About This Home
As of February 2025Nestled on a quaint block at the tip of University City. This charming end unit has such a curb appeal with a stained glass pictured frame front window adorning the front porch! As you enter, please create the vision to make this Beauty into home sweet home after making some needed upgrades and design! Lets stroll through the vestibule and enter into a large living room with lots of space for family or entertaining. The adjacent dining room discreetly boast a full bathroom off the side of this large room. When entering the expansive eat in kitchen, you are impressed with the space and potential. The rear shed which offers additional storage space leads you to the fenced-in concrete back yard. The full unfinished basement again demands your creativity!
Lets travel up the double landing front stairway to enter the upstairs where you'll find three spacious bedrooms each with closet space. Your middle bedroom has an extended closet that reaches from the room to hallway. The second level also features a full bath.
This charming neighborhood has excellent features, with one being the current renovations of the Recreation Center directly across the street. When that is complete, what a treat for the neighborhood! The house is also located in walking distance from public transportation to Center City and the regional line if you elect to travel beyond the city limits. There are also bike lanes through out the neighborhood, and a great walkable score.
Don't miss this opportunity to own in a prestigious, sought-after community.
Seller will accept offers once property becomes active, but does not anticipate to keep on market long!
Much success!
