Parking is no issue with a three-car driveway plus a one-car garage. Inside, find a basement bar area with built-in laundry, plus a versatile office/guest bed space. Township water and sewer, a stable electrical grid (no generator needed), high-speed internet, and excellent cell service round things out. Roads are cleared and maintained as a priority given proximity to the hospital, traffic is minimal, and it's a short walk downhill to Main Street in Honesdale's historic district. Yard debris/limb pickup is free and seasonal via the Township. This home has been meticulously maintained and updated: a new on-demand water heater and furnace combi unit, a WiFi-controlled A/C unit with dedicated 220V line for the 1st floor, a fully renovated bathroom, refinished hardwood floors throughout the first floor and staircase, a new wall oven and electric cooktop on newly-run dedicated circuits, new attic roof venting with fan capability, a high-quality insulated storm door and a sealcoated driveway. A rare blend of privacy, views, and in-town convenience -- schedule your showing today!
