Discover the charm and elegance of this bright and sunny home in the highly sought-after Wissahickon Hills neighborhood of Roxborough! This residence features three spacious bedrooms, a beautifully finished basement with a powder room, and the luxury of 2-car parking in your private driveway, designed for ultimate comfort and convenience. The kitchen is exceptionally roomy, thanks to the staircase relocation from the kitchen to the dining room. Just off the dining room, you’ll find a spacious patio perfect for relaxation. The hardwood floors, crown molding, and wainscoting bring a touch of timeless elegance to the sunlit living spaces. Recent upgrades include a new HVAC system installed in 2021, a new water heater in 2022, and a silvercoat on the roof in August 2024. The yard was securely enclosed with an aluminum fence in 2021, adding both security and charm. Don't miss the opportunity to make this gem yours today! Showings begin Friday at 6PM.
