221 Seneca Drive, New KensingtonNew Kensington, PA 15068Price: $125,000

Tucked into a quiet, established neighborhood in the Valley View plan, this classic Cape Cod has been a fixture on Seneca Drive since 1940; and it's ready for its next chapter, whether that's as your first home or your next smart investment. Solid construction, a manageable footprint, and a straightforward layout make this property equally appealing to someone putting down roots and to someone building a rental portfolio. Step inside to a generously sized living room, the kind of space that's hard to find in homes of this era; offering plenty of room to relax, entertain, or for a landlord, a real selling point when marketing the unit to future tenants. The adjoining dining room and eat-in kitchen create an easy, functional flow for everyday living, while a cozy den on the main level adds flexible space for a home office, playroom, or reading nook; flexibility that works just as well for an owner-occupant as it does for a renter. This charmer offers convenient access to Freeport Road, Leechburg Road, and the everyday amenities of New Kensington, including shopping, dining, and quick routes into the Allegheny Valley and beyond.
