5447 Ridge Ave

Philadelphia, PA 19128

Welcome home to 5447 Ridge Ave, a delightful 5 bedroom twin located in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia. The location is ideal for those looking to be in walking distance to their favorite local restaurants and shops. Acme grocery store, Wendy's and the local favorite C&C Creamery are just a short walk away. Both the Wissahickon Train Station and Main Street Manayunk's restaurants are less than a mile away. From the moment you approach the front door, you wil fall in love with the large covered patio and the brick exterior, both charming characteristics that will never go out of style. Step inside to the beautiful vestibule complete with slate tile flooring before entering into the gorgeous living room. The wood work in this area is an absolute dream with the plank ceiling, wainscoting on the walls and the gleaming hardwood floors. The open staircase adds an extra pop of character and also includes extra bench seating below. A gas fireplace with reclaimed wood mantel is the ideal spot to cozy up to during these cold winter months. Continue into the open dining / kitchen area, great for those who enjoy entertaining dinner guests. We love the curved ceiling in the dining alcove which easily fits a large dining table and a buffet table if desired. The kitchen receives excellent natural light from the three large windows. The kitchen comes complete with shaker cabinetry, a breakfast bar with butcher block counter tops, stainless steel appliances and an exposed brick wall as a fun, focal piece behind the gas range and hood vent. Additional appliances include a french door refrigerator, wine fridge and a dishwasher. The breakfast bar provides seating for quick meals on the go or is the perfect snack hub during parties. There is even more storage for dry goods in the walk-in pantry. A second staircase leads from the back of the kitchen to the second floor for convenience. Behind the kitchen sits the first floor laundry which features additional cabinetry for storage and a sink that sits between the washer and dryer hook-ups. A first floor powder room is tucked away in this area as well. This area acts as a mudroom with the direct access to the backyard (no more trekking muddy shoes throughout the home). The backyard was designed for entertaining in mind! Enjoy the large deck, featuring a built-in area for a gas range and large flower bed (great for those with a green thumb). Steps lead up to the open grassy space providing room for more seating or use for those with furry family members. Three bedrooms are located on the second floor with a nicely renovated full bath. The full bath comes complete with a tiled, walk-in shower, updated flooring and a dual sink vanity. Each bedrooms comes complete with excellent natural light, ceiling fans and gorgeous hardwood flooring. Two additional bedrooms and second full bath are located on the third floor. Currently one of the bedrooms on this level is being utilized as a large, walk-in closet, and the other as a den with a bar area (could also be ideal to use as a home office or gym). New water tank installed in 2018. If you are looking for a move-in ready home with loads of character, this is a must see! Why wait? Schedule your private tour today!
