Tucked into Philadelphia's beloved Andorra neighborhood, this detached home is the kind of place that just feels good to walk into. Better yet, the big projects are already crossed off the list. Central air went in back in 2023, a new roof in 2025, and 2026 brought new aluminum siding, fresh insulation, and a 50 gallon water heater. Solar powered exterior cameras are already up and running, so you can settle in and relax. Inside, spacious living areas open up around a fireplace that is begging for a cold night and a good book. The eat in kitchen is made for slow Saturday mornings and weeknight dinners alike. Downstairs, the finished basement is yours to claim, whether that means a second living space, a home office, a gym, a playroom, or the world's most organized storage. Then there's the backyard, and it is a big one. Fully fenced and wide open to whatever you dream up: raised garden beds, string lights and a long table for summer, room to run, or a quiet spot with your morning coffee. There's even a newly built chicken coop already standing, and it can stay if fresh eggs sound like your kind of morning. An attached garage and private driveway keep the daily stuff easy. And the location is hard to beat. Wissahickon Valley Park and Trails, Fairmount Park, Main Street Manayunk, and Chestnut Hill are all just minutes away, along with shopping, dining, public transportation, and quick access to I-76, Lincoln Drive, and Kelly Drive. Homes like this in Andorra do not come along often. Open House Saturday, August 29 from 11:00 to 1:00 and Sunday, August 30 from 1:00 to 3:00. Professional photos coming soon. Come see it in person.

About
Andorra
Andorra, located between Roxborough and Chestnut Hill, is a residential and hillside Philadelphia neighborhood with wooded slopes and winding roads. Ridge Avenue concentrates the area’s everyday rhythm, where small storefronts, takeout counters, and service shops line the corridor. Mid-century splits and stone colonials sit on larger lots, and many streets feel buffered by trees. The Wissahickon Valley Park edge shapes local routines with trailheads and creekside paths. The Andorra Shopping Center and the nearby Valley Green Inn act as familiar gathering points tied to errands and weekend walks. SEPTA’s Ivy Ridge station links the neighborhood to Center City without changing its quiet, elevated feel.
