Discover a rarely-found gem in Philadelphia that combines modern living with timeless charm in a country setting. This 3-bedroom home backs up to the serene Pennypack Park, offering stunning creek views, miles of bike trails, and trout fishing right in your backyard. Enjoy the welcoming front porch and a bright, sunny open floor plan. Three generously-sized bedrooms and a large 4-piece full bath on the second floor provide ample space for comfort. Outside offers a tranquil retreat with a large rear deck and brick patio overlooking a spacious yard, perfect for enjoying ultimate privacy and the natural beauty of the park and creek. This property also includes a small horse barn that can be converted into a studio, adding to its unique appeal. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a touch of country living in the city, complete with convenient off-street parking. The home also has a professionally installed high-quality, triple wall stainless steel chimney specifically designed for wood -burning stoves. The new owner would just need to add a wood-burning stove and the pipe that goes from the stove to the chimney, or the chimney can be easily removed if a wood-burning stove is not desired. With easy access to public transit and major routes, this home is a rare find you won't want to miss!
