NO HOA FEES! This woodland oasis, nestled on a picturesque acre-lot teeming with colorful perennials, is also just a quick walk to Whitford train station. Its historic homestead was built circa 1880 by the Pennsylvania railroad for its workers who constructed the track, and it is a rare treasure for anyone who appreciates period homes and all of the nostalgic charm they offer. From the rocking chair porch to the knotty-pine paneling to the cozy nooks, this twin home emanates warmth and character, and with all of its beautiful flower gardens feels just like a country cottage. Still, you get the best of both worlds thanks to a spacious kitchen addition and adjoining sunny Florida room. The Florida room offers a newer hot tub where you can relax and enjoy a vista from floor-to-ceiling tinted windows that showcase all of the lovely flowers and trees on this property and the many birds and butterflies they attract. Just outside your kitchen window is a patio where you can take in views of the birds year-round. Or gather your family and friends on the free-standing deck with fireplace that's tucked perfectly into the hill above. The upstairs of this home has two bedrooms and a large full bath, and you won't believe all of the storage and closet space that's available. There's even more storage in the basement, which is remarkably clean and bright, plus a good-sized detached garage with a potting shed in the back, ideal puttering space for anyone who loves to garden. Rest easy knowing that this home has mostly newer systems, including: a new furnace in 2015, hot water heater (2013), roof (2013, with fully transferable warranty), electric (2013), chimney liner (2011, with transferable warranty ), kitchen stove top, propane heater (non-vented) for Florida room (2013) and hot tub (2016). The front porch, deck, and exterior have all been freshly painted and the gutters cleaned. And, although this home is so private and surrounded by natural beauty, it's conveniently located right near Rt. 30 and many shops and restaurants. This twin home offers a great alternative to a townhouse, with privacy, a detached garage and no HOA fees!
