Move-in ready and mechanically sound, this 1900 brick townhouse in Harrisburg's walkable Shipoke neighborhood has already had the big-ticket items handled - so you can skip the renovation stress and start building equity from day one. Recent updates include a new roof and gutters (2025), new HVAC (2022), new water heater (2023), sewer line replacement (2024), and a 3rd-floor mini-split (2022). Inside, 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths are spread across three finished levels, with a bonus 3rd-floor room ready to flex as a home office, studio, or rental-ready guest space. A gas fireplace anchors the main living area. With no HOA, a low-maintenance lot, and steps to City Island, the riverfront trail, and downtown dining, this is a smart, low-friction buy in one of the city's most walkable pockets. Schedule your showing today.
