Welcome to 266 Rochelle Avenue, a stately stone twin that perfectly captures the architectural soul of the Wissahickon neighborhood. Characterized by its commanding exterior and expansive 2,173 square foot layout, this 5 BD home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia history on a generously sized lot! From the moment you arrive, the towering windows and classic masonry signal a home of substance and quality. The interior unfolds across two and a half stories, featuring high ceilings that add to an airy, sun-drenched atmosphere. With seven spacious rooms, including four well-appointed bedrooms, there is ample space for a dedicated home office, a library, or a creative suite. The basement is dry and unfinished, begging for someone to come in and give it the glow-up it deserves. Situated on an oversized 4,183 sq. ft. lot, the outdoor space is a true sanctuary. A rare detached garage and private driveway provide coveted off-street parking in a prime urban location. The deep backyard offers endless possibilities for professional landscaping, a private patio, or a lush play area. Located in the heart of 19128, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Northwest Philadelphia. Just a short stroll to the trailheads of Wissahickon Valley Park and Fairmount Park. Walk to the highly-regarded Cook-Wissahickon School and enjoy the local cafes and boutiques of Ridge Avenue or Main Street Manayunk. Minutes from the Wissahickon Train Station for a stress-free ride into Center City, with easy access to I-76 and Main Street Manayunk. Discover the perfect blend of historic character and neighborhood charm. Offer Deadline set to Sunday, 5/31, at 5 PM.
