Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from February 01, 2024
This beautiful spacious twin has everything you need to move right in and make it your own. First up is the entrance to a bright and airy sunporch where you can enjoy your morning coffee and soak up the sun. From there, enter the open floor plan with high ceilings and plenty of room for everyone to spread out, even when company arrives. Much of this home's character stems from 1940's construction details such as hardwood floors with original inlay design typical of the period, four panel doors with original wood, glass door knobs, and decorative leaded glass windows. Conveniently located on the first floor, you'll also find a powder room for guests. A delineated dining area with room for a large table leads into the modern kitchen with updated appliances and finishes, and features a front and back staircase for easy access to the second floor. The 2nd floor contains 3 amply sized bedrooms and an additional main bathroom. The full length basement has a concrete utility sink, washer, dryer, deep freezer and work bench. Basement Bilco doors make moving bulky items a breeze, and a top of the line Mitsubishi ductless heat exchange was installed in 2020 to provide quiet and consistent air-conditioning throughout the house, and can also be used as a backup heat source. The newly refurbished two car garage with electric door opener provides plenty of space for two vehicles or one vehicle and ample storage. Are you ready for your backyard oasis? The front yard is planted with two nanking cherry bushes, two raspberry bushes, one Asian pear tree and a service berry bush. The backyard contains 3 pear trees , Pawpaw trees, as well as elderberry , current, yosta berry, lilac and smoke bushes. Spring bulbs include tulips, daffodils, fire spray tulips and lilies. Finally , just a quick block away, you'll find easy access to the entire city in a 15 minute commute , as well as an easy, stress-free ride to Philadelphia International airport via the broad street line and regional rail at The Fern Rock Transportation Center. This home really is a hidden gem of tranquility with all the conveniences the city has to offer at your feet.
