Home Ownership starts in Historic Billingsport! Move fast to secure a well maintained and surprisingly upgraded 3 bedroom home in one of South Jersey's fastest appreciating markets! Billingsport is part of the Borough of Paulsboro and it's been a haven for buyers seeking quality single family homes at modest prices. With great tri-state accessibility (about 30 minutes to Center City Philadelphia or Wilmington, DE and a little over an hour to Atlantic City) everyday can be an adventure and you'll be sure to enjoy this desirable location. Upon arrival, 520 Mantua Ave makes a wonderful first impression with attractive exterior features and a well maintained appearance. Entering through the front door places you in the foyer that leads to the main living room. The main living room is spacious and can accommodate larger furniture but either way you'll enjoy the cozy feel this room offers (hardwood floors exist under the carpet). From the living room you'll find a second landing that gives access to the two main floor bedrooms, the upgraded full bathroom, and an eat-in kitchen. All of these spaces show well and are free from any known defects that would affect normal use. Also of note, Bedroom #2 has been modified as a laundry room but those appliances could be relocated back to the basement if desired. Upstairs you'll find the third bedroom that offers plenty of bonus storage in various spots. Off of the kitchen there's a side exit as well as access to the full basement. With ceilings approximately 7ft high, the basement is a candidate for being finished as additional living space but there's nothing in the current configuration that would stop you from utilizing this space right now for bonus living area, storage, a home gym, or any other use that fits your needs. Heading out to the backyard, you'll be delighted to find a private and fully fenced in space that will exceed your expectations for this price range. The vinyl fence was professionally installed and elevates this area in the best way possible. Mature landscaping can be found throughout the backyard and a detached garage is the last major feature of importance. This garage is a coveted feature and can be upgraded to become the workshop you've always dreamed of having. Lastly, major systems are one of the areas where this home is strongest. Prior to the solar panels being added about 5 years ago, a new roof was installed. The solar panels are paid in full and the benefits associated with their ownership (very low electric bills and SREC credits) will be transferred to the next owner at no additional cost. The heater and air conditioner are less than 3 years old and this entire home benefits from old fashioned pride of ownership. In these times of rising rents and general uncertainty, you're encouraged to take control of one piece of your life and secure a home that will serve you well in the coming years.
