Situated perfectly in the Roxborough Manayunk neighborhood, just a block from Gorgas Park, with easy access to both Main Street and Ridge Ave, this updated twin has so much to offer, with a brand-new front and side fence, fully enclosed yard with rolling gate to enter the accommodating driveway, with enough room for three cars! At nearly 2,000 square feet on two expansive floors, the layout cannot be beat. The first floor comprises a superb, tiled entryway/enclosed porch, French doors opening to an inviting living room and dining room with hardwood floors, then on to the light filled kitchen with double oven, built in corner nook and counter seating, and conveniently located half bathroom and first floor laundry. From the kitchen, a covered egress leads to the fenced in yard with new patio and a shed with electric hookups for practical use. The stairs to the second-floor lead directly to a newly renovated full bathroom with double vanity, soaking tub, and skylight. From there you will find the rear expanded bedroom with flex space perfect for office, nursery, or home gym. Two additional spacious rooms with ample storage round out the second floor. So many details of this home have been preserved, repaired, and improved.
