This home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated by the owners. The entire house has been freshly repainted, almost all windows replaced (2023), an expansive back deck and porch roof built (2023), silver coat on the roof (2024), new HVAC system installed (2026), new water heater (2023), and a french drain, sump pit, and sump pump installed in the basement (2026). Located on a friendly block with long-time neighbors, 231 Sumac is just an 8 min walk to Wissahickon Regional Rail stop and 10 min walk to the Ridge Ave Transit Center. Move-in ready and well cared for, this is a wonderful opportunity to make this home yours in one of Northwest Philadelphia’s most beloved neighborhoods.
