Come see this well-renovated 3BR/1.5 bath home on a nice block in Kingsessing, located directly across from Independence Charter School and just 5 blocks from the Kingsessing Recreation Center. Up the concrete steps, you'll enter through a newly painted facade in contemporary black and gray. Step into a west-facing sunroom featuring lots of natural light coming through four windows and flowing into the living room through a multi-pane door and sidelights. White ash plank flooring begins in the sunroom and runs throughout the home. Stepping into the living room you will find an open floor plan where the living area flows through the dining area and into the kitchen, keeping with today's lifestyle. There is a coat closet opposite the staircase and a half bath between the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is a highlight of this home and features white, shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and a stainless steel sink and appliance package. Off the kitchen is a freshly paved concrete patio with room for grilling, dining, plantings, and lounging. Downstairs you will find a large, dry basement with laundry hookups and a new heating and cooling system. The ceiling height is high enough to add more square footage to this home by finishing off the basement to create a play space or media room. Back up on the first floor, you will take the clear finished pine staircase up to 2nd floor where you will find 3 well-sized bedrooms, including a large primary bedroom in the front of the house with a bank of 3 west-facing windows. Directly adjacent is a beautifully finished full bath with a tiled tub/shower surround, a vanity with cabinet storage, a modern oval mirror, and a medicine cabinet. Both the middle and rear bedrooms are optimally sized for children, home offices, and guests. This beautifully renovated home is being offered at this very reasonable price through a special PHA program designed to create quality affordable housing. There are income limits for prospective buyers (single buyer income limit is up to $62,500 progressing up to a family of 4 limit of $89,250). Reach out for more information on income limits as well as the Restrictive Covenant that helps keep affordable housing affordable. It's a great program to be part of if you qualify.
