Description

A well-maintained gem, in the award-winning Interboro school district will not disappoint. This home has a huge multitude of potential uses, as the second floor could be perfect for a craft or work studio, IN-LAW SUITE, or college student quarters. This home could also function perfectly for a SINGLE FAMILY who would like to have some extra income, with a studio rental upstairs. Investors will also appreciate the great numbers on this unique single-detached DUPLEX with DRIVEWAY PARKING. This corner lot is on a lovely, tree-lined street and ends in a quiet cul-de-sac, with minimal thoroughfare traffic. Home owners and/or tenants will enjoy the convenience of driveway parking for 4 vehicles. The first floor, featuring 3 bedrooms, is generous in size. Enter into the converted front porch area which has been craftily added to extend the living area. To the left of the home you will find the master bedroom, which is very large and comfortably fits a king-sized bed plus additional furniture. The hallway leads to the 2 other bedrooms, and the beautifully REMODELED BATHROOM. This gorgeous bathroom will make a statement with large, patterned, ceramic tile floor and modern updates. The quaint, eat-in kitchen features a large PANTRY space and charming FARMHOUSE SINK. Through the kitchen you will find additional, seasonal living space with an ENCLOSED BACK PORCH. Just imagine yourself sitting here, on summer evenings, enjoying a cold drink, and unwinding from the day. Through the kitchen you will also find the entrance to the FINISHED BASEMENT which is made up of several rooms and spaces. Laundry and utilities are also found in the basement. On the second floor, which has a private EXTERIOR entrance on the left side of the home, is a studio apartment. There is a living space with a small alcove which separates the room and could make a nice bedroom space. Featuring a decent sized closet and multiple windows, making it feel bright and homey. Another room features the eat-in kitchen with closet/pantry. There is also a bathroom with charming clawfoot tub and shower. A mere few minute walk to the lush green, and recently renovated, GLENOLDEN PARK to enjoy a brand new playground, walking trails, gazebo, and picnic benches. This home is a dream come true for any investor or traditional home owner looking for something different.

    "Nice maintained flat and hilled sidewalks. No trash laying around and lots of places to sniff / stop. You cannot let your dog off leash at the local parks. There is not a dog park in the neighborhood (yet). "

    "I’ve lived in Glenolden for 5 years. It’s a nice little town. A great mixture of all cultures but sadly it’s missing some cultural foods. I have great neighbors and the schools have really good programs for the kids to get into. My rating for this area is a solid 7, which is good."

    "Great area. Very quiet and the neighbors are also very polite and nice for the most part. I’ve lived here for over 3 years and it is one of the better places that I have stayed at. There are police also patrolling at night to ensure people are speeding or doing other egregious things."

    "Glenolden is a great place to live. Its peaceful, quiet and the perfect place for kids. It's very safe spacious and pet-friendly. If your looking for an area that is the opposite of a loud crazy city come to Glenolden. Like most neighborhoods Glenolden is not perfect. If you don't drive walking or transportation is difficult. Unlike the city it is spaced out so a pizza shop might me 7 blocks away. Unless you are willing to walk that far you won't be able to get it. Its transportation is ok. Not quick but not slow. There is very few bus stops or transportation. Overall I give Glenoleden 99.9 % almost perfect!"
