Description

Welcome to 688 Sylvan Drive in Stowe! Why rent when you can own? This house sits on a quiet street in West Pottsgrove. Drive right up and park in your paved driveway, that fits about 3 cars, or park on the street if you prefer, as there is plenty of parking available.

Straight ahead is your dining room with the kitchen to the right. You can also access your kitchen by the separate entrance from the driveway. This makes bringing groceries into the house convenient. To the left down the hallway are your living quarters featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, each with ample closet space, and a full hall bath. Primary bedroom has a .5 bath. A set of stairs takes you to the full attic, which can be used for storage. The stairs to the partially finished basement are located near the kitchen by the driveway entrance. The walkout basement offers extra space to entertain guests with a wet bar and .5 bath. Take the party outside through the basement sliders to your covered screen porch.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
