1119 Borbeck Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19111

Welcome to 1119 Borbeck Ave in Fox Chase, one of the safest communities in Philadelphia, that boarders Montgomery County. This is a smoke and pet free home. The location cannot be beat, as this stretch of Borbeck Ave sits on a section of the street that is one way and that can be best described as a pseudo "cul - de - sac". In the rear of the home is a shared alley with a few neighbors, that has a dead-end alley so there is NO through traffic, which makes for a perfect place for small ones to play. The back yard is a nice, quiet place to enjoy a roaring fire in the newly built fire pit (2024) and a summer BBQ. The backyard, side yard and front yard are completely fenced in so if you have a furry friend, all you need to do is open the door and let them out. When you enter this well-maintained home, you will immediately notice the bright light that streams through the large casement windows in the living room. The home enjoys a dining room, and the eat-in kitchen can accommodate a small table for four as well. The home has well maintained hardwood floors throughout all the rooms - the homeowners take great pride in their floors and would never consider wearing shoes in the house, so please remove your shoes or use the booties supplied. The kitchen includes ceramic tiled floors, a full side by side refrigerator, a disposal, and a dishwasher. The dishwasher will be replaced with a brand-new unit before closing. The three generous sized bedrooms all have their own ceiling fan with ample closet space. In the hallway you will find a large coat closet, a linen closet, and a full bathroom, has been remodeled recently and the sky light in the bathroom is from 2024. The skylight was replaced at the same time as the newly installed flat roof - by the way, the roof comes with a 10-year transferable warranty. As you make your way down to the basement level you will be surprised at how large the room is and the block windows allow plenty of natural daylight. Enjoy entertaining friends and family with your own built-in pub style bar, while still having space for little ones. For your convenience, a 1/2 bath is conveniently located next to the bar, where else would it be? The downstairs also include a large walk-in closet and a large laundry room with a linen closet, a washer and dryer, and an enclosed utility room (new hot water heater in 2020 and new High Efficiency HVAC in 2021). The downstairs bath and laundry room was also redone, with matching granite flooring. There is a rear door located in the laundry room that leads to the fenced-in yard with the new retaining wall and steps from 2023 and a driveway large enough for a full size super big SUV. The garage can be accessed from the driveway and does not have an interior access. The home has received a fresh coat of paint (living/dining/hall in 2021 and kitchen/full bath and two bedrooms in 2024) and is waiting for you to make this yours. Oh wait….this home is also in walking distance to the Fox Chase train station, that is ONLY a 20-minute train ride to Center City. You are also in walking distance to two schools, the Fox Chase Recreational Center that boasts multiple playing fields – a pool – tennis courts – basketball courts and hockey, a library, pharmacy, grocery, restaurants, pubs, Rita’s Water Ice, Dunkin, Wawa, and the historic Joseph’s Pizza Parlor! Take the bus? The 67 and 28 SEPTA bus is only a few blocks way. This home is conveniently located within minutes to Roosevelt Blvd., the Turnpike and 309. The smart Ecobee (2021) will stay with the new owners.
