Description

Fully renovated 4-bed, 3-bath Cobbs Creek rowhome with a chef's kitchen, a spa-style primary bath, and a finished walkout basement with in-law suite potential. The main level has new hardwood floors and an open layout. A center sliding glass door brings in natural light and opens onto a large, fully fenced backyard. The kitchen centers on an oversized island, with a designer backsplash, built-in wall oven, stainless appliances, and plenty of cabinet space. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat. The bathroom has a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized glass-enclosed shower, imported tile, and modern fixtures. The middle bedroom's opening is set up for custom French doors on barn-door sliders, which are being made now. Since they aren't installed yet, the buyer can choose those doors, a standard door, or leave the opening open as an airy flex space. The finished walkout basement has a fourth bedroom and a full bath, with direct access to the backyard. It works well for guests, extended family, a home office, or a gym. Buyers interested in more flexibility should ask the seller about adding a front basement entrance for extra egress, and about using the lower level as a separate in-law or family space, possibly for rental income. Buyers should check zoning and permit requirements themselves. The location is close to University City, Penn, the major hospitals, and Center City, and a short walk to Cobbs Creek Park and its trails. Baltimore Avenue's restaurants, Clark Park, and SEPTA are all nearby. It's move-in ready, with about 2,412 finished sq ft. Seller is a licensed real estate professional.
