This wonderful Shillington Craftsman can't be judged from the curb. Although, that alone will be enough to make you take a further look. We believe you'll love the style of this renovated & modernized home from the moment you walk in the front door. There are refinished original wood floors (LR & DR) and a fireplace in the front living room. A white kitchen with new appliances and solid surface counters. Don't overlook the large 1st floor laundry with a skylight! But the WOW area is the back Great Room with center skylight, a full bath, a granite fireplace and a stone WET BAR. This bar area could be easily converted into a kitchenette! And the entire room , with it's private entrance, could be a separate living area. .. an In-law or parents Suite. Lots of possibilities! There are 3 nice bedrooms with refinished original wood floors and a New Bathroom on the 2nd floor. Outside is a covered patio, fenced yard and a large 2 car detached garage that is accessed from a wide alley. There is a New energy efficient heating system and a new tankless hot water heater. This home in this neighborhood could be the one you've been looking for!
