    What's special

    Welcome to Roxborough—where charm meets convenience! Step inside this beautiful move-in ready end-unit brick row home, lovingly maintained by the same family for four decades. From the moment you enter, you'll feel the warmth of a home that has been cared for with pride. Bright, Open, and Inviting The traditional carpeted first-floor layout welcomes you as you walk in. Hardwood floors are hidden beneath the existing carpet, just waiting to shine. Sunlight pours into the spacious living room through the bay window, the dining room, and the eat-in kitchen, creating a bright and airy atmosphere—ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Character & Comfort in Every Corner Nestled at the intersection of Houghton Street and Gerhard Street, this home offers a sense of space and community in a cozy neighborhood. The kitchen exudes its original charm, boasting ample cabinet storage and stainless steel appliances. Just a few modern touches from the new owner will elevate the space, with easy access to the clean and dry basement providing additional flexibility. Room to Grow & Endless Possibilities The first floor offers a welcoming flow, while the second floor houses a well-preserved bathroom and three bedrooms with built-in closets. The clean and dry basement presents a fantastic opportunity for storage or a workspace—equipped with laundry facilities and a summer/winter hot water hook-up through the home’s heating system. Over the years, thoughtful updates—including windows, a newer garage door, fresh paint, and kitchen flooring—have enhanced the home’s appeal, setting the stage for the next owner to make it their own. Prime Location & Added Perks Situated in the Cook-Wissahickon School catchment (Grades K-8), this home provides easy access to public transportation (9 & 27 bus routes plus nearby regional rail), the Ridge Avenue business district, Main Street Manayunk, and Philadelphia’s iconic Fairmount Park system, including the Walnut Lane Golf Course. The attached 1.5-car garage and well-maintained side yard with multiple garden beds add an extra touch of convenience and curb appeal. This package comes together with the assurance of a 1-year Home Warranty from the Sellers to the new Buyers. This charming gem won’t stay on the market for long—schedule your visit today!
