Property Description
Welcome to Pennside! Every once in a while a home comes on the market that is special. The architecture, floor plan, location, or charm may make it a stand-out. This home has all of these going for it. The style of this home is unique, quaint, with great curb appeal. The floor plan boasts generous sized rooms, and all the rooms are useful. The home is situated on the outer rim of the baseball and soccer fields just off of Prospect Ave, giving you the field for a back neighbor. The charm?just do a drive by and see how adorable this home is. The fireplace is a piece of artwork with intricate Malsnee tile that are rare and in their original form. Enter the home through the lovely solid wood door to a vestibule that is a nice introduction to the feel of the home, this leads you to a large living room that hosts that stunning fireplace. Off to the side is another large room with a half bath (first floor), use this room as a retreat area, den, study, or office. The dining room with ample space has a built-in corner cabinet (remember it has charm!) The kitchen has lovely cherry cabinets, corian countertops, a double sink, and at one end there is a sunny little breakfast nook. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The walk up attic with whole house fan does a pretty terrific job of keeping it cooler in the summer and is completely floored for abundant storage. The unfinished basement has good ceiling height and is walk-out to the very green back yard. The previous owner spent plenty of time organic gardening and has many interesting berry bushes and perennials that will be sure to surprise you as you adventure through the next growing season. The mechanicals will bring you comfort. The hot water heater, furnace, and electrical panel (200 amp) are fairly recent additions. Hardwood floors are below the carpet on the first and second floors! The home does need some moderate TLC ? carpets, linoleum, wallpaper, exterior paint, landscape all need a spruce up ? but the end result will be spectacular. This home to be taken in "as is" condition.
