So much bigger than you think!! This lovely, compact 3 bedroom, 2 full bath detached home in the midst of Andorra's residential neighborhood is a surprise: a split level spacious residence with 5 levels including the lower level--all beautifully finished with 2 large extra rooms that can be family rooms, studios or in-home office space. The top level is perfectly suited as a primary bedroom with its own bath. Here's the floor plan: 1st floor: Open plan living area and dining area with ceiling fan and gleaming hardwood floors, lead to a kitchen that is perfect for the serious cook. It has the desired triangle of refrigerator, sink and stove/oven, more than enough counter space to produce a feast, and dishwasher and garbage disposal as well. Best of all, from the kitchen, one can exit through glass sliders to the rather wondrous back yard with patio, perennial gardens and green lawn. At the back of the large yard is a large shed which has electric service and is big enough to accommodate a work shop and garden tools, too. The second floor of the house offers two nice-sized bedrooms, each with ceiling fan and double-large closet; full bath with ceramic tile and shower over tub. The third level provides a the perfect family room/studio with northern light on your way up to the top level which is perfect as the primary bedroom with good closet and its own full bath with shower stall. A lower level provides more living space with a finished large room--great for TV room/play room/in-home office?--and an unfinished section for utilities and work space. Multiple spaces with multiple, flexible uses! All located on a .15 acre lot on a quiet, broad street. Parking on street is easy. All the trails of the Wissahickon section of Fairmount Park are a short hike away, and a beloved playground area for kids is just steps around the corner. Easy access to Center City or to the Turnpike. Please note two things: 1) that the City of Philadelphia has just raised tax assessments across the city for 2023. The new assessment for 8733 Wissahickon Avenue is $275,900 which would calculate to approximately $3,862/yr in 2023; and 2) the public record shows the house size as 1,176 square feet. We estimate the actual square footage to be closer to 1,600 square feet. Showings start Saturday, 5/14/2022. Quick settlement possible. 2022-05-19
