You’ll feel as though you’ve hit the jackpot if you’re the lucky buyer who gets to call this outstanding Manayunk townhouse your new home. With so many positive attributes, it is difficult to know where to begin in relaying them all to you. Let’s start with the outside of the home and the fact that this townhome comes with not one, not two, but THREE dedicated parking spaces—one covered space in the attached garage and two additional outdoor parking spaces in the private parking area in the front of the home. And—since this home is not part of an HOA association, there are absolutely no extra maintenance fees! Step inside the home and you’ll be equally impressed with the amenities and finishes it offers. As you ascend the stairs to the second level and into the open-concept main living area, you might begin to imagine your everyday life in your new home. A large kitchen with a breakfast bar with seating for 4 or 5 people is equipped with neutral-colored wood cabinets, a pretty mosaic-tile backsplash, granite countertops, and brand-new stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen is even large enough for a small table for extra seating. Just off the kitchen is a spacious deck perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, unwinding with your favorite beverage, and entertaining family and friends. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious, sun-filled living room with a gorgeous stone-surround gas fireplace. Can you see yourself cozying up to it on those crisp autumn and cold winter evenings? Rounding out this floor of the home is a convenient powder room and a large coat closet. Next, let’s head upstairs where you will discover a full hall bathroom with a tub/shower combination and a double-sink vanity as well as two spacious and sunny bedrooms—both with new, beautiful luxury vinyl plank flooring and large closets. If you don’t need all three bedrooms of this home, you can convert one into a work-from-home space or maybe even a meditation or fitness studio. The top floor of the home is host to the primary bedroom suite, complete with a sitting area, a large walk-in closet, and a private en suite bathroom with double vanity, stall shower, and a jetted soaking tub with a skylight overtop. Can you just imagine luxuriating in this tub after a long day at work? The parking and interior of this home are just the beginning of what makes it so fantastic. Its location is pretty awesome, too. You’re going to love walking to the unique shops, diverse array of restaurants, and the nightlife found within walking distance on Manayunk’s Main Street, as well as the side streets of Manayunk and nearby Roxborough. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, you’re going to really love this home’s proximity to the Schuylkill River Trail—it’s a very short walk to this multi-use path that will eventually extend 120 miles from Philadelphia through Montgomery, Chester, Berks, and Schuylkill Counties. As if that wasn’t enough, the famed Wissahickon trails are also just a short drive away. The regional rail, bus, and major roadways are also conveniently located within a few minutes' walk or drive from this home, making your commuting needs a breeze. Don’t miss out on your chance to call this spectacular home your own!

Residential Single-Family Attached-5
The RSA, Residential Single-Family Attached districts are primarily intended to accommodate attached and semi-detached houses on individual lots, but may be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types, including detached houses. The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts. The Zoning Code includes five RSA districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
