A beautiful, move-in-ready brick row that perfectly blends classic Philadelphia architecture with modern, yet stylish updates! Boasting a spacious three-bedroom layout, a fantastic outdoor space, and some everyday functional bonuses, this property offers everything one needs to feel right at home. Start your mornings or unwind in the evenings on the spacious, covered front porch - an ideal setup for outdoor seating and summer hangs. Step inside to a welcoming living room complete with original hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a beautiful leaded-glass accent window that adds a touch of historic charm! The main floor effortlessly flows into a generous dining room, highlighted by a rustic-chic light fixture and plenty of space for a large family table. The updated kitchen is a true standout thanks to its stainless appliances - including a gas range and range hood - crisp subway tile backsplash, rich, dark cabinetry, extensive counter space, and room for extra pantry storage, a bar cart, or a coffee station. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms with a continuation of the original hardwood flooring, ceiling fans, and plentiful natural light. A clean, modern full bathroom serves the upper level, complete with a warm wood vanity and neutral tones. A massive lower level provides incredible utility. It houses the laundry area and a high-efficiency tankless water heater, while offering an abundance of clean storage space or the potential for a workshop/home gym/future finished space. Step out back to your private, fenced-in grassy yard. It's the perfect spot for pets, gardening, or weekend barbecues. Situated in a highly desirable pocket of Roxborough, you are just minutes away from the bustling shops and restaurants of Main Street Manayunk, the scenic trails of Wissahickon Valley Park, and convenient public transit options for an easy commute into Center City!
