About 2230 Penn Ave

This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath detached brick home in Wilson School District, offers a combination of character, practical updates, and plenty of space for parking and storage. Inside, you’ll find fresh paint throughout, vinyl flooring and new carpeting. The kitchen features a farmhouse-style porcelain sink and opens to the rear covered porch with Trex decking and brand new metal railing—an ideal spot to relax or enjoy the backyard. Major improvements include replacement of the updated electrical in 2021, central air conditioning installed, natural gas boiler heat, and a gas water heater. Outside is where this property really stands apart: an asphalt driveway provides approximately five off-street parking spaces and leads to an oversized detached two-car garage. The garage is equipped with underground electric and its own subpanel, making it an excellent option for a workshop, hobby space, additional storage, or anyone who simply needs room for vehicles and equipment. The covered front porch was refinished in 2026, while the brick exterior and classic interior trim retain the home's original character. Conveniently located with quick access to major roads, shopping, dining, and everyday necessities, this home offers the space and utility that can be difficult to find at this price point in Wilson School District.
