Description

This light-flooded home overlooking a walking trail along Cobbs Creek (one of the Fairmount Park system’s best-kept secrets) hits all the marks: tasteful finishes, a primary suite, off-street parking and, on top of its already spacious floorplan, a finished basement. Set nicely back behind a true front lawn is the handsome facade with a stone front porch entrance. The first floor is flooded with light with two exposures from five large windows. The generous living and dining areas with oak floors are wide open to the large ceramic tiled L-shaped kitchen with ample Shaker-style cabinets and granite countertops with stainless steel undermount sink against oversized white subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances–Samsung dishwasher and five-burner range with convection oven, and Frigidaire fridge and microwave. Past here is a mudroom with access to a large powder room with laundry hookups and the large rear patio with steps up to the garage next to a retaining wall garden bed. Back inside and up the wide staircase is the primary suite, plus two additional beds and a hall bath. The primary sits at the front with serene views of the park and has an extra-deep, double-length closet; its private en-suite bathroom features a large vanity and 18x24 porcelain tile full-wall surround in the oversized walk-in rainhead shower with hex tile floor. The rear bedroom has closets that span almost an entire wall and great light from a double window, and the middle has its own double-width closet and is large enough for a queen-sized bed. The hall bath has similar finishes as the primary, but with a tub and wood-pattern tile flooring that works nicely with the grasscloth framed mirror. The finished basement has a clean storage room at one end and plenty more room for storage in the large unfinished mechanics closet at the other. The peaceful location is convenient to I-95 for commuters as well as the trolley, which gets you to Center City in about 20 minutes.
