About 4251 Boone St

Welcome to this cozy two-bedroom cutie on a quiet dead-end street perched on the bluffs overlooking the entire Schuylkill River Valley. This property, built before 1895, was purchased as a shell by the present owner and completely rebuilt in the early 1970's. As you enter the house to your left you will find a coat closet and beyond is the Galley Kitchen with dishwasher (never used so disconnected). Beyond you’ll find the open living room/dining room with a floating staircase along the right wall to the 2nd floor. At the back of the house the entire rear wall is glass with a slider to the quaint patio with a garden boarder partially covered by the upper story bathroom extension. There is access to the front of the house for trash through a gate and down the shared alley. At the top of the stairs is the bathroom with tub/shower surrounded with white tile, the toilet and sink are to either side behind the shower wall. In addition on this level, you will find the Main BR at the front of the house with an entire wall of a continuous closet with 3 double-doors for easy access. The real bonus here is a large triple window flooding the room with light. In the winter, when the trees have lost their leaves, you can see the entire river valley. There is a small additional bedroom adjacent to the main BR with a window to the rear of the house, a clever louvered panel has been installed to provide airflow. Down the stairs is a finished basement with a brick paved floor, a built-in office desk beneath the floating steps and a spectator bench along one wall, perfect for your Darts Game. Along the other wall, hidden behind the painted panel you’ll find the washer, the dryer as well as the furnace and hot water heater. Just slide the doors at either end for access. This is an adorable property waiting for you make it sparkle. Make an appointment today to snatch-up this gem and give it a polish.
