Versatile Raised Ranch in Desirable Lexington Park – 4 Bedroom Potential! Welcome to 8223 Colfax Street – a spacious and thoughtfully updated raised ranch located in the heart of Lexington Park. This stone-front twin offers incredible flexibility with its layout, featuring three bedrooms and two full baths, with the potential to easily convert back to a four-bedroom home. Originally designed with three bedrooms on the main level, the current owners combined two to create a generous primary suite complete with a custom closet system. If needed, converting the space back to a fourth bedroom is simple and practical. The lower level includes an additional finished room, ideal for a guest bedroom, office, or playroom. The main floor showcases gleaming hardwood floors, a sun-filled living room, and a large eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, tiled flooring, and abundant cabinet space. The finished lower level offers a spacious living area perfect for entertaining or relaxing, a stylish full bathroom, a laundry and storage area with built-in shelving, and walkout access to the backyard. Additional features include updated flooring, lighting, and bathrooms, a private driveway with ample parking, a fenced rear yard with patio space for outdoor enjoyment, and a prime location just minutes from Pennypack Park, shopping, and public transportation. Join us for a Grand Opening Open House on Saturday, May 4th from 1–3 PM. Come see everything this fantastic home has to offer!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
