A 30 year/6%/79k mortgage, using last year's tax info breaks down to 473.64 for the loan and 126.25 for taxes making the monthly payment approximately 599.89 total (w/o pmi). The house was redone - top to bottom carpet/paint etc in 1997, since then, the bathroom, and kitchen have also been done again. The bedrooms and living room trim have been done since then also. Storm doors are new and the windows are replacement/storm windows. The living room walls were papered with 54" commercial vinyl and the stairway was painted to match with sandstone paint. The house is getting a professional once over to touch up any areas that need it in preparation for sale (allways used MAB or Sherwin Williams professional quality paint). Bright, modern, eat in kitchen with dishwasher, disposal and all appliances. Basement is professionally painted (ceiling, walls and floors) but not finished (washer and 1 yr old dryer remain). large living room, upstairs bedrooms have original woodwork and panel doors - giving this house character. Yard has gated porch, gated concrete patio and fenced in grass yard. Back gate leads to steps to North 13th Street. Our bills for a family of 6 (two adults/four children 8 and under) were: Trash -16.05/mo (paid quarterly 48.16) Cable 11.89/mo channels 2-25 + 60-80) Phone 80.00 for phone + dsl (2nd and 3rd floor have two line capablility from when we had dial-up) water/sewer bills ranged from $42-$48 in the last 6 months. Electric ranged from $39-$106 in the past year with an average of $59.00 for the year. The $106 was with the air conditioners running. We ran one on each floor which kept the house very comfortable. At least two of the air conditioners will most likely come with the house. Gas/ UGI monthly budget according to ugi would be 124.00 but we chose not to budget. The dryer is electric so gas bills would be very low in summer and highest in jan-feb. Neighborhood Description Joggers/ walkers / hikers paradise. The park is right out front, it's like having a huge yard without the yardwork. Getting downtown to work or the sovereign center is a breeze as is hopping on the bypass to the berkshire mall - 6 miles away.... its all close when you live here!! The sunsets over the city are spectacular!! When it rains and the sun is still shining, the rainbow is usually right out front on the top of the mountain.
