Property description
Welcome to 137 E Elm St — a truly charming and move-in ready home in the heart of Shillington! This well-maintained 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath property offers spacious living, thoughtful upgrades, and fantastic bonus spaces throughout. Step inside to find a warm and welcoming layout with generously sized rooms and plenty of natural light. The large kitchen is a standout — featuring stainless steel appliances (all included!), great counter space, and a wonderful island with seating for three, making it the perfect spot for gatherings. Upstairs, the bedrooms are all nicely sized, and the primary bedroom enjoys access to a cozy sunroom overlooking the fully fenced backyard — ideal for morning coffee, a reading nook, or simply relaxing in privacy. A walk-up attic offers tons of storage and potential to finish if you’d like even more living space. The lower level features a finished rec room, giving you flexibility for a playroom, home office, man cave, gym, or even a possible 4th bedroom. Recent big-ticket upgrades include a new roof in 2024 and a new hot water heater in 2023, providing peace of mind for years to come. Outside, enjoy the fenced backyard, a rear parking space, and a small shed for storage — great for outdoor living and convenience. All of this located in the desirable Governor Mifflin School District, close to parks, shopping, dining, and major routes! This is one you won’t want to miss — schedule your private tour today!
