The home also features a full unfinished basement—offering additional storage or potential for expansion. The real highlight of this property is the oversized detached garage—an ideal space for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone looking for a spacious work area. The large driveway accommodates plenty of cars, providing easy access for guests or projects. The location is where this home truly shines. Surrounded by the stunning White Clay Creek State Park, you’ll enjoy peace and privacy with no neighbors and no HOA. Right across the street, you’ll find a pond perfect for fishing, bike trails, and land for picnicking. Down the road, Paper Mill Park offers even more recreational activities, including basketball, tennis, baseball, and soccer fields. If you love the outdoors, this is your dream location. Plus, the home offers some of the best sunrise views you can imagine! This property is tenant-occupied, so please be aware of the 24-hour notice requirement for showings.
