About This Home

As of July 2025

Prime Trolley Square location! Welcome to 1402 Lovering Avenue, a beautifully updated colonial twin directly across from Brandywine Park! This exceptional 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom brick home nestled in the highly desirable Trolley Square neighborhood has delightful surprises at every turn and is an extraordinary opportunity you don't want to miss!

Step inside to discover original hardwood floors that run throughout the home, adding timeless warmth and character. At the front of the house, a bright and inviting sunroom offers endless possibilities, whether you envision a playroom, home office, or serene reading nook. The room is bathed in sunlight and offers a beautiful green view of Brandywine Park creating a peaceful and energizing space.

The inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace and flows seamlessly into the formal dining room - ideal for hosting family and friends. The adjacent kitchen is a showstopper, with honed soapstone countertops, classic white subway tile backsplash, custom wooden cabinetry, sleek stainless steel appliances, and stunning Saltillo tile flooring.

On the second floor, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, all featuring gleaming hardwood floors and ceiling fans. One bedroom offers a delightful surprise - eye-catching French doors that open to a sun-drenched enclosed porch. This charming space showcases rustic exposed brick, brand-new flooring, and views of the backyard, creating a unique retreat. The remodeled hall bathroom offers a touch of modern luxury with black marbled LVT flooring, a sleek white vanity, and a soaking tub/shower combination perfect for unwinding.

The third level is dedicated to the expansive primary suite, offering an updated bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed standing shower and a crisp white vanity, and generous closet space. A cozy sitting area or reading nook completes this private haven, providing a perfect escape at the end of the day.
The full, spacious basement offers a half bath, ample storage space and a walk-out storm door with endless potential for future customization.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with an expansive brick patio - perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining guests, or enjoying quiet evenings under the stars. Multiple garden beds invite you to indulge your green thumb.
