Description

Clean as a whistle, bright as a daisy……these accolades sum up this spacious and airy three bedroom row home on the leafy, one way 600 block of Rector St. This superb Roxborough location is just a stone’s throw from the Walnut Lane golf course, the entrance to the Wissahickon where one can hike all the way to Valley Green and beyond and to D’Alessandro’s, renowned for its Philly cheese steaks. Cross the open front porch and step into the glistening interior with most rooms recently painted, floors...Clean as a whistle, bright as a daisy……these accolades sum up this spacious and airy three bedroom row home on the leafy, one way 600 block of Rector St. This superb Roxborough location is just a stone’s throw from the Walnut Lane golf course, the entrance to the Wissahickon where one can hike all the way to Valley Green and beyond and to D’Alessandro’s, renowned for its Philly cheese steaks. Cross the open front porch and step into the glistening interior with most rooms recently painted, floors refinished, high ceilings and natural light filling every nook and cranny. The living room is a good size and the dining room offers great views of the pretty outdoor space. The kitchen offers a galley-style layout with plenty of cabinets, a new refrigerator and space for a table and chairs. The kitchen opens to the expansive deck overlooking the deep back yard with lovely plantings. There is the opportunity for one car to park at the rear of property reaching it from a grassy alley in the back. Upstairs are three sunny bedrooms and an updated hall bathroom. The basement features an older style rec room, laundry facilities, mechanicals and a half bath. The home has been well maintained with a newer furnace, a new hot water heater, newer electric service with all knob and tube wiring removed. A real gem, not to be missed!
