Property Description

Majestic is the word I would use to describe this stately colonial on a private overlook hills street in the Somerton section of Philadelphia. This home has had only 1 owner for the last 50 years and has been cared for like family boasting 3 bedrooms with 1 full bath and 2 half baths. It has an oversized lot (75x125) completely fenced in but please don't forget the classic stone fireplace and the 4-season sunroom off the living room overlooking the huge side, front & back yards. Bring your Buyers, they will thank you.
