What's special
Single owner, well maintained brick Cape Cod home in the Willingham Park subdivision of Muhlenberg Township. This home has been loved and cared for by the same family since 1958! Perfect for a starter home or a downsize home. Two beautiful pear trees in the front yard frame the entry and shrubbery and flowers extend all of the way around the home. The living room has a lovely 4 panel replacement bay window and neutral walls and carpet. The kitchen is the show stopper and was remodeled in 2015 by Rich Hill (cabinetry) and Heffleger for the granite counter tops. White cabinetry with crown molding, corner glass door detail, slide-in electric range with built-in microwave, dishwasher, great counter top space, double sink with garbage disposal, tile backsplash and all neutral shades adorn the floor and wall coverings. There are two bedrooms on the main level and a hall bath with vintage pink tile and a tub/shower combination with Corian walls for easy cleaning. Hardwood flooring is covered by freshly shampooed carpet in the living room and bedroom spaces. On the upper level is a 3rd bedroom that could also double as flex space for a playroom, office, etc. Plenty of "knee-wall" storage on this level and a great space for one or more kids to share a bedroom. The lower level is an unfinished basement with washer and dryer that will remain as well as a workshop area. There is currently a functional toilet and shower on this level so creating a 2nd full bathroom is an option. There is a gas furnace, gas water heater and 100 amp electric panel. The screened in patio measures 27x15 and is fantastic space for entertaining with access to the kitchen and a front and rear entry door. The backyard is level and there is a shed for garden tools. Laurel Run pool is 2 blocks away and the location of this home is conveniently close to everything! Gas heat, central air, 2019 roof replacement and well-maintained mechanicals makes this an affordable home to own! Showings start July 6, 2023 so please reach out to pre-schedule your showing before this beauty is gone!
