As featured on HGTV's House Hunters, this 4-bedroom, 2-full/1-half-bath Manayunk residence welcomes with an inviting front porch and continues inside with 9-foot ceilings, hardwood flooring throughout the first floor, original custom millwork, and a beautifully detailed staircase with storage that anchors the home’s timeless design. The main living spaces offer warmth, scale, and an effortless flow for both daily living and entertaining. An open dining area leads to the eat-in kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, a peninsula, large windowsills for natural light, and easy access to the rear. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a fully fenced backyard featuring a patio, fire-pit area, and storage. Rare two-car rear parking adds significant convenience.

Upstairs, 3 bedrooms offer versatility for guests, work-from-home needs, or family living, while conveniently located second-floor laundry enhances everyday functionality. The top-floor primary loft is a true retreat, with generous proportions, a skylight, a feature exposed brick wall, and a serene sense of scale. The finished lower level provides an exceptional extension of the home, complete with a dry bar and wine fridge, electric fireplace, custom built-ins framing the TV area, and expansive additional living space and storage. Ideally positioned just moments from the Wissahickon Trail, Ridge Avenue favorites, and the restaurants, shops, and energy of Manayunk’s Main Street, 229 Roxborough Avenue offers distinctive city living with space, style, and access to nature.
