Throw away your wishbone!. Welcome to 834 Fairfax Road, a 3 BR, 1 BA stone & brick 18 ft Normandy townrow in the popular Drexel Park Gardens section of Drexel Hill. This architecturally pleasing home sits up high on the newly black-topped street, and the front landscaping is quite attractive. Some amenities include a newer, gas, Bradford White hot water heater (1/17), neutral wall colors, CF's, recessed radiators, AC's for the bedroom windows, capped windows, hardwood floors throughout, a sensor light and a freshly coated roof and slate maintenance 11/19. The "834" sign to the left of the pent roofed, front entry welcomes you to this home. Step inside to the vestibule to find the living room, complete with a four-paneled front window for lots of natural light to pour in, w/a deep window sill and a coat closet at the base of the steps to the second floor. The dining room also boasts a 4-paneled back window and a wall air conditioner. The updated eat-in kitchen, by Solid Performance Kitchens, shows off light maple cabinetry, a garbage disposal, a newer gas stove, a microwave, a dishwasher, a double stainless steel sink, a new vinyl back window (Fall, 2018), tile flooring, a ceiling fan and 8 recessed soffit lights trimmed in stainless. The entry to the lower level unfinished basement originates in the kitchen. It houses the utilities, the electric box and the laundry area (washer (2 yrs) and dryer (1 yr) are included), and there are new braided hoses at the washer. The gas, hot water heater was recently serviced (10/19). A new steel door opens to the 1 car driveway and integral garage. Across the common driveway is a small yard space. The stairs to the second floor, with a wrought iron and brass railing, takes you to three bedrooms and an upgraded, remodeled full hall bath (2010). The Master bedroom, at the front of the house, shows off a double window and two closets. The two back bedrooms each have a single window. The hall bath comes complete with a deep, shiny, replaced cast iron tub, a rebuilt Kohler toilet, new faucets, a skylight, neutral tile work on the walls and the floor finished off with bull nose tile, and there are small marble accent tiles that surround the tub area. Relax & watch the goings' on on the street from the front cement patio. Convenience is key! From this home, walk to bus stops to get anywhere fast. The trolley stop is a short walk as well. Get into Philly fast, or visit Media via the trolley to take in all it offers. Shopping is a breeze with the nearby Bond Shopping Center a few blocks away--banks, Acme, eateries, gas stations. Also, it's a short drive to the Quarry Shopping Center on Township Line-- (Giant food & gas, Panera, Qdoba, Kohls, Lowes). Several schools are close by in walking distance as well. The hardwood floors need some work, and the price reflects it. The Seller kindly offers a free, 1 year home warranty to the new owners! So... KISS YOUR LANDLORD GOOD-BYE and MAKE THIS YOUR HAPPY PLACE"! It's the "AFFORDABLE DREAM"!
