About This Home
As of January 2024Welcome to 521 Magee Avenue in the Lawndale section of Philadelphia. This large twin home has been maintained and cared for by the same family since 1941. This home still features some of the original craftsmanship that you just don't see in homes today such as original art deco fixtures, solid wood interior doors, and glass door knobs that are coveted by collectors. Looking for space and size look no further as this home boosts five bedrooms! The first level of the home features a large covered porch, extremely large living room, formal dining room, bonus room, and kitchen. There is also a half bath at the rear of the home. Off of the kitchen there is a rear door that exits to your covered rear porch with trex decking and out to the backyard which has Bilco doors that lead to the basement. The second level of the home features four large bedrooms with ample closet space and a three piece hall bath. In the hallway, there are steps that lead up to the third level finished attic and the fifth bedroom. There was a new rubber roof and shingles installed in 2021. The owners also just recently had the entire basement professionally waterproofed in October 2023 by Basement Guru's. This $12,600 improvement also comes with a transferable warranty that will be given to the new owners. The large full basement features laundry area and plenty of space to be used as a recreational room. The basement also has access to the backyard. This large five bedroom twin is close to schools, public transportation, and shopping! Be sure to make your appointment today so you can become the second owner of this gorgeous home.
