Description
Welcome to beautiful Jim Thorpe! This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath Ranch home sits a short distance to all that Jim Thorpe has to offer. Upon arriving at the home you're greeted by a wrap-around driveway, 2-car garage, and a small deck perfect for a morning cup of coffee. Enter into a large living space, perfect for a secondary living room, or 3-seasons room. A wood-burning fireplace adorns the main living room, which gives way to a spacious, eat-in kitchen with beautiful hardwood floors and tons of cabinet and counter space. There are 3 bedrooms, highlighted by the master bedroom with it's own half bath. In addition to the front 'sunroom' there is an additional sunroom around the back of the home, with tons of windows for natural light and fresh air. The large, double garage leaves room for additional living space conversion, or a spot to keep your cars/storage. The shed outback provides for extra storage, and the backyard is an excellent space for hosting BBQ's or letting the dog run. With a little modernizing you could make this into your dream home! SELLER HAS NEVER LIVED IN THE PROPERTY AND HAS NO KNOWLEDGE AS TO THE AGE OF OR CONDITION OF THE MECHANICALS.
