Did you ever dream of owning a big, beautiful home, with gorgeous outdoor areas and gardens, but you didn't want to pay the big price? Well, your dream has come true!!! This incredible home features nearly 3,500 square feet, 6 big bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, very large living room and dining room and a large 3rd floor that can be turned into studios, offices, exercise room or additional bedrooms. Is an "eat-in" kitchen on your "wish list"? Then you are going to love this gigantic remodeled kitchen with New Maple Cabinets, Granite Countertops, Glass Tile Backsplash, Ceramic Tile Floor and a 4 Piece Stainless Steel Appliance set (range, refrigerator, dishwasher and overhead microwave). New Solid Hardwood (Gunstock Oak) has been installed on the entire first floor and new carpeting was installed throughout the second floor. Most windows are newer replacement windows. The heater and roof are in very good shape. If you love outdoor entertaining or gardening you are going to be blown away the front lawn, side yards and back patio? It feels like you're living on a large private estate far out in the suburbs, but you're just 20 minutes from Center City Philly (by car or train). If you want even more grounds and privacy you can purchase the 45'x85' lot directly behind the back patio. The address for the lot is 7821 Cottage Street. The MLS 7168513. The current asking price for the lot is 49,900. The driveway on the side of the house is part of 4400 Decatur Street, but the garage at the end of the driveway is part of 7821 Cottage Street. This home is a one of a kind property, great for a large family or families, and the way the home is set up, everyone living there will have plenty of privacy (inside and outside)! This house currently has a hardwired fire alarm system and exit signs, which can be used by the new owner or removed upon request. 4400 Decatur is close to shopping, public transportation, major highways and parks / playgrounds. Don't let this opportunity pass you by! If you want, or need, a big house with nice private outdoor areas, this is the home for you! You will not find a quality home like this for under 300,000, so schedule your showing and get your offer in.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
