Discover a hidden gem in Wynnefield! Rexford Road is a charming cul-de-sac street with 16 wide 1920s Tudor style rowhomes on either side of tree-lined center island and generous “pull in” parking. The homes have deep front gardens. This home’s garden has extensive perennial trees and low plantings, providing a unfolding view of color and greenery from spring through fall, with low maintenance. Even more endearing than the physical charm is the deep sense of community. There is an active and welcoming community organization with neighbors who care deeply about the well- being of Rexford Rd and the local community. The long-time owner is sad to be moving from her dear neighbors as she downsizes, and hopes the next owner will enjoy many happy years living on Rexford Road. This home is surprisingly large for a Philadelphia rowhome, thanks to its 20 foot width, which also provides many windows for light to stream in this south facing house with a front sunroom open to the beamed ceiling living room, with inviting stone fireplace. The sunroom is where you’ll likely want to sit with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, overlooking your front garden while observing the life of Rexford Road. The welcoming entryway has a large coat closet, a gracious stairway up to the second floor, and a powder room tucked off the short hallway to the dining room. The bright, large dining room enables you to host your holiday gatherings. The kitchen is awaiting your personal touch to update for your cooking style. The wonderful livability of this home continues upstairs. The primary bedroom is grandly large, and has its own full bathroom with tiled shower and a charming window. Off the skylit hallway is a second tiled bathroom, with a soaking tub and another skylight. The two rear bedrooms are both a good size. One is currently set up as a home office, with a versatile wall of built in cabinetry. Enjoy the beauty of original hardwood floors throughout the house and the peace of mind offered by the newer replacement windows throughout. The newer roof has a transferrable warranty. The basement highlights the high quality of the home’s systems, providing peace of mind to the new owner. The current owner has replaced the heater in the past year and has recently replaced the electric panel with new 200 amp service. The basement has a French drain system with sump pump at the front exterior wall. The walk out laundry leads to a covered entry area in front of the garage, which has a new garage door. Additional parking is provided by the rear driveway. This home is perfectly located, in a quiet setting, yet close to train and bus transit, highways, grocery shopping, including Produce Junction, drugstores, banks, and many restaurants. Come quickly and discover your affordable home in a leafy neighborhood surrounded by grand detached Wynnefield homes. Surprise yourself and your friends with this hidden gem that you found!
