Nestled in the wooded Wissahickon section of Roxborough, this adorable, updated and well-loved home is everything you have been looking for! The list of updates and improvements is extensive and it's convenient to everything: a short walk to the Fairmount Park/Wissahickon Hermit Lane trailhead, multiple eateries and coffee shops, best hardware store ever and a grocery store; blocks to several public transport options (15 mins to Center City) or quick access to Kelly Drive & 76 for a short drive downtown! You can debate Dalessandro's and Chubby's cheese steaks on a weekly basis and then walk for ice cream at the C&C Creamery afterwards because they're all just blocks away. Step inside to find a bright & airy home offering a coveted open floor plan, gleaming hardwoods, a fully renovated kitchen (Feb 2022) and tons of updates throughout including replacement windows, recessed Smart lighting in the living and dining rooms, Nest x Yale Smart Locks on the front and back doors, updated electric and HVAC with Nest Thermostat (May 2021) and 200 AMP service (no Knob and Tube here). On the 1st floor you'll find the new, thoughtfully renovated kitchen with breakfast bar open to spacious living and dining areas, a first floor bedroom and renovated full bathroom with a standing shower. Enjoy cozy winter nights by your new gas fireplace and chimney liner (March 2023) while you watch the snow through your new front picture window (Renewal by Andersen - Jan 2022). The new kitchen, remodeled by dRemodeling in 2022, includes NEW appliances, NEW cabinetry and granite counter tops, NEW flooring and subfloor, NEW electric and a NEW rear door with smart lock. And off the kitchen is your outdoor living and dining area, an impressive and over-sized screened-in porch for bug-free enjoyment! Head upstairs to find a spacious bedroom and a large primary bedroom, 2 large hall closets and another bathroom with double vanity sink, gorgeous tile work plus a linen closet. Need more living space? Head downstairs to the basement and find another 400 Sq ft, perfect as a play area, family room and office with remodeled half bath and separate area for workshop, mechanicals, storage and laundry. This finished basement space is NOT in the listed 1,336 square footage. Outside find a professionally hardscaped paver walk and patio, a thoughtfully landscaped yard complete with 4 new Cherry and Sour Gum trees, raised garden beds and a fenced in yard and off street parking. And let's not forget the custom built playground with clubhouse and loft (Aug 2020) that your kids, or grand kids or the neighborhood kids will absolutely love (or it can be removed if requested). Seriously, this thing is awesome! Don't wait, make your appointment today!
