Wonderful opportunity to own a mid-sized single residence in a prime Top-of-the-Hill location! Circa 1925 this handsome three-story stucco colonial offers a living room with a stone fireplace and two doors that lead to an open front porch with a wall of planters and views of the professional landscaped grounds. You will find a large dining room with ample extra space to watch the included mounted TV. There is a sunny kitchen with attractive cabinetry, butcher block countertop, ceramic tile backsplash, KitchenAid refrigerator & dishwasher, GE range and Viking microwave. The property offers a convenient first floor laundry room with Whirlpool washer & dryer plus a rear exit that leads to the roomy Ipi Brazilian wood deck and sweet rear garden. On the second floor there are three bedrooms that include the lovely main bedroom with a mounted TV, an updated full bathroom with tile, wainscoting and tub/shower, a second bedroom with built-in bed, desk and cabinets and a third bedroom that includes two magnetic porcelain enameled steel white wall boards. On the third floor is a bedroom/craft room that runs the length of the house and offers original built-in drawers & closets and includes a sink with running water. The property includes central air condition and Sonos sound equipment plus a full unfinished basement with powder room and good storage space. The former detached three-car garage is a very special feature of this property. You will find usable space that measures 33' x 21' and includes a front door entrance, HVAC system and powder room. This would make the perfect home office , work shop, exercise room or a myriad of other uses based on the new owner's needs. If you still want to use the garage to park your car, there is a bay with automatic opener for one vehicle plus the grounds allow for plenty of additional off street parking. Just one block off of Germantown Ave this location is hard to beat! So many desirable amenities - stroll to the quaint shops, dine at the many local eateries, enjoy summertime concerts in Pastorius Park or hike along the gorgeous trails of the Wissahickon Valley to name just a few.
