This charming 3BR home with fenced backyard and idyllic surrounding outdoor space, is located in the increasingly sought after Penn Branch/Hillcrest neighborhood. Upon entering, you encounter an imminently liveable first floor complete with kitchen, dining area and living room. There is an easy flow connecting them all. This space will no doubt serve as the heart of the home where meals are prepared and then talked over. An additional ancillary room off of the kitchen, boasts abundant natural light and is perfect for a study, play area, or entertainment space. The kitchen opens to a lovely, spacious deck overlooking a fenced backyard ideal for children or pets. On the second floor, circling a small landing, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom features an en suite bath and additional private sitting areas. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The fully finished basement includes an additional full bath and a door leading directly to the attached single car garage. In addition to the driveway, there is abundant on-street parking. Few spots in the city allow for such easy access to urban eateries, museums and landmarks, while also fostering a sense of peace and tranquility most often found in the midst of natural beauty. Peer out your front door and encounter stunning mature trees and ample green space in the form of federal parkland (Ft. DuPont Park), complete with running and walking trails within. This is a special home in an exceptional neighborhood. Could this be the start of your next chapter?
