Welcome to this charming 1920s bungalow nestled in North Coventry Township in Owen J Roberts School District. Relax and enjoy hot summer nights with an ice-cold glass of lemonade on your large covered front porch. Inside you are immediately greeted by beautiful woodworking and original moldings which boast character and craftsmanship and add a touch of elegance and warmth throughout. The large living room with newer vinyl flooring flows into a spacious dining room flanked by two beautiful, wooden craftsman-style columns. Just off the dining room is the kitchen with real-wood cabinetry and a dishwasher that opens to a generously-sized, sunlit all-seasons porch with updated windows and a side entrance. The first floor houses two cozy bedrooms that share a hall bath with a walk-in shower and built-in cabinetry. Upstairs you’ll find a spacious third bedroom and a nicely insulated walk-through space, ready for your finishing touches as a home office, hobby room, or play area for the little ones, plus plenty of dormer storage that runs along both sides of the home. Take note of the original solid wood paneled doors, central air, replacement and/or storm windows, and original mouldings throughout. A full basement leads outside to the one-car garage, two sheds, an above-ground pool, and a large well-maintained yard, offering plenty of space for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply enjoying the fresh air. Enjoy the convenience of nearby amenities, including shops, amazing restaurants, parks, and schools while also experiencing the essence of small-town living. The property presents an exciting opportunity to make this house truly your own. Whether you are a first-time buyer with big dreams for a home with vintage charm and endless potential, or an investor seeking a reasonably-priced rental property, this home is a fantastic find!
