Discover the charm of this beautifully maintained twin home in the desirable Blue Bell Hill neighborhood. Built in 1900, this traditional gem boasts 1,764 sq. ft. of energy-efficient living space, featuring three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main level open floor plan seamlessly connects the living and dining areas, enhanced by hardwood flooring and built-in bookshelves that add character. The light-filled kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a high-efficiency induction range, and plenty of counter space. Step outside to enjoy the serene backyard, ideal for gardening, relaxation, or entertaining. The property includes a shed for additional storage and a patio for outdoor dining. If you think this looks like other more than 100-year-old twins, this is a one-of-a-kind twin. The current owners decided to remove all natural gas appliances and the gas-fired boiler and add solar panels to create a 100% electric home. This has reduced the home's energy costs, improved the air quality, and reduced the carbon footprint to a minimum. Located in a vibrant community, residents benefit from proximity to Fairmount Park (across the street), nearby schools, and easy access to downtown Philadelphia. Enjoy leisurely strolls along the Wissahickon Creek and the warmth of a welcoming neighborhood. This home is not just a place to live; it reflects a lifestyle waiting to be embraced. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
