Travel down the quaint street and pull into your very own parking space. Up the stairs to your covered front porch, the perfect spot for morning coffee and visits with neighbors. Step through a curved archway and once inside to a spacious living room with 9-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors with walnut inlay and a statement wood burning fireplace.... perfect for the chilly evenings we are having. Hardwood floors flow from the living room to the dining room which is full of light through the massive bay window overlooking the side yard. The open-air kitchen has been completely redone and expanded with beautiful white cabinetry, black granite countertops, stainless appliances and slate floors. The island is generous and provides additional counter space. A door leads you out to your own urban oasis, an enormous backyard complete with patio area and mature trees for shade in the summertime. The back and side yards are completely fenced in for privacy and our furry friends. Go up the carpeted stairs to three spacious bedrooms all with hardwood floors. The sun-filled primary bedroom offers an abundance of storage and closet space and a cozy nook for reading your favorite book. All three rooms share a full hall bathroom with tile flooring and tub/shower. The unfinished basement provides ample storage space and a laundry area. The rear and side basement walls have just been parged. The interiors have been freshly painted. This special home awaits its next steward and has a lot of love to give. Gardeners will rejoice! This fabulous location is within walking distance to shopping, dining, public transportation, and Wissahickon Park with miles of trails for jogging or biking.
