OPEN HOUSE 11/18, 10am-1pm! Moments from PA-309, yet situated in a charming neighborhood, this home offers everything you are looking for inside and out. The brick exterior is welcoming, and a driveway paired with a one-car detached and a two-car attached garage leaves ample parking. A foyer leads into a sun-drenched living room with wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and large windows facing the rear yard. To the left, additional living space with dining room open to a well-appointed kitchen and access to main-level laundry room, which bridges home to garage. A family room completes this wing with propane fireplace flanked by built-in shelves and more rear-facing windows. A half-bath offers pristine original tile. Across the home, three lovely beds and an updated full bath with custom tile shower and glass surround. Upper level offers three additional beds and full bath with beautiful tile. Throughout you find thoughtfully maintained hardwoods with ceramic tile and carpeting offering an appropriate touch to each space. Partially finished basement offers further living space! The .81-acre lot offers lawns with mature trees, two sheds, and a spacious covered rear patio. Two fireplaces and dual forced air heat pump and oil hot water/heat offer warmth in cooler months while central AC comfort in the warmer times. Located in charming Hometown, this property sits in the Tamaqua School District where graduates qualify for the two-year LCCC scholarship program!
