241 Rector St, Philadelphia, PA 19128

One of the finest homes in Manayunk opens its doors on Friday! The custom updates offered in this home make it truly stand out from the rest. Considered to be one of the nicest streets in Manayunk by many, Rector St. is a level and wide street with parking on either side, and is in close proximity to Main St; enjoy the wide variety of restaurants and shops, or take a stroll on the towpath, just minutes away! Distinctive features include custom built-in cabinetry and shelving, new luxury vinyl tile throughout (9/20), a "bonus" closet with organization system, two outdoor living areas that are a true extension of the living space, a fully fenced-in rear yard and stunning views of the Philadelphia skyline from your windows. The owner made some well thought-out upgrades, and it is evident in the paint colors, flooring and fixture selections. When you pull up, you will notice the welcoming curb appeal with a framed flower bed and cozy covered front porch with recently installed ceiling fan. Open the door to find an open, light filled space, with updated LVT flooring, ceiling fan, pleasant paint color, and the true "WOW" of this room-the updated fireplace facade and custom built-in cabinets and shelving (9/22)- perfect for decor, storage, and an additional counter space when entertaining! Pass through the arched entry to the hub of the home where the dining area connects nicely with the kitchen by way of a granite peninsula. Tasteful gray cabinets, SS appliances, glass tile backsplash and a nearby pantry makes for a well rounded kitchen- the peninsula adds to the counter space significantly! The dining room is spacious enough for a large table (and also features a storage/coat closet), and the openness between the rooms and convenient access to the deck makes this a home where you will want to entertain! Through the newer back door (1/22) with built-in blinds/screen door is a spacious deck with pergola accents, built-in seating, and plenty of space for a large table. Down a few steps into your fully fenced rear yard and a dedicated BBQ space, as well as ample storage underneath the deck. A gate to the rear alleyway offers another point of access. The upper level leaves you with that clean, move-in ready feeling, between the flooring, paint colors, updated lighting, and a bonus hall closet with custom organization; the owner has maximized every inch of space in this home! A full bath with tub and tile complete this level, but don't forget to check out the views of the Philly skyline from the bedrooms windows! The basement is currently being used for laundry and a workout space, but another bonus- there is a toilet already installed that could easily be turned into a powder room should you finish the basement; there are Bilco doors for egress and the ceilings are high to make finishing a possibility! There's more: New 8,000BTU Air Conditioner in the main bedroom (8/17)/new 15,000BTU Air Conditioner (main level-6/19), new PVC stack pipe (11/17), new roof (4/18), new hot water heater (3/19), extensive electrical work (10/19), radiator covers- see attached list for upgrades and maintenance items.  Ideally located: There is a bus stop on the corner and TWO nearby train stations for an easy commute to Center City. Manayunk Pizza at the corner is yet another perk! Pretzel Park, running paths, Main St...the list goes on! The location, layout and turn-key nature of this home makes it a value packed buy- schedule your appointment today!
