Not only is the home move-in ready with beautiful upgrades throughout, but the location could not be more desirable. Ridge Avenue and Main Street Manayunk are both within walking distance of your new home. You will experience the Ridge Avenue destination that includes new restaurants, shops, Gorgas Park, local events and so much more. Then a stones through away is Manayunk which is one of Philadelphia’s landmark gems that borders the Schuylkill River. The heart and soul of the community is Main Street with many restaurants, boutiques, bars, and galleries… a bustling trendy neighborhood with a small-town vibe! Did I mention you are within walking distance to both! Now lets talk about the amazing features of your new home. First is an attached garage, an additional two-car driveway, plus a large backyard… all three are just priceless amenities for a city location! The covered front porch is just one of the ways to enter your home. You are greeted as you open the front door with beautiful, refinished hardwood floors that run the length of the living and dining rooms. Both rooms are pleasantly sized and can accommodate large gatherings. The kitchen has been totally renovated with gorgeous wood cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. The outside patio and backyard are accessed from the original 1970s kitchen door. The second floor features a renovated hall bath (which was gutted down to the studs and rebuilt), large primary bedroom with two double closets and a third single closet for plenty of storage, plus two additional bedrooms of which one could be used as an office. A very special note - there are original hardwood floors under the carpets. As we move to the lower level you will find the laundry area with laundry sink, utility area, walk-out access to the garage that has a 13x8 covered area. Also on this level is the 2010 constructed family room and powder room. As this level has its own entrance, this space could be used as an additional bedroom, office space or guest area! There is a long list of improvements: 2015 HVAC including ductwork, 2011 rubber roof coating, newer dishwasher, stove and refrigerator, fence, new doors and storm doors, newer windows, brand new hot water heater (May 2023) and new washer & dryer (2021). And wait there are more features of your home’s fabulous location - Bike or hike the Canal Towpath or if you are an avid cyclist and want a true challenge – conquer The Manayunk Wall! Enjoy many festivals, restaurant week, kayaking on the Schuylkill River, libraries and so much more. Home is in close proximity of Fairmont Park, Forbidden Drive, Valley Green Inn, Center City attractions and so much more. Public transportation into the city includes the Septa bus routes 9, 27, 35 and 61 as well as the Manayunk/Norristown Regional Rail Line. Easy access to Philadelphia, Delaware and New York. Major roadways are I76, I476 and I95. This is a must-see home! Open House will be held on Sunday, May 21st from 1pm to 4pm…hope to see you there.
