Two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom with classic subway tile and a tub/shower combo complete the second floor. Continue up to the large walk-up attic that offers endless possibilities—storage, a creative studio, or finish it for even more living area.
The clean and dry basement houses the laundry and provides tons of additional storage. Outside, enjoy the flat, landscaped yard and a detached garage that currently serves as a workshop—complete with electricity and the potential for heat. It's a dream space for hobbyists, artists, or anyone needing extra storage.
The location is just minutes from the YMCA, parks, library, local schools, and Lansdowne’s charming downtown with restaurants and shops. It is conveniently located near several SEPTA stops making for easy access to Center City Philadelphia, Media, and so much more!
