Description

If you love to entertain, have privacy, & the convenience of an urban location… this home is for you! This single-family home has an extra-large double lot & so many amenities that you’ll really enjoy, whether you are a “homebody” or love to host & spend time with others. Set back from the street, you can chill out in your lawn chairs and chat with your neighbors as they pass by if you’re feeling social. If you love to celebrate holidays, the house & lawn will be the perfect tableau to show off your decorating skills. If you love to host a summer BBQ or game day, head to the yard through the side gate. The patio is the perfect spot to set up your projector & use the overhead screen to display the game. Want to get in on the action? Use the half court to play basketball or the lawn area for party games like corn hole, badminton, and croquet! If it’s raining or you need a space to yourself away from your busy household, the custom-built shed is the perfect spot to set up your entertainment system to watch the game while you work on your DIY hobbies or crafts. (Be sure to check out the attic in the shed for more storage!) Love fish/want a water feature? Add a few koi fish to the pond that is ready to welcome its new occupants! If you or your guests need to access the house or use the restroom, use the Bilco doors to go directly to the basement, where the powder room is conveniently located. The interior stairs that lead to the kitchen were adjusted so you could fit a pool table at the front of the basement. With the finished walls and the bar, all you need is to add a ceiling to finish off the space. Otherwise, you are good to go for all your entertaining needs! (You’ll also love the well-lit laundry area, the overall ceiling height, and the additional room for food storage appliances!) The yard is also just steps away from the kitchen, located on the 1st floor of the home. Back inside, you have multiple spaces to eat or work from home. Let’s start from the front door where you are greeted by a sunny, four-season room that is perfect for a home office, drop zone, or reading nook. Just beyond is the living room- the perfect space to watch your favorite shows on your flat-screen TV (included!). The next room is the formal dining room with the stylish tin ceiling. Depending on your needs, this would be a great space to enjoy your meal, convert it to another home office space, or use it as a playroom, as you see fit. Heading towards the back door, you’ll find the eat-in kitchen. To create a better flow, the owner installed a structural beam on the left side to make another entryway to the kitchen and added additional cabinets for storage in the informal dining area. This is another space that is flexible to meet your household’s needs. The kitchen cabinets could use a refresh but the neutral countertops are Corian and in great shape. Plus, you have a large sink and a 3-piece stainless steel appliance package (refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove). The entire first floor is tiled, which is so easy to keep clean. The 2nd floor was expanded to include a 4-piece, tiled bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub, shower stall, extra storage, and good counter space. The hall window didn’t get much light, so it was converted to a clever linen closet! The front & middle rooms are a good size and have good closet spaces. Your bedroom will be the addition to the rear with the vaulted ceiling, recessed light, and fireplace. Choose the flooring you prefer for your room, and you will be all set! Minutes from local shopping, I95, Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, Roosevelt Boulevard, and NE HS. Want to get out into nature? Also, it is just a 6-minute drive to Tookany Creek and Pennypack Parks, plus only 3 minutes to walk to Jardel Playground and Recreation Center. This home offers so much at an affordable price and in a great location in Northeast Philly. Set up your showing tomorrow and be in your new home before the winter holidays begin!
