520 Paterno Dr, Harleysville, PA 19438

Tucked away in the heart of Harleysville in a quiet, delightfully sized, tree-lined neighborhood with no through traffic, is Bella Vista, a small thirty-two home community built by Sal Lapio (1992 -1993), which has the additional benefit of No HOA expenses. Charming, welcoming, conveniently located, and move-ready, your home sits back nicely, shaded and surrounded by mature trees and a lush lawn. Having checked off your wishes for a desirable location, neighborhood, and yard, let's step into the home's center hall entrance with hardwood floor and vaulted ceiling, and tour this well-maintained and cared for home where you will notice lots of recent improvements: an updated kitchen (2020), high efficiency gas furnace and central air (2019), 30-year roof (2016), gas water heater (2018), new lighting fixtures, fresh paint, carpeting and flooring. The first floor offers a spacious and open floor plan across the back of the home, with the family room offering a brick hearth wood-burning fireplace, additional flexible square footage/space behind a half wall, a large picture window with deep windowsill for lots of natural light and a view of your yard. The recently updated kitchen will please you with its new granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (Bosch dishwasher), subway tile backsplash, new sink and light fixtures. Just off the kitchen and breakfast area, is a half bathroom, pantry closet and a laundry room with a closet and two doors. One door for outside access, while the other provides inside access to the oversized two car garage, which was made 4 feet wider when originally built, and offers a valuable 10' x 13' work/storage area space. Completing the first floor are two more rooms, a formal dining room and a living room (currently one of the home's two offices). Upstairs, the large owner's suite features the second office space (or sitting/reading/TV area), a large walk-in closet with a flexible custom shelving system, and a large and bright bathroom with jetted tub and stall shower. Three more very nicely sized bedrooms and a hall bathroom complete the second floor. A great finished basement with new luxury vinyl plank flooring adds a lot more living space and a lot more possibilities, additionally not pictured, is a large storage area making up the remainder of the basement. Let's head outside and discover what a great place this is for entertaining. To begin with there is plenty of parking in the long and wide driveway, a lovely front porch to decorate seasonally, a large deck for cookouts, a designed fire pit area or second dining/seating area, and a vegetable garden. The owners have thoughtfully provided a comprehensive list highlighting all the improvements and maintenance they have done during their ownership as the home's original owners. Please request this valuable information for yourself from either the listing agent or your buyer's agent. Many websites incorrectly state this home is assigned to Oak Ridge Elementary School. The home is actually assigned to Salford Hills Elementary School, and Indian Valley Middle School. This was verified with the school district on 6/21/2021, and the buyer is solely responsible to re-verify this themselves for accuracy and any potential future changes in school assignments. With inventory so low, this is one of the GOOD ONES, don't miss this opportunity! Showings begin Friday, June 25th (scheduling is up and running with appointments available on the hour and half hour, so set up your appointment today). 2021-09-17
