Property Description
Welcome to the sought-after Cornwells Manor section of Bensalem, where this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home proves that not all estate properties are created equal. Thoughtfully cared for over the years, this home offers a rare combination of character, functionality, and future potential. The kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and ample workspace. While hardwood flooring lies beneath much of the existing carpeting, waiting to be uncovered. The full basement is partially finished and provides an additional living area, storage space, a potential workshop. It also includes a functioning wet bar with unmistakable 1960s "if these walls could talk", charm. Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds create a welcoming setting with two exterior entrances to the home and an oversized detached garage (ideal for hobbyists, mechanics, or additional workspace) equipped with electric service, an interior hose connection, and a floor drain. A whole-house generator adds peace of mind year-round. Located just moments from the Delaware River while remaining outside the flood zone, this property is a dynamite find. A unique opportunity to own a well-cared-for home with room to grow in one of Bensalem's most desirable riverfront-adjacent neighborhoods.
