This sunny Bella Vista home is coming to market a little sooner than its owners planned... and it's a rare find. The Sellers installed hardwood floors throughout as the first of several upgrades they had in mind. Now that vision is yours to continue. The location speaks for itself: close to the Italian Market, neighborhood parks, Whole Foods and some of Philadelphia's best restaurants. Inside you will find 3 generous bedrooms upstairs, as well as a flex space on the main level that could be turned into a 4th. A true open floor plan, with a kitchen at its heart, makes keeping an eye on the kids or entertaining a breeze. Two outdoor spaces, an attached 1-car garage and Meredith catchment make this beauty hard to pass up!
