About This Home
As of November 2021The lively dining and retail scene of walkable Chestnut Hill, meets the convenience of a private garage and fenced yard in this meticulously maintained two-story twin home, just steps from the Wyndmoor train station. As you enter this inviting home, you are greeted with gleaming hardwood floors and wainscoting throughout the freshly painted upper level. The light-filled living/dining area with an adjacent kitchen, 2 bedrooms and full bath, provide the ease of 1 floor living on this level.
Step down to the lower level, and notice the extra storage areas, including a large laundry room and full bath, while making your way to the spacious den with brick fireplace. The glass sliders in the den provide access to the screened-in porch, perfect for your morning coffee or entertaining friends. This serene quiet oasis overlooks the private fenced-in backyard highlighted with mature landscaping. Also accessible from this level is the immaculate attached garage providing additional storage areas, including a cedar closet.
Along with instant access to the train station and Chestnut Hill, you will love the proximity of the Water Tower rec center offering a playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, hockey rink and ball fields as well as Pastorius Park with entertaining summer concerts. The accessibility of numerous restaurants, Fresh Market, and trendy shopping, are just a few of the perks you will appreciate with this convenient location.
Newer HVAC, roof, and off- street parking makes this charmer a must see!
