Property Description
What do they say about real estate? Location, Location, Location!!! Tucked down a rarely traveled side street sits this lovely Mission-style Twin (hand-troweled original stucco, barrel-tiled terra-cotta roof) that sits just a 1/2 block from Carpenter Woods. Elevated from the street, this "sunny-side" property gets light all day from the South facing windows. Up several flights of stairs, there is a small patio at the front entry surrounded by mature azaleas to give one privacy. Step into the cozy sunroom (heated) with windows on 2 walls. The large living room has a wood-burning fireplace centered on the outside wall. The dining room has a lovely little niche that's perfect for a beautiful buffet. The eat-in kitchen has all the necessary appliances, a wall of pantry cabinets & even retains one of the original 1920's storage cabinets. There is direct access to the rear deck. Upstairs, there are 3 spacious bedrooms with larger than normal closets and a remodeled full bathroom. The basement provides ample storage, the laundry, the old "privy closet" and access to the rear alley, driveway and 1-car garage (no inside access). It's a solid home in a great location which needs the next Buyer's vision to bring it into the 21st century. One can easily live in it today or there's ample equity to update key elements to make it your own! Easily walkable to Weaver's Way and all the great little shops around the coop. A slightly longer walk can get you to several SEPTA stations and even down to Forbidden Drive through the Wissahickon Creek access trails just a few blocks away. Come discover a quiet location that's close to everything!
