    What's special

    Location, location, location. You will not find a more affordable home of this size in the PENN ALEXANDER school catchment area.(The home next door recently sold for over 367K.) Live on one of the most sought after, tree-lined streets in the Spruce Hill section of West Philly, just steps from Clark Park and the shops, cafes, restaurants, of Baltimore Avenue. Enter the enclosed sun porch to find original inlaid oak floors, living room, full dining room, and a cozy European-style breakfast room. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. The enclosed garage with automatic opener and driveway means 2-car parking and in the shared driveway behind the homes, closed to outside traffic, families often gather. The large basement has ample storage including cedar closet and a small powder room. This home has many lovely details and the location cannot be beat. It's just waiting for its next owners to move in and put on the finishing touches to make it their own.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
