On a perfect spot at the top of Shillington Borough, this enchanting craft style cape will lure you with the restful feeling of an ivy-covered cottage. An old and stately magnolia tree beckons you in, and the sun kisses three sides of the home throughout the day. A side patio has a brick outdoor grill, and the home has a sprawling, private rear yard, at the end of which the view includes the distant Blue Hills. The sweeping backyard is lush with a horticultural blend of plants for comfort and beauty which beguile you, even while nearby pines break the northwest winds - all before you even step inside. Once you do, old and new combine to add to the mystique. The kitchen has large windows, ceiling recessed spot lighting, original planked flooring, newer stainless steel appliances, a glass-top stove, extraordinary pull-out cabinets, high shelving and Corian countertops. A brick living room fireplace and a multi-windowed sun room on the first floor add to the "wow" factor. The first level master bedroom is currently used as an office whose main window looks out on the magnolia tree. There are two private bedrooms on the second floor and full baths on both floors for convenience and practicality. A bonus room located at the rear of the garage might make the perfect get-away, with sliders to a rear deck to relax. Seller is offering a one-year AHS home warranty! The property is located minutes from Routes 222 and 422 and is close to the Gov Mifflin campus and Shillington Park. The outside will amaze you, the inside will transport you, and you will know that this special home is the one for you!
