Ridge Avenue and Main Street Manayunk are both within walking distance of your new home. You will experience the Ridge Avenue destination that includes new restaurants, shops, Gorgas Park, local events and so much more. Then a stones through away is Manayunk which is one of Philadelphia’s landmark gems that borders the Schuylkill River. The heart and soul of the community is Main Street with many restaurants, boutiques, bars, and galleries… a bustling trendy neighborhood with a small-town vibe! Did I mention you are within walking distance to both! Now lets talk about the amazing features of your new home. First is an attached garage, an additional two-car driveway, plus a large backyard… all three are just priceless amenities for a city location!

Both rooms are pleasantly sized and can accommodate large gatherings. The kitchen has been totally renovated with gorgeous wood cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. The outside patio and backyard are accessed from the original 1970s kitchen door. The second floor features a renovated hall bath (which was gutted down to the studs and rebuilt), large primary bedroom with two double closets and a third single closet for plenty of storage, plus two additional bedrooms of which one could be used as an office. A very special note - there are original hardwood floors under the carpets. As we move to the lower level you will find the laundry area with laundry sink, utility area, walk-out access to the garage that has a 13x8 covered area. Also on this level is the 2010 constructed family room and powder room. As this level has its own entrance, this space could be used as an additional bedroom, office space or guest area!
