HUGE PRICE DROP - Motivated Seller is ready to make a deal! Now at $265k with a $2k credit towards closing costs, new appliances, watusi lessons - or however you want to spend it! And what do you get with this dreamy beautiful home? To start with you get it handed off to you by a cool AF owner who has LOVED living here for the last 6 years. She called me up and said "Yo! Realtor dude! My company is making me relocate. Cut the price today and make a deal to sell this baby!" So let's go! Unlock the front door and enter key-free thanks to the keypad she had installed. No more fiddling for keys you're hoping aren't at the bottom of your pocketbook stuck to a chicklette or clean panty liner. I hate that! I mean. .. I would if I carried a pocketbook. Stop looking at me like that! Okay, back to this fantastic home. Once you walk in you'll be instantly impressed by the recently installed new floors - perfect for practicing the Watusi suggested above. More dazzlement (is that a word?) instantly hits you as you check out the spectacular faux brick wall leading up to the second floor. Think it is part of the original home? Nope. Painstakingly installed by the owner and her fiance as a labor of love. It is brilliant! The lovely cozy open concept first floor takes you right into the eat-in kitchen with a full suite of stainless appliances. The owner was on the brink of replacing them all as an upgrade for herself until her job beckoned her elsewhere and she said "throw 2-grand at the buyer(s) and let them decide if they want new ones. " A cool thing that will remain is a reverse osmosis water filtration system she recently had installed. SO refreshing! Behind the kitchen is an updated laundry room with a newer washer and dryer and bonus storage. No more schlepping yesterday's bloomers to the basement to wash. Like to grill? (If so I prefer my burgers medium-rare, provolone wit!) Plenty of room to grill and entertain on the very nice size private patio. Or hang out with your morning coffee or a beverage on a pleasant evening. As you walk back inside it will dawn on you how move-in ready the home is because the entire place was painted just prior to going onto the market. Nothing for you to do at all! But you need to see the rest. Check the basement if you like. It is bone-dry with a ton of room for storage and a guarantee of no boogie-men lying in wait. It also has an updated furnace installed just prior to this owner's purchase of the home. Once back up on the main level follow that beautiful brick wall up the second floor and plan to be blown away by the absolutely gorgeous new bathroom! The colors and tile are fantastic! And the convenient built-in shower door eliminates the need for shower curtains that eventually become moldy, gross and sometimes touch me when I'm trying to shower. YUCK! Sorry, off on another tangent. Back to this great home. The short hallway has a bonus storage closet and both bedrooms have new floors, ceiling fans and full size closets. The main bedroom is very spacious and south facing so lots of great light all day long. And above your head is a 1-year new roof (2021) with a 15-year transferable warranty guaranteed to hold Santa, the sleigh and all the reindeer if they are part of your December jam. Or a Solstice tree or a mensch on a bench or nothing at all because we welcome all Buyers. This is a great block and you're only a hop, skip and a pirouette from all the great bars and restaurants on Passyunk Ave, Bok, and so many other great businesses. The 45 Bus stops at the end of the block for an easy commute to Center City. Or walk a couple more blocks and take the Broad Street Line down to a game or concert. You can't go wrong with this amazing home so come and take a look today! Seriously. Please buy it. No threats have been made and her dog still licks my face but she will win if we arm wrestle and her fiance played pro football so I've got no chance. But the real reason is its a GREAT house!
