    What's special

    Brick homeRear balconyRecessed lightingGlass tile backsplashBright front windowDecorative fireplace with mantelLuxury vinyl plank flooring
    Welcome to 5540 Miriam Road, a brick home offering three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a finished lower level, and something most Philadelphia homes cannot promise: your own off-street parking spot out back. A fenced front garden and patio set it apart before you reach the door. Inside, the living room features luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, a bright front window, and a decorative fireplace with mantel that gives the room a natural focal point. The dining area continues the same flooring and includes a built-in cove alcove, a nice spot for a hutch, a bar, or a reading chair. The kitchen has been updated with white shaker cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and large format tile flooring, with a door leading out to the rear balcony. A full bathroom on this level is a genuine convenience that homes this size rarely offer. Upstairs, three bedrooms all feature hardwood floors, two with ceiling fans and lights, and the front bedroom pulls in light from a wide triple window. The full hall bath is nicely updated with large format tile floors, a tiled step-in shower, partial tile walls, and a single sink vanity. The finished lower level adds real living space, finished in parquet hardwood with a painted brick accent wall running alongside the stairs. Down here you will also find a third full bathroom with tile floors, a step-in shower, and a single sink vanity, plus the laundry area and a door leading directly out to your parking spot. Three bedrooms, three full baths, a finished basement, and off-street parking. That combination is hard to find at this price point. Schedule your showing today.
