This stylishly renovated home with off-street parking is in an ideal Elmwood Park location. Great natural light (even in the finished basement), custom wood accents, plush carpet and espresso-colored flooring create a warm, comfortable vibe. Stately double doors lead into a wide living room that flows into the dining area, while a coat closet keeps the working kitchen tucked away--a nice alternative to the typical straight-through rowhome layout. A shiplap wall accent designates the dining area and ties into the kitchen with a matching custom range hood. The kitchen features its own textured subway tile wall accent that pairs nicely with the white Shaker-style cabinets and white quartz countertops. Additional entertaining/lounging space is in the walk-out basement, which is fully finished with a cute powder room with pedestal sink, plus plenty of storage as well as laundry hookups on this level. Walk directly out the rear entrance to access your own off-street parking. Exercise your green thumb out front and add curb appeal; the tiered front porch offers two levels for container gardening. Back inside, beadboard wainscoting lines the staircase to the second floor with three bedrooms and stylish bathroom. The largest is in the front, with dual closets flanking a niche perfect for housing a dresser or vanity. There's another nicely sized bedroom and one that would make the perfect work-from-home space. The hall bath is a study in gray, with oversize charcoal hex tile floors, sleek pale gray vanity and gray tile tub surround, plus a reclaimed floating wood shelf that really pops. This home is in a quiet section of Southwest Philly convenient to SEPTA as well as I95, and nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge and Cobbs Creek Park.
