Property details
About 2638 Fairview Ave
This home has the potential to be very very cute. It has a screened rear patio, small back yard and backs to wooded Mount Penn. This is your playground if indeed you are a fan of hiking and exploring! The house is in need of updating and being sold in "As-Is" condition. The furnace and central air are fairly new & working well. The roof does not leak and has not leaked in the 15 years this seller has lived there. There is original hardwood flooring on the entire 1st & 2nd floors with the exception of the kitchen & baths. The 2nd floor master bedroom is large and adjoins the full bathroom. A really nice feature in this home is 2 full baths, 1st & 2nd floors, which is nearly impossible to find in homes this size. It's time for someone to take this property to it's Full Potential!
