The Second Floor has large landing that takes you to three large bedrooms, a renovated Full Hall Bath and a Master Suite with a highly desirable white marble tiled floor and shower stall, Full Bathroom, white built-in wardrobes, and a walk-up attic thats carpeted for storage or other use. The multi-use Basement is newly carpeted and has ample room for both gym equipment plus couch and home theater system or a playroom. The separate ceramic tiled laundry room has plenty of space for taking care of business and the unfinished utility room has more storage space. Hardwood flooring throughout and wainscoting on stairs give this home the charm every renovated home needs. Both the front and back yards have green space for play. Plus you'll never have to go to the seashore again with the newer $70,000 in-ground HEATED pool and hot tub that are gated for safety. Patio space for several lounge chairs make for the perfect entertaining space for every family. The exterior is brick and siding so low maintenance year after year. If that's not enough, this home is just a few steps to General Wayne Park, Cynwyd Trail, tennis courts, playground and fields. Work in Center City Philadelphia?
