Welcome to one floor living on a quiet street at 39 Seminary Avenue in the Muhlenberg School District! Open the door into an entry room filled with lots of natural light, and then proceed into the ample sized living area with hardwood flooring. The large eat-in kitchen with tile flooring features resurfaced, newly painted cabinets with newer stainless steel appliances and laundry. There is a middle room with new laminate flooring with an overflow from the living area to the kitchen; this room is an ideal dining, playroom or flex space. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom with built-in storage completes the level. If outdoor entertaining space is important to you, there is an amazing deck in the fenced in backyard. There is a shed and walk-up attic for extra storage. This lovely home definitely has a lot to offer and is located just minutes away from shopping and highway access, plus the seller is offering a one-year BASIC home warranty through First American with any offer at the listing price or higher!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
