The suite features a large walk in closet and a spa inspired bath with a soaking tub, glass enclosed shower, double vanity, and heated tile floors. Above, the expansive rooftop deck spans the length of the home and is equipped with lighting, electricity, and water, ideal for entertaining or container gardening. In 2025, the owner invested in a premium Duradek vinyl membrane roof system and new siding, offering superior long term waterproofing and supported by a 15 year manufacturer warranty. Ideally located, this home provides seamless access to Center City and the suburbs. It is a short walk to SEPTA Regional Rail, with nearby access to express bus routes 27 and 9 into Center City, and just minutes from I 76. With 2 gated parking spaces, convenience is always assured. Enjoy close proximity to Manayunk, Roxborough, and Chestnut Hill with a vibrant and growing dining scene, including local favorites such as Pizza Jawn, White Yak, Market at the Fareway, Weavers Way Co op, the Pretzel Park Farmers Market, and Dead King Bread. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, Towpath, and Wissahickon Valley Park.
