Description

Charming Cape Cod in Pottstown's North End! This 3 Bedroom/1 Full Bath home boasts an expanded eat-in kitchen area that many nearby homes of the same age and style do not have. You are at first welcomed by the red front door, which denotes hospitality and good fortune. The large picture window in the living room allows natural light to flow in, showing off the original parquet-style hardwood floors. The kitchen has plenty of storage (27 handles) and counter space when including the butcher block style island that also has additional seating for two. The eating area has a built-in hutch and sliding doors out to the deck and backyard. There is an additional doorway off the kitchen that leads out to the side yard. Two bedrooms and the full bath round-out the first floor. The second floor is home to the large primary bedroom with closets and eave storage. Speaking of storage, there is plenty of space in the unfinished basement, which is also home to the laundry area and an ample sized workroom. The private fenced-in back yard is the perfect place to kick back and relax. There is the large, elevated deck off the kitchen, a paver patio, and a large shed for your outdoor gear. The newer mechanicals, which include a high-efficiency on-demand gas boiler (2023), will give you peace of mind, and the 3 additional stems on the gas manifold provide invaluable flexibility for future cooking (indoor and/or outdoor) and heating conversions. Off-street driveway parking for 2 cars, with additional on-street parking out front, or on the neighborhood side-streets right around the corner. While technically in the North End, the home is very centrally located with easy and quick access out to the shopping and restaurants along Rt 100, East High Street, and the heart of downtown. Additionally, there are easy and short walks to schools, the YMCA and the North End Swim Club. Savvy buyers will see that there is a lot on offer here, and at a very competitive price.
