Property Description
Beautifully maintained end-of-row home tucked onto one of Roxborough's most charming one-way streets. Lovingly cared for over the years, this home blends warmth, character, and functionality in a way that's increasingly hard to find. Step through the most charming enclosed front porch - the perfect bonus living space for morning coffee, reading, plants, toys, or simply unwinding at the end of the day - and into the spacious, light-filled interior featuring beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The main level offers a wonderful flow between the living room, formal dining room, and generously sized kitchen with granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, and plenty of prep space. Upstairs, you'll find three nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath, while the large basement provides excellent storage and laundry space, along with a tucked-away basement toilet for those "better than nothing" moments. The decorative fireplace adds charm and character to the living space, while the mini-split system provides modern cooling comfort. Out back, you'll find even more to love, with a serene and surprisingly spacious backyard retreat that truly sets this home apart. Mature landscaping, patio space, and a peaceful koi pond create an atmosphere rarely found in Philadelphia homes - the kind of space that makes you forget you're in the city at all. Completing the package are off-street parking and a detached garage, an exceptional and highly sought-after combination for the area. Located within walking distance to playgrounds, public transportation, and neighborhood favorites, this close-knit community is known for its friendly atmosphere, walkability, and quiet residential feel while still offering quick access to Main Street Manayunk, Wissahickon trails, restaurants, shopping, and major commuter routes. This is the kind of property buyers walk into and immediately fall in love in the home.
