MARIANNE CAVEN

Description

A rare opportunity to enjoy a single home in Historic Manayunk, “Old Section”. Just a block above Main Street, which offers charm and attractions. This property is situated on a nice wide neighborhood street that is convenient to all major roadways in the area, regional rail lines, and bus services. This sturdy brick-over-stone home sits on a lot and a half, offering a quiet environment, privacy, and elbow room. The fenced front yard has been landscaped with mature greenery. A majestic stone wall and gate enhance the street's presence. Sitting high and dry, the beautiful front porch grants access to the home through the uniquely quaint original front door. The side entrance to the house is off the very large sturdy deck that offers a large parking space below, accessed from the rear street. Upon entering the front door you will find the spacious living room, with original hardwood flooring in superb condition. The adjacent new carpeting offers a warm touch leading up the quieter steps of the exceptional staircase. The living room flows directly into a very nice sized kitchen, with a dishwasher and garbage disposal. The refrigerator is recessed to gain uninterrupted floor space and storage shelving. The kitchen door exits out to steps down to the parking area and side yard. They also take you directly to the large deck for a relatively private area for almost anything you want to do. Just off the kitchen, you will find a secure door that will access a charming powder room. The swinging half door is atop the stairs to the amazing basement. The full length of the home, this basement offers huge storage options along with the ability to be utilized for other needs. The washer and dryer conveniently allow a great area for all laundry needs. The “rare to see” basement door, for a “walkout” to the driveway, makes easy access. For the second-floor living quarters, a pleasant view from the open staircase takes you to a large newly carpeted hall landing. The three bedrooms are laid out perfectly with a large front bedroom, adequate closets, along with a front three window bay and a side wall window. While standing on the newly refinished original hardwood floors, you will love it. The middle bedroom has a similar bay window a closet, and refinished hardwood flooring. The rear bedroom is another large bedroom with a closet two windows, and refinished hardwood flooring. There are two hall closets, one serves the bathroom and the other is a hall linen closet. The bathroom offers adequate abilities and a nice clean atmosphere, with a window and a hardwood floor to keep with warmth and charm of the house. The entire house enjoys an abundance of natural light.
