Single Family Home for sale
Don't miss your opportunity to own a piece of Drexel Hill history! This lovingly-maintained Drexel Park Tudor-style home offers original hardwood floors and newer Pella windows throughout, a beautiful slate roof, historic charm, along with the convenience of modern amenities. Enjoy the benefit of low monthly utilities as this home's solid-built construction retains heat easily in the winter, and the breeze provided by the ample windows make running the A/C unnecessary most summer days! Upon entering the front door you will be charmed to find the sunlight-filled living room with wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining dining room is spacious enough to host all your special occasions, and the delightful breakfast room beyond is perfect for everyday dining, your morning coffee, or after dinner drinks. The kitchen will delight any chef, with its solid cherrywood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious layout. Through the kitchen, you'll find the separate, private office, which is the perfect place to work from home! The first floor powder room completes this area of the home.
Ascend the open staircase to the second floor, where carpet has very recently been removed to reveal the original pine hardwood floors. On this level, you will find a very spacious, freshly painted, primary bedroom complete with its own en-suite full bathroom. The shower features a brand-new frameless shower door and this room has also been freshly painted. Two more generously sized bedrooms and an up-to-date full bathroom rounds out the second floor.
One of the more special features of this home is the walk-up third floor, that has been recently renovated to provide the future owners more usable space. The bonus room atop the stairs offers additional living space, a walk-in Cedar closet and ample storage with newly-constructed under-eave cubbies. Adjoining this room is not only a fourth bedroom, but also a newly-renovated full bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub.
The basement provides more possibility for expansion, as there is a finished area that can be used as a kids' rec room, additional office, or extra space for guests to stay. A half bath, workshop, and storage area complete the basement.
Need outdoor space? Look no further than the private backyard featuring a low-profile deck with gazebo. There is also a covered side porch accessible through French doors from the living room. These areas are perfect for enjoying the weather and for entertaining guests throughout the year. A two car detached garage and private driveway provide plenty of parking for the entire household.
This home is located on a quaint tree-lined street close to public transportation, local schools, shopping, and restaurants. You will find numerous area schools including Upper Darby High School, Holy Child Academy, and Bonner/Prendergast HS within convenient walking distance. The trolley stop around the corner provides homeowners the ease of traveling into the city or into neighboring towns to enjoy all the area has to offer! Drexel Park is a special community that offers a voluntary Homeowners' Association. The Association hosts social events throughout the year, allowing its residents the opportunity to get to know their neighbors and feel a genuine sense of community.
