About This Home

This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a spacious, well-defined layout with distinct living spaces — ideal for anyone who appreciates separation between everyday living areas rather than one big open room. The updated kitchen is a standout, with sleek finishes and great counter space for cooking and gathering. The updated full bath brings the same fresh, modern touch throughout. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer plenty of room to spread out, while a private balcony gives you a quiet spot for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Step into the backyard and take in the sweeping view of Mt. Penn's tree-covered ridge rising above the rooftops — a peaceful, green backdrop you don't often get with a rowhome. It's the kind of view that makes morning coffee on the patio feel like a retreat. Tucked into a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort, function, and space to make lasting memories. Don't miss this one — schedule your showing today!
