Description

Tucked away on a quiet one-way street in Roxborough, this hidden gem offers rare privacy and charm just steps from vibrant city living. A paved path winds through a certified wildlife habitat, leading to a secluded, sun-drenched patio with panoramic views of Manayunk and Belmont Hills. The expansive stone terrace is a true outdoor oasis, complete with dedicated garden and grilling areas—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. With a Walk Score of 91, the location blends convenience and lifestyle—just minutes from Ridge Avenue’s essentials (groceries, banks, Stanley’s Hardware, dining) and Manayunk’s Main Street as well as the farmers market and Parks on Tap at Pretzel Park. Inside, the open-concept main floor is filled with natural light and features gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The spacious kitchen includes generous granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, a granite island with pendant lighting, built-in display shelving, and sliding doors to the patio. The finished basement offers a half bath and flexible space currently used as a family room, home gym, workshop, and bike storage. Upstairs, two versatile bedrooms provide smart functionality—one with a Murphy bed that converts into a desk and access to a private balcony with sweeping city views. The hall bath features ceramic tile, a granite vanity, and custom shower shelving. The second bedroom includes a ceiling fan and ample closet space. The third-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath featuring double vanities, marble floors, and a custom marble shower. Laundry is conveniently located in a closet in the hallway. Additional highlights include 2-zoned HVAC, a brand-new roof (2025), and easy access to public transit, bike paths, highways, the Main Street movie theater, and all that makes Philadelphia an exceptional place to call home.
