom or for a dining room. There is an additional half bath in the laundry area of the basement along with a finished space for you to use! The one car attached garage is going to be a dream come winter. A large level yard with shade trees offers a sweet spot for play or BBQs. This is the home you are looking for!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
