This delightful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath row home is tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street in popular Manayunk. This home does include a private driveway for parking, a feature that is hard to find in this neighborhood! Well maintained with wonderful updates throughout including a new roof in November, replacement windows, custom wood blinds, a fresh coat of paint throughout the main level, gleaming hardwood flooring added and new carpeting on the second level (hallway, stairs and master). Step inside to the spacious living room complete with hardwood floors, neutral paint and a ceiling fan. The bay window was added a few years ago, which allows natural light to flood the room. The powder room and laundry room are nicely tucked away on the main floor for easy access. The powder room was completely updated with newer pedestal sink, medicine cabinet, ceramic tile flooring and modern light fixture. The dining nook includes a second ceiling fan and oversized storage closet (ideal to use as a pantry). The kitchen receives great sunlight and comes complete with tile backsplash, painted brick accents and appliances include built-in dishwasher, electric cook-top stove and refrigerator. Our favorite part of the home? The private backyard with a nice view! The backyard includes a designated gardening area, perfect for those looking to show off their green thumb! Slate pavers currently hold an outdoor dining table, and there is still plenty of room for additional patio furniture and grill. After a long day, retire to the master suite. A huge closet includes custom organization to fully maximize your clothing storage. The private master bath includes a walk-in shower. Both spare bedrooms include roomy closets and ceiling fans, and share the hallway full bathroom (includes ceramic tile floors, newer vanity and a tub). If being able to walk to local parks, restaurants, nightlife and shopping is a must have, get ready to check it off your list! Only a 10 minute walk to all that Main Street Manayunk has to offer! Public transportation, including both the bus and train are both within walking distance, and access to 76 is close by. Why wait? Give us a call today to schedule your private tour!
