About this home
Welcome to 5540 Miriam Road, a brick home offering three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a finished lower level, and something most Philadelphia homes cannot promise: your own off-street parking spot out back. A fenced front garden and patio set it apart before you reach the door. Inside, the living room features luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, a bright front window, and a decorative fireplace with mantel that gives the room a natural focal point. The dining area continues the same flooring and includes a built-in cove alcove, a nice spot for a hutch, a bar, or a reading chair. The kitchen has been updated with white shaker cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and large format tile flooring, with a door leading out to the rear balcony. A full bathroom on this level is a genuine convenience that homes this size rarely offer. Upstairs, three bedrooms all feature hardwood floors, two with ceiling fans and lights, and the front bedroom pulls in light from a wide triple window. The full hall bath is nicely updated with large format tile floors, a tiled step-in shower, partial tile walls, and a single sink vanity. The finished lower level adds real living space, finished in parquet hardwood with a painted brick accent wall running alongside the stairs. Down here you will also find a third full bathroom with tile floors, a step-in shower, and a single sink vanity, plus the laundry area and a door leading directly out to your parking spot. Three bedrooms, three full baths, a finished basement, and off-street parking. That combination is hard to find at this price point. Schedule your showing today.

Summerdale, located between Bustleton Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, is a residential and commercial Philadelphia neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and auto-oriented corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bustleton Avenue and Cottman Avenue crossroads, where bakeries, delis, small groceries, and longtime service shops line the sidewalks. The Ukrainian American Sport Center anchors local cultural life with festivals and community events. Nearby, Pennypack Park’s trails and creek crossings shape daily routines with a strong outdoors thread. Housing reads as mid-century brick twins and rows with tidy front lawns and driveways. Roosevelt Boulevard’s broad lanes and retail strips set the edge-of-city tempo.
