Welcome to the latest major renovation in Manayunk, a Philadelphia Neighborhood. This home was taken all the way down to the studs and floor joists, of which most were replaced with brand new joists. All new electrical, plumbing and Central A/C with tons of added new square footage and outdoor spaces. If you checked out all of the other homes in Manayunk and haven't found "the one", then you absolutely need to schedule your appointment to see this home, you won't be disappointed. Let's start the descriptive tour at the front entrance. The exterior façade has been upgraded with white shiplap and Pennsylvania Field Stone at the base to give it that million dollar look. Once we step inside your eyes are drawn to the impressive accent wall in the living room that keeps that luxury feeling from seeing the exterior upgrades. The first floor is setup as an open concept living style, meaning that all the dividing walls between the living, dining and kitchen areas have been eliminated to allow everyone on the first floor to be in contact with eachother. The design makes it ideal for entertaining family and friends. The kitchen has been upgraded with all of the modern conveniences that we all expect to find in today's kitchens. High end refrigerator with multiple chill zones and a high end microwave from Haier that vents all of your cooking to the outside, so if you like to fry or cook with lots of spices this is exactly what you need. The kitchen continues with high end quartz countertops and backsplash. The kitchen then leads to the back yard which is a HUGE space for dogs, playing children, bbq and much much more. As you walk out the rear door the second floor is extended over the patio and provides a great shade or rain shelter. The basement has been upgraded and finished to inlcude an additional 300 sq ft of indoor living space. The basement can be used for an office, a theater room, video game room or play area. The finished basement also includes a half bathroom for convenience. Now, let's take a look at the second floor where we will see the two secondary bedrooms, one in the front of the home and one in the rear of the home and separated in the middle by the upgraded full bathroom and stackable front load laundry system (included). So, now we take the next set of stairs up to the owner's bedroom suite complete with a massive bathroom that includes a dual vanity sink, large double person standup shower with matte gold fixtures and marble tiled floors to continue that luxury feeling you get throughout the home. As we continue down the hallway you will see the walk in closets on either side of the hallway then into the massive bedroom big enough for a king bedroom set. If you think that's all this home has to offer then think again because we now get to go outside onto the double decker roof top deck. We walk out of the hallway onto the first deck that overlooks the rear yard and has views of the Schuylkill River Valley and then there is a second set of stairs to the tippy top roof where you will see views of the CC Philadelphia Skyline and the surrounding wooded river valley. The home also features dual zone heating and cooling with TWO separate systems. Interior GSF is approximately 2,300 plus 720 GSF of Roof Deck Outdoor and 640 GSF of rear yard space for a grand total of 3,660 GSF of Indoor and Outdoor Living Space! You have got to come and check out this home in person, you will not be disappointed! Also located within feet of the home are both Pretzel Park and Boone Park - both extremely popular parks. You are also steps away from the train stops for the Regional Rail. Steps away from Main Street Manayunk which provides so many restaurants, shops and activities from Sweat Fitness to Ice Cream to United Artist Movie Theater to the many gastro pubs, so many in fact you can partake in one every evening for a month and not go to the same one twice.
