Description

Rare opportunity to buy in Marsh Harbour at this price point, a sought-after Gold Star Community showcased on Marsh Creek Lake, within walking distance to Marsh Creek State Park with a boat ramp and coastline activities. The private community pool, tennis, multipurpose courts, and clubhouse with exercise facilities are only half a block away. This stunning home is worry-free with a newer $16,415 HVAC system (8/16/24), invoice and documentation in photos, plus the HOA maintains all the turf, including fertilizing & mowing (homeowners are responsible for shrubs & trees, plus sidewalk & driveway snow removal). This gently used home sports mostly original paint and carpet with the expected staining over the previous 30 years, priced accordingly. The attached $8,698.00 paint estimate includes Sherwin Williams paint, prep work, correction of drywall; nail pops; gaps; cracks; corner beads, and precision painting of virtually every surface inside the home, including the basement way, steps, railing, and garage. Lowe’s recently installed new Heirloom Tailored carpet and padding throughout a similar-sized home and the total cost was $2,660, so the interior can be like new for approx. $11,385, while the list price is $20,000 - $47,500 less than similar sales in sought-after Marsh Harbour, offering an instant boost in equity. The original paint and flooring are a plus because you can rest assured that fresh paint and carpet aren’t hiding previous abuse or repairs. The estate beneficiaries believe the source of the stains in the foyer ceiling has been repaired. The layout is a wonderful mix of an Open Floor Plan with a Traditional Center Hall, Formal DR, and Formal LR. The family room with a wood-burning fireplace (easily converted to the existing natural gas if desired) is open to the breakfast nook and kitchen for modern living, bright and cheery with a wall of glass overlooking one of the nicest settings in the neighborhood with no houses behind, and a French door to a patio within a natural privacy enclave. The kitchen is upgraded with stainless steel appliances, including a rangehood microwave. The matching stainless refrigerator is included. The formal dining room off the kitchen is perfect for holidays. The stunning two-story foyer with a center hall leads to the formal LR with tall windows and a hallway to the family room, sized for a server/dry bar and a doorway to the powder room. A wide upper hallway/landing overlooks the foyer and feels bright and cheery, this space accommodates a handy upper-level laundry with included washer & dryer. Double doors lead to the En-Suite with cathedral ceiling, triple windows overlook the backyard with no houses behind, a walkway flanked by a Walk-in and a second closet create separation between the bedroom and the luxurious En-Bath with soak tub, double vanity, and a separate nook with an oversized stall shower and commode, plus a handy wall of shelves tucked around the corner, out of sight. The 2nd bedroom is lavished with a full wall of closets, a 3rd bedroom and a full bath with tub/shower complete the upper level. The basement is unfinished, offering an opportunity to see the excellent unmolested condition, the walls are poured concrete, desired for their low risk of leaking or failure. The staining on the basement floor is believed to be from a previously failed water heater (Natural gas water heater & furnace). The basement has a perimeter drain leading to a crock for a sump pump, a sump pump has not been needed or installed. The circuit breaker panel is 200 Amp and has plenty of room for additional breakers/circuits. The two-car garage is complete with two power openers. Conveniently located just 2.9 miles from the PATP interchange. Highly acclaimed Downingtown SD with STEM academy and nearby Shamona Creek Elementary. Still time to be in your new home for Christmas!
