Pristine, Mid-Century Modern If you’re looking for a true gem in the beautiful Hampden Heights, tucked away on a quiet street near Albright College, this is it! This spacious, mid-century modern brick split level is thoughtfully updated for today’s comfort while preserving its one-of-a-kind character. An inviting, covered porch draws guests into the main entry where multiple front windows, crown molding, and custom built-ins add elegance and warmth to the large foyer, and hardwood flooring leads you all throughout the main level. Tucked just behind an oversized pocket door lies a sleek, modern kitchen with center island, oversized sink, granite countertops, and tile backsplash. With double wall ovens and built-in microwave and dishwasher, it’s fully equipped for everyday cooking, while the breakfast room is set up for entertaining thanks to access to the large back patio. Just off the kitchen, the formal dining room features multiple tall windows, recessed lighting, crown molding, built-in cabinetry, and its own sliding door access to the back patio. The sprawling living room shares many of the same beautiful finishes, plus eyeball lighting to highlight your favorite pieces. On the lower level, you’ll find a cozy family room highlighted by a brick fireplace with a gas insert, built-in dry bar, and a side entry for convenience. This level also includes a powder room, plus a large laundry space with built-in cabinetry and a washbin sink — ideal for an in-law setup. One more level down, the carpeted rec room is full of possibilities — from a potential home gym or office to playroom — and offers additional storage and multiple crawl spaces. Upstairs, the second floor features four bedrooms with hardwood floors and ceiling fans. The Master Suite is a true retreat with a massive walk-in closet, decorative windows overlooking the backyard, and an ensuite bath with double vanity, stall shower, and separate soaking tub. A full hallway bath with updated vanity and tiled tub/shower combo is shared by two of the bedrooms, while the fourth bedroom enjoys its own ensuite bath, recessed lighting, and is a walk-through connection to the primary suite — great for a nursery. The top level offers a carpeted bonus space and a potential 5th bedroom with a cedar closet and additional storage. Outside, enjoy cookouts and family dinners on your large brick patio, while admiring the surroundings of your private, fenced backyard with a lush green backdrop. The oversized 2-bay garage features high ceilings, windows, and hot/cold water hookup — the perfect set up for hobbyists or gearheads.
