    What's special

    Propane fireplaceOne-car attached garageNew stoveHandicap accessibleUpdated hall bathPlenty of cabinetryStainless appliances
    Welcome Home! This handicap accessible 3-bedroom, 2 bath rancher is set back on a large lot surrounded by nature. This property includes features such as new stainless-steel appliances and a heat Pump with mini-split units that circulate climate-controlled air in every room. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a single-family one-story ranch home on over one acre in Bensalem—for the price of a townhome. If you value privacy and a quieter quality of life, this is it. This hidden gem is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath rancher set on a spacious 1+ acre lot. Unlike most nearby homes that sit close to the street, this property is pushed well back from the road and sits alone, creating a unique sense of peace, seclusion, and breathing room that is hard to find in the area. Nearby new construction homes in the $750k range offer far less land and privacy. Inside, the home features a large living room and dining room with a propane fireplace—perfect for chilly nights. The kitchen opens to the living and dining areas and offers plenty of cabinetry, Corian countertops, stainless appliances, and a new stove. Down the hall you’ll find a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath, two additional good-sized bedrooms, and an updated hall bath. Around the corner from the living room is a convenient mudroom that exits to the backyard, with laundry facilities right there—all on one floor. A huge unfinished basement awaits your vision (man cave, second family room, playroom, or storage). Outside you’ll also find a one-car attached garage plus a large shed for extra storage. Standout features that set it apart: Over an acre of land for privacy, outdoor living, or future possibilities Underground electric and utilities (cleaner look and fewer overhead lines) Non-public sewer system (no monthly sewer bills) Solar panels to help offset electric costs (buyer must qualify for the remaining solar lease with IGS Solar) True privacy with the home set back from the road and sitting alone
    What the owner loves about this home
    Natural lighting! What I love most is the privacy and space you simply don’t find in most of Bensalem. The house sits alone and is pushed well back from the road, so it feels quiet and secluded even though you’re still in a convenient location. Having over an acre gives you room to breathe, enjoy the outdoors, or just have real separation from neighbors — something nearby new construction in the $750k range rarely offers.I also love the practical one-story layout. Everything is on one level (including the laundry in the mudroom), the kitchen opens nicely to the living and dining areas, and there’s a propane fireplace for those cooler evenings. The big unfinished basement is a huge plus — it’s a blank canvas for a man cave, playroom, home gym, or extra storage.Add in the solar panels to help with electric bills, the non-public sewer system (no monthly sewer bill), and the fact that you get a full single-family home with land for roughly the price of a townhome, and this place stands out. It has a solid foundation and real potential without the premium price of brand-new builds nearby.
