Description

Fabulous value in the City in move-in condition! Welcome to the secluded, cherry blossom lined streets of Belmont Village, a community association, with easy access to the expansive forests of Fairmount Park. This 1,600 sq ft, stone 3 bedroom, 2.1 bath home has been loved and updated over the past 17 years by the fastidious homeowners. Walking up to the front door you will notice a copper, standing seam roof over the bay window and entryway overhang and slate mansard. Once inside, an expansive living room is to your right and an eat-in kitchen is straight ahead with lots of room for a large dining table. Natural light floods the room from the huge French doors overlooking the amazing vistas over acres of the Bala Golf Course out of every rear-facing window. The stunning cook’s kitchen includes a fabulous island with a deep overhang for bar stools, gorgeous quartz countertops, a 4-burner gas stove with a warmer burner, a new refrigerator with a water and ice dispenser in the door, and a built-in designer storage closet. Head out to your expansive 28' x 16' maintenance free composite deck overlooking the golf course, an urban oasis, with an outdoor TV, Weber Genesis grill, Cuisinart heat lamp for those chilly nights plus all sorts of other goodies. Head downstairs to the handsomely finished basement with exposed beams which is all set up for a comfortable and cozy multi-purpose room for Superbowl parties, exercise, movie night, or whatever else your heart desires. Included on this level is a new powder room, large cedar closet, a utility room with a state-of-the-art combination boiler instant hot water unit, convenient wash sink and large storage closets, plus a full-size LG washer and dryer set. Head out the basement door to a shady fenced area under the deck for relaxing or a pet hangout with LED light sensors. Found down a private driveway with no egress behind the home, there is a 1-car garage with additional parking directly behind it for another car including very clever folding bollards to secure your space. On the 2nd floor, you will find three lovely bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms share a renovated hall bath with Kohler fixtures and a Kohler jacuzzi tub. The main bedroom has a new ensuite bath with Moen fixtures, an outfitted walk-in closet, an opening skylight, plus two additional closets with organizers. Other wonderful features are all front windows are new by Marvin, all exterior doors have been replaced or updated, and the basement has French drains throughout with a vapor barrier and sump pump so you will never have to worry about water issues. Mini splits throughout offer zoned air conditioning and supplemental heat. The automatic front lawn mower keeps the Zoysia grass looking sharp and the recent exterior painting and pointing is all up to date. Not to mention that commuters will love the neighborhood because of the easy access to City Center via the SEPTA train at the Bala station, and multitudes of services including grocery shopping, boutiques and restaurants are nearby.
