    What's special

    Welcome to 521 Martin Avenue - a beautifully finished three bedroom cape in the coveted Schuylkill Valley School District! This great three bedroom home is the true definition of move-in ready! Just walk right in, unpack and relax! As you pull up to the home, you will love the modern look of the blue-gray siding matched with the newer roof installed in 2015. There is also an attached 1-car garage to keep your car out of the elements or simply to give you additional storage. As you enter into the mudroom door, take note of the door straight ahead that divides the garage to the living space - this is a large, separate laundry area that is also home to your utilities. To the left is a well-appointed dining room with tasteful modern colors and a functional coal stove that sits in the corner surrounded by a gorgeous stone accent wall. The dining room transitions right into the kitchen with plenty of counter space, a gas range, tiled flooring, and newer stainless steel appliances. Then there is the living room, where you will fall in love with the spacious neutral gray decor and recently added recess lighting! Down the hallway, you will find the full bathroom with new gray tile flooring, updated fixtures, and a built-in linen closet. There is also a bedroom on the first floor with upgraded vinyl flooring, a new modern light fixture, and French doors that lead you out to the new concrete patio and large fenced backyard. Upstairs you will be equally impressed by the two additional amply sized bedrooms with original hardwood floors and built-in storage. This home also comes complete with central air, economical gas heat, and a radon mitigation system for your peace of mind. And it is conveniently located near 183 for easy commuting. So schedule your tour today, you will not be disappointed!
