Arrive and you will immediately fall in love with the beautifully landscaped grounds and the detached garage. A stunning asphalt driveway with herringbone pavers and elegantly lined with a man made Belgium Block will easily provide off-street parking for 6 plus cars. Enter through the enclosed front porch to a tray ceiling, a ceiling fan and ready for a gas fireplace. Through to the living room you’ll find beautiful hardwood floors with mahogany inlays. The main level hosts a spacious living room with wood burning fireplace that’s adorned with electric sconces and a beautiful mantel. An archway that leads to the formal dining area with a crystal chandelier that’s enhanced with dimmable recessed lighting. Then into a stunning kitchen, complete with an abundance of modern updated cabinets, crown moldings, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range with a built-in microwave, dishwasher, ceiling fan, custom desk with additional storage, all surrounded with under cabinet lighting. The kitchen opens to a covered rear porch, overlooking an expansive rear patio paved with breathtaking Pennsylvania Blue Slate, a grill pad, a rock garden and a raised herb garden. The enclosed side garden area is completely adorned in a midcentury retro Flagstone and offers a white picket fence and an inviting maintenance free Arbor. The upper-level hosts 2 huge bedrooms, both with ceiling fans & plenty of closet space, a 3rd bedroom with pocket doors, chair rail with shadow box wainscoting and recessed lights and updated bathroom with shower/soaking tub combo, newer pedestal sink and toilet. The lower level is a full basement that is great for storage or can easily be finished into additional living space and has outside stairs with direct access to the rear yard, separate laundry area with washer and dryer that are included and half-bath. The truly unique feature of this property is the 2nd lot that is included and has 1 & ½ car detached garage with additional storage that can be used for storage or converted to a home office, gym, man cave, etc. The driveway offers off-street parking for 6 to 8 cars, which is also great for buyers with businesses & work-trucks. Just an easy five-minute walk to the SEPTA and a 20-minute ride to center city. Add another 10 minutes on the Broad Street Subway and you’re at Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, or The Wells Fargo Center. Sample all the great Philadelphia Chefs, and relax while you digest, letting SEPTA get you home.
