Property Description

This Muhlenberg Township home is in a great spot in the community. This 1-story home offers convenient one-floor living with 3 bedrooms and a finished basement providing additional living or storage space. The fenced yard is perfect for pets, gardening, or outdoor enjoyment. This property would make a great opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or anyone looking to customize a solid home to their taste. The kitchen and living room space is very nice and the finished basement just needs to be updated and will ad a nice amount of additional living space. With strong rental potential and easy one-floor living, it's well-suited as an owner-occupied or investment property in a convenient location. Upgrades include a fully fenced yard, tons of annual plantings, cute covered front porch, 2 storage sheds, and all appliances remain. There is hardwood flooring under the carpets per the owner. While the home is being sold as-is and does need some updating, the owner has maintained the major mechanical systems over the years. Updates include a new underground electric supply with new main from the street, lots of brand new plumbing, Pella replacement windows (most windows), and new gutters. This is a great house to consider.
