OFFER DEADLINE: Monday August 4, 6PM // Let's be honest, the city is sweltering right now. As I write these remarks, the heat index in Philly is over 100°. What better antidote than a lush, solar-powered, mid-century modern retreat? Sheltered by an enormous Beech tree and bounded by greenery on all four sides, this gem of a home won't let you feel any way but relaxed. The back porch is as shaded and cool as the living room is bright and energizing. An airy dining room adjoins a robust kitchen, from which you have easy access to the washer and dryer in a generous mud room. And best of all? We're just steps away from Tookany Creek Trail, perfect for morning runs or evening strolls. Nestled in the desirable Cheltenham School District, what's not to love?
