Welcome to 1072 Renton Road in Plum Borough School District—a home that’s bright, easy to live in, and built for real life.

Thoughtful updates, a flexible layout, and a backyard built for downtime come together so work, play, and everyday routines feel effortless. The main level invites you in with warm in-floor heating and a cozy wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living area. At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen features sleek quartz countertops, a 5-burner gas stove, and a breakfast bar for quick meals and extra prep.

There’s generous workspace for weeknights and weekend gatherings. Just off the kitchen, a large deck with an awning extends your living outdoors—perfect for morning coffee, easy grilling, or shaded summer dinners overlooking the backyard. A private main-floor office delivers the quiet focus you need without sacrificing convenience.

Upstairs, four restful bedrooms keep the day running smoothly. The primary suite offers a double vanity, a shower/tub combo, a walk-in closet, and a heated bidet with remote. The hall bath also features a heated bidet and a smart split design that separates the sink area from the tub/shower, so multiple people can get ready at once with privacy.

The finished lower level adds space you’ll actually use. A generous game room features an extended counter with cabinetry—ideal for snacks, crafts, game-day setup, or tidy storage—and sliding glass doors that open to the patio. A large laundry room and a third full bath make post-pool cleanup easy. The current gym area flexes beautifully: think yoga or pilates studio, playroom, hobby/craft workshop, music room, a second home office, etc.

Outside, summer practically lives here. A fully fenced, heated in-ground pool (3′ to 8′) turns ordinary afternoons into an event, and a small fish pond adds a quiet note off to the side. With .52 acres, there’s still lawn for play, pets, and garden beds. Storage is a standout with a 19′ × 19′ area under the garage, ready for gear, décor, and hobbies.
