Move-in ready, well maintained, light filled, charming 1939 center hall colonial. Located in quiet Pilgrim Gardens, this stone home is the perfect size with 3 generous bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Entering through the bright center hall, the first floor has parquet wood floors, a dining room with a bay window, a large 300 square foot living room, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a half bath. The rooms flow easily from one to another making entertaining easy with plenty of space for guests. The kitchen with granite counter tops and solid wood cabinets was designed for two cooks with more than 8 feet of counter work space and has a large pantry for plenty of storage. The second floor has a true master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and two closets. Two additional good sized bedrooms, hall bath, and hall closet complete the second floor. Throughout the house, all radiators are recessed under wide window sills. Half of the clean, dry basement is partially finished and could easily be turned into an additional finished living space. The unfinished half of the basement contains the large laundry and utility/storage area. Many updates have been made to this older home over time with newer features including driveway/concrete, roof, stone pointing, central air, natural gas service, high-efficiency boiler and indirect hot water heater, replacement windows, updated electricity, and kitchen/bathroom plumbing. Outside, the flat lot has mature, professional landscaping and adds to the beauty of the neighborhood. A one car garage is located in the back of the house, perfect for parking or storage. This street is subject to very little traffic and is an easy walk to the beautiful Aronimink Swim Club and the Pilgrim Gardens Shopping Center. Conveniently located near all major routes, Philadelphia, and public transportation.
