FHA appraisal in at a higher price than the current asking price. Clean title. This house is ready to go! Deceptively expansive home in a wonderful Roxborough location. Walking distance to Forbidden Drive, steps to the bus, minutes to the train, easy access to center city, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill and the suburbs, all wrapped up in a spacious home. Four bedrooms plus an optional basement bedroom, three and a half baths, large kitchen, never ending finished basement? the list goes on and on with this house. Closet space is amazing as well. This house lives much bigger than it seems from the street. Enter into the main level and to the left you find a large, light filled living room, to the right is a large formal dining room leading through to a large eat in kitchen, newly updated with a great layout. Heading upstairs you find gleaming hardwood floors, a great sized master bedroom with ensuite bath, three other bedrooms? all a good size and a hall bath. Moving to the basement, this incredible large space offers endless possibilities. With a private entrance, a full bath and a private room, it could be an in-law suite, a home office or ultimate man cave are also great options. A sliding door to the fully fenced, private backyard brings lots of light in and creates great entertaining space for the warmer months. An expanded driveway offering two car parking tops the list of conveniences as well.
