$25,000 Price improvement! Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, 7856 Spring Avenue offers a harmonious blend of modern amenities and classic charm from the early 1900s, which evoke a sense of elegance and warmth. As you approach the property, its curb appeal captivates with a vast front yard, crowned by the shade of tall trees. The welcoming front porch with roomy wooden bench swing, invites you to relax and enjoy the friendly outdoor atmosphere. A private driveway unfolds, with an entry gate and plenty of parking space. Take advantage of this very walkable neighborhood with local restaurants, shops, parks and library, and a short 2 minute stroll to the regional train station that conveniently takes you to center city Philadelphia or the airport. Step inside the house and discover the first-floor living room which greets you with beautiful arches stretching across the ceiling, luxurious laminate floors, recessed lighting, and tall double-hung windows that bathe the space in natural light. Enjoy the warmth and character of the brick encased gas fireplace or spend time in the family room/den in front of the wood burning fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere which can be as casual or formal as you wish. Strong wooden ceiling fans keep the large spaces cool and complement the home’s versatile finish and contemporary styling. Continue to the heart of the home – the fully updated kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, a center island, all the drawers and cabinets you could ever need, and a generous pantry grace this space. The adjacent dining area boasts beautifully tall bay windows (with a perfect view for bird-watchers!), and a long granite countertop makes a comfortable space for breakfast or a coffee break. A powder room enhances the first floor's convenience. Spend time in the sunroom with exposed beams and tall windows that let in plenty of sun, offering a tranquil retreat. Head up the elegant turn-back staircase with original woodwork to the second floor, notice the chandelier and the amount of natural light that shines in. The primary suite is complete with a full bathroom and built in closet. Spacious bedrooms provide comfort and versatility - the bedrooms can also easily be a private home office, gym, studio, or guest room. Ascend to the third floor, where two extra large bedrooms and a full bathroom complete this gorgeous, sunbathed home (and where the view of the blooming magnolia tree outside is a sight not to be missed!) Descend to the fully finished basement, ready for entertaining. A wrap-around wet bar and exceptional amount of space is your blank canvas for creating a home theater, man cave, art studio, or anything else you can imagine. The basement has an upgraded sump pump system and a separated laundry area with washer and dryer, as well as a full upright freezer and refrigerator for extra food storage. Explore the captivating outdoor oasis, featuring an extended rear deck with lighting and lots of space for outdoor enjoyment. The side yard has room for a summer vegetable garden, and the half-acre lot includes a chicken coop, plenty of parking spaces, a workshop, a covered bicycle/motorcycle port, and fruit trees that the owners have nurtured over the years and bear fruit each summer - including apricots, peaches, apples, plums, a blackberry patch and more. This beautiful home has strong foundations and a warm vibe - take advantage of the opportunity to make this natural haven yours today.
