Welcome to 281 Wayne Avenue - a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath, stone-front home nestled on a tree-lined street in the historic borough of Lansdowne! With gorgeous curb appeal and a move-in ready interior this home offers the perfect blend of classic character and modern comfort. Walk up the pathway past lush landscaping and through the stone facade to find classic hardwood floors that run throughout the home. The spacious living room features a working fireplace and opens to an inviting screened-in porch—perfect for enjoying coffee in the mornings, reading a book, or letting the kids play on a rainy day. The formal dining room, complete with a charming bay window, flows into the updated kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances. A convenient mudroom off of the kitchen provides everyday practicality and a full first-floor bathroom with a walk-in shower adds flexibility. Follow the hardwood floors upstairs to the large primary bedroom with a connected bonus room ideal for a walk-in closet, home office, nursery, or whatever works for you. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom with classic subway tile and a tub/shower combo complete the second floor. Continue up to the large walk-up attic that offers endless possibilities—storage, a creative studio, or finish it for even more living area. The clean and dry basement houses the laundry and provides tons of additional storage. Outside, enjoy the flat, landscaped yard and a detached garage that currently serves as a workshop—complete with electricity and the potential for heat. It's a dream space for hobbyists, artists, or anyone needing extra storage. The location is just minutes from the YMCA, parks, library, local schools, and Lansdowne’s charming downtown with restaurants and shops. It is conveniently located near several SEPTA stops making for easy access to Center City Philadelphia, Media, and so much more! Don’t miss your chance to own this versatile, character-filled home in one of Delaware County’s most vibrant communities!
