A tremendous opportunity awaits with this 2 BR, 1.5 bath ranch from 1959. It needs some updating, but is certainly livable as is because it has been lovingly maintained by the original family! A good weekend or two worth of sweat equity and this gem from the Eisenhower Administration will shine again! Located in the Boro of Paxtang, it's tucked away so there's minimal traffic. Central Dauphin Schools for learning them kids a thing or two. The main floor has a Living/Dining room combo with a wood burning fireplace in LR area. The wooden mantel around the fireplace is pleasing to the eye. Wood floors are under the carpet. The eat-in kitchen is where Charlie Brown & the gang ate Thanksgiving dinner in the 70s, but w/ minimal effort it can easily be modernized. Or Go crazy and knock down a wall or two and really open up the living space. Two bedrooms of comparable size are off LR/DR combo. Both have wood flrs and nice closet space. The bathroom is 'period' but is in remarkably good condition and clean. Bright ceramic tile abounds. The basement is partially finished. The family room carpet is screaming for a steam cleaning it deserves. There is also another partially finished room which could be completed. A large cedar closet is in that room. The powder room shows its age, but again, is clean and functional. There's direct access to the rear yard, which offers many possibilities for reuse. The laundry/util room features a Burnham oil fired boiler (hot water baseboard). This also serves as the domestic hot water source. Central AC. Replacement double pane windows throughout.
