Super spacious, three-story townhome in the highly desirable Reserve at Packer Park, a 235-unit development in South Philadelphia offering suburban living in an urban setting. The Reserve is private, quiet and safe, and is conveniently situated near sports and entertainment venues, public transportation, major highways, parks, shopping and the airport. Accented by warm and welcoming decor, this traditional-style home boasts five bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. Besides the living room and dining room, the first floor features hardwood flooring, a gourmet kitchen, light-cherry cabinets, granite countertops, an extended island, a double oven, and an attached dining area large enough to comfortably accommodate a table for eight and extra wall and base cabinets. Also on the first floor is a powder room and two closets, one of which contains a switch that controls receptacles under each of the nine windows facing the street. The so-called holiday package enables simultaneous activation of holiday lights on each window sill. On the second floor are a master en suite with his and her walk-in closets and a ceramic-tiled bathroom sporting a walk-in shower and a Roman tub. Also on the second floor are two other bedrooms and a hall bath that sits across from the laundry room. On the third floor are the fourth and fifth bedrooms — each with wall-to-wall closets — and a white-tiled bathroom. Two more closets are in the hallway separating the bedrooms, and there’s additional storage space in the attic, where a whole-house fan keeps the dwelling, and especially the third floor, cool and comfortable, and helps to lower utility bills. Other amenities include crown molding; wainscoting on the first floor, staircase and second-floor hallway; custom drapes and shades; front and back sprinkler systems; and a backyard with a concrete stone patio, a stone fire pit, two gardens and the AC condenser, a 4-ton unit installed in 2018 (simultaneous with a new furnace). Front yard features an expansive lawn and two gardens. Illumination from under-soffit floodlights provides nighttime security and protection. A three-car driveway leads to a garage containing 9 feet of wall and base cabinets for storage of dry goods, paper products, tools and what-have-you. Home is across the street from FDR Park, an idyllic haven for picnickers, anglers, joggers, bikers and dog walkers. The park features several baseball fields maintained by the Phillies youth program, tennis courts and soccer fields. Less than a mile away are the Marconi Plaza, covering 19 acres, and the Navy Yard, where you can bike, run, and fish; play ping-pong or bocce ball; lie in a hammock; take a leisurely stroll along the Delaware, and more. The Sports Complex is within walking distance. Even closer are SEPTA bus and subway stops, and the Eagles practice facility is just outside the development. Those traveling by car have almost immediate access to the Expressway, I-95 and Walt Whitman Bridge. And for those flying out of town, the airport is only seven minutes away. Sale by owner only. “Buyer’s broker-protected.” Prospective buyers must be pre-approved. Contact info: 215-422-2215. kasperv@comcast.net
