Sitting on 5.5 mostly wooded acres with beautiful gardens & creeks throughout, one would never know this is just minutes to major routes, shops, restaurants and the Perkiomen Trail. Boasting over 3500 square feet, 7 fireplaces, and gorgeous hardwoods throughout this home is the perfect mix of history and modernization having been fully restored just 2 years ago! Enter the home through the double doors from the incredible wrap around covered front porch. The foyer/center hall gives access to most of the spaces on the main level. To the left you will enter the original 1800 portion of the home with a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. This is now used as a formal dining room as it connects to the kitchen that sits in the back of the home. The kitchen has views and access out to the wonderfully hardscaped backyard. Modernized with lots of soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, a 6 burner gas stove & electric oven, fireplace and an island for prep and entertaining. To the right of the center hall you will see two adjoining rooms that could both be used as family rooms or additional dining space. Both with wood burning fireplaces and beautiful built-ins. Finishing out the main level, through this space, is the side entrance (the most convenient from the driveway) and a great mudroom with a full bathroom. The back addition is a wonderful flex space! Could be an in-home office, additional bedroom or den. It has french doors to the back patio and is flooded with natural light! The 2nd level is almost a replica of the first floor divided into 4 bedroom quadrants, 2 with fireplaces. The centralized full hall bathroom is gorgeous and plenty big with cool built in features & large vanity. The 2nd full bathroom on this level sits off what is currently used as the primary bedroom using one room for sleeping and the 2nd bedroom as a dressing room. The home continues up to the 3rd level where you will find another flex space, again could be used as a bedroom or home office, as well as a half bathroom/laundry room. On this level there is also a walk-in storage room perfect for all storage needs. All of the views out of the back of the home are breathtaking looking over the 5+ acres of land and the wonderful patio/gardens that have been lovingly tended to, the perfect oasis for relaxing and entertaining. Enjoy this patio especially at night with all the beautiful lighting that has been installed. Have a dog? Dont worry! there is a fenced in area for them as well! Finally we can't forget about the detached 2 car garage sitting at the top of the driveway that could of course be used for parking or a workshop. This home is a must see! Just minutes to Phoenixville's ever growing downtown, Collegeville, trails, parks and so much more! Dont miss this opportunity! Welcome Home!

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
