Outside, the gazebo, deck, above-ground pool, and expansive yard create plenty of room to entertain, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, the home features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod layout with one bedroom on the main level and a full finished second floor with two bedrooms and a full bath -- heated, functional, and accessed via a permanent interior staircase. The finished basement adds additional living space. The first floor offers updated flooring, abundant natural light, an updated kitchen, and a remodeled full bath. Major improvements include updated electric, a recently replaced heat pump HVAC system, and a newly installed radon mitigation system. Dedicated street parking spots are located directly at the property entrance. If you have been looking for a home with strong outdoor living, functional space, and a Fox Chase location that feels connected yet tucked away, this one is worth a look. Street parking spots directly accessible at property entrance.

Suburb living with city taxes. RARE, detached house on an over 9,000 sqft lot on the edge of the city. Brand new flooring and freshly painted, this property is perfect and move in ready. The first floor consists of living room, dining room, kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom and a bonus Florida/Sun room. Upstairs are two nicely sized bedrooms and a second full bath. The finished basement lends itself to even more living area. Use it as a media room, an extra bedroom, or home gym. Outside is an expansive yard that wraps around the entire house. Great for entertaining, family events, pool parties or just relaxing, with plenty of room to possibly expand as the property next door has done. Close to shopping and main highway access routes. This home is a dream come true and is waiting for you. Make your appointment today!
