The possibilities are endless with
this property. Features in this multi split-level Manheim Township home include:
- gorgeous hardwood floors throughout
- HUGE kitchen with sunny breakfast area, kitchen island, loads of built-ins, loads of cabinets, ceramic tile floor as well as tile countertops and backsplash. I could go on and on about the kitchen!

- 4th bedroom -- possible in-law quarters -- on the lower level
- family room with wood burning fireplace on the lower level
- loads of storage bonus rooms on the lower level
- walk-up attic stairs (no hard to reach pull down stairs!)
- detached OVERSIZED garage that every car buff will love!

- separate finished 2nd floor family room/office/den in the detached garage; with separate entrance, ideal for apartment/in-law or in-home business or office

The possibilities are endless! There are some cosmetics needed, such as removing some wallpaper, painting some walls and trim, and just some common household deferred maintenance all around. But, if these were all done the listing price would be much higher
This will be hitting the market for a quick sale for $287,000. A little bit of elbow grease and cosmetics will give you instant equity. You cannot find a home with this many features, especially this type of garage and great potential, in this location.

Now, as a disclosure, I would like to add that this home is my parents' home. The decision to downsize has taken them months -- perhaps even years. They have finally made the decision after my father had a health scarel last year and my mother just recently was diagnosed with neuropathy. The home is ideal for them, with few stairs, but the property is just too large for them to care for.
I blogged about what an emotional toll the thought of downsizing has been on not only them - but on me as well - in my post An Emotional Rollercoaster for all...
I'd love for anyone interested in this home to read that post, and realize what a special home this was, and still is. Now that my parents have made the decision to sell, I truly hope that the new prospective buyers can picture themselves here as well, having their Easter Egg hunts in the yard, waiting for the school bus to stop at the corner, and enjoying many healthy and happy years here while making their own lifetime memories. If YOU are that person, this home is waiting for you...
