Property description
Open House cancelled, under contract as of 7/10. Charming is an understatement for this stone, Shillington single. Looks are deceiving. Nearly 2000 sq feet of living space. Main floor addition offers a primary bedroom suite with ensuite full bath along with a den/study/bar and access to one of the decks. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout most of the home. Deep window sills add character. 2nd floor offers two spacious bedrooms and an updated full bath. You are going to fall in love with the back yard. Fully fenced with a newer vinyl privacy fence. Flat yard. 2 composite decks. Simply gorgeous and perfect for entertaining. Small section of the basement is finished. This is not a drive-by. Must see.
