Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom brick home located in the desirable Cedarbrook section of Philadelphia. This established neighborhood is known for its convenient access to shopping, public transportation, and nearby green spaces, offering residents a comfortable and connected lifestyle. Step through the charming vestibule entrance and into an expansive living room filled with natural light. The main level features freshly sanded and stained original hardwood floors that add warmth and character throughout. A formal dining room with a ceiling fan provides the perfect setting for everyday meals or entertaining guests. The kitchen is finished with tile flooring and equipped with a refrigerator and gas range, with a convenient access door leading to the lower level. Upstairs you will find three well proportioned bedrooms, each featuring ceiling fans, closets, and beautiful hardwood flooring. The primary bedroom offers dual closets for added storage. The full bathroom includes both a stall shower and a bathtub, along with a newly installed skylight designed to enhance natural light while preventing future leaks. The lower level provides excellent versatility and additional storage. This space includes laundry with washer and dryer, a cedar closet, and a newly updated mechanical system featuring a high efficiency Weil McLain flameless boiler that has been professionally maintained each year. The water heater is also new. Basement paneling has been removed to provide full visibility of the structure and allow future owners the opportunity to customize the space, including the potential for finishing the 1/2 bathroom and living area. Outside, the property offers a rare convenience for the area with a garage and two car driveway parking, along with newly installed rear doors providing direct access to the back of the home. The home has been thoughtfully maintained with numerous recent improvements, including brick pointing completed in 2023 and a recently repainted interior. A new roof with a transferable warranty beginning in 2026 and upgraded downspouts further enhance the long term durability of the home. This inviting residence combines classic Philadelphia charm with meaningful upgrades and practical features, creating an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a well cared for home in a vibrant Philadelphia community.
