Description

Welcome to this completely updated twin home in desirable Cobbs Creek! Enter from the inviting covered front porch into a bright, open-concept main level featuring gleaming cherry hardwood floors throughout. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating the perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond, the stunning eat-in kitchen is sure to impress with Quartz countertops, a large island with seating, a double stainless steel sink, gas cooking, porcelain tile floors, and newer stainless steel appliances. A convenient door off the kitchen leads to the private rear patio with built-in garden beds, offering a great spot for relaxing or dining outdoors, with alley access that runs from the rear to the front of the house. A stylish half bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a beautiful front primary suite featuring a charming bay window and an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and double vanity. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bathroom with a walk-in shower. The fully finished basement provides fantastic additional living space, perfect for a family room, home office, gym, or guest area. This level also features two large walk-in storage closets, two additional storage closets, a half bathroom, and a laundry area. Additional updates include fresh paint throughout, new windows, and exterior safety doors. Outside, a lovely rosebush and a flowering sidewalk tree enhances the front of the home adding wonderful curb appeal. Ideally located just a few blocks from trolley and bus stops and the Christy Recreation Center, which offers a playground, athletic fields, a seasonal pool, and more. You’ll also enjoy easy access to Cobbs Creek Park, as well as the restaurants, nightlife, and shopping along Baltimore Avenue. Clark Park, home to the popular farmer’s market and Shakespeare in the Park, is just a short distance away. Convenient to Penn Medicine Cedar Avenue and University City, making commuting and city living a breeze. Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
