If you love the convenience of living in the city but desire the tranquility of the country, this is the home for you. Located on a very quiet street in the highly desirable neighborhood of Roxborough, this single Dutch style home has over a half acre of land which is a rare find in the city of Philadelphia. This beautiful detached property is being listed for the first time in 50 years. Walk into the foyer of this lovingly cared for home to a huge traditional living room. Continue to a sizable formal dining room, a great spot for those family dinners. The updated eat-in kitchen offers designer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and includes a breakfast bar which is good for entertaining or breakfast on the run. The kitchen opens to a dramatic family room with vaulted ceilings and a striking brick gas fireplace to enjoy on those cozy winter nights. Near the family room is a powder room and laundry room. There is a large deck off the family room, an ideal spot for formal entertaining, barbecues or a place to enjoy the beauty of nature this home has to offer. This property is bordered by mature evergreen trees, plantings and shaded trees which creates a serene, park-like setting to view from the deck. On the second floor are four large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main bathroom has floor radian heat to keep toes warm. The huge finished walk-out basement which has been recently updated provides a place for family activities (game room), an office, or additional living space for those unexpected visitors. A large portion of the basement includes plenty of storage space. There is an attached garage ; however, since there is so much land with this property, the natural driveway at the front of the property can park as many cars as you wish. This home is within walking distance of an entrance to Fairmount Park for those who like to hike, bike or enjoy the park's natural beauty. If you don't wish to drive to your work, there is plenty of public transportation within a few blocks of this home. The Manayunk Train Station is minutes from the property. Shopping is never an issue since there are supermarkets, malls, Main Street Manayunk and the Roxborough Business district only minutes from your front door. Enjoy the many shopping, dining, athletic and social activities that this area of the city has to offer. With thoughtful updates and timeless character, this is a rare opportunity in one of Philadelphia's most sought after neighborhoods. Don't miss your chance to own a legacy property with modern updates, natural beauty and unmatched potential. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS AND VIDEO TO BE COMPLETED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
