Welcome to 1971 Ridge Road! This charming Craftsman/bungalow style home, complete with covered front porch, is suitable for many purposes and buyers, as it is dual zoned for residential and commercial use. This represents an excellent investment opportunity as a residence, rental, and/or small business/professional offices. Taxes are quite reasonable. Why rent, when you can develop equity and real property assets instead? Located in Knauertown, a gateway to Lancaster County, there is a relaxed country feel, while still being near to commercial centers and major travel routes. Just a stone’s throw from Warwick County Park, French Creek State Park, Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site and Pennsylvania State Game Lands, there is plenty to do and explore for those loving nature and the great outdoors. Then just up the road, there is the quaint St. Peter’s Village with artisan shops, eateries, hiking, and beautiful scenery, as the French Creek wends its way through town. All of this, and located in the desirable Owen J. Roberts school district! French Creek Elementary, Middle School and High School within 2 miles. This community has so much to offer. The exterior of the home features a south facing covered porch and entryway for three season relaxation any time of the day. There is plenty of parking, back yard and a convenient basement walkout. Adjacent to 41 acres of open space owned by Chester County. For those with mobility concerns, this home features a plan suitable for first floor living! The recently updated first floor, with new flooring throughout, has a spacious living room, eat-in kitchen, with great storage and plenty of counter space, the main bedroom, full bath and second bedroom. Just off the kitchen is the pantry/laundry, lending convenience and ease to domestic affairs. Making your way upstairs, there are four rooms. At the top of the stairs there is a common family area with two adjoining bedrooms. One bedroom is stand alone, while the other is a suite with an adjoining south facing room with a bay window, perfect for use as a bright office, sitting room or walk-in closet. The combination of location, dual zoning, home features, price in this range, and reasonable taxes, makes this a hard-to-come-by opportunity that won’t last long. Being offered as is, it is ready for your finishing touches to make it your own! Schedule your showing today.
