Description

Located on East Mountain, this raised ranch offers the perfect opportunity for someone looking for a home with the expensive updates already completed. The current owner handled the major improvements in 2025, including a new roof, upgraded furnace, new water heater, attic insulation, new vents, new gutters with leaf filters, and new seals on the windows and doors. The home also features central air for added comfort. With solid mechanicals and great bones, the next owner can focus on adding their own cosmetic touches over time. The main level features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a spacious living room, dining area, and kitchen. The finished lower level adds even more usable space with a large living area, kitchenette, and half bath, making it ideal for entertaining, guests, hobbies, or flexible everyday living. Outside, the backyard is flat, private, and ready to enjoy all summer long. A covered front porch creates a welcoming spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax at the end of the day. Some images were decluttered using AI features! This is just to help you visualize what the space could be! Take a tour today!

    "I live in upper south side. It’s really convenient because I’m right off of 81 and 5 min from the Scranton expressway. There’s a grocery store, a CVS, and a dunkin just a few blocks away. But if you go 5 blocks down you’re really in south side and it’s pretty sketchy. So I stay away. "
