Description
AMAZING SPACE! Welcome to this charming, ALL STONE 4 BR/ 2 FULL bath and a 1/4 bath classic single in the ever popular ARONIMINK section of DH!! It's all good things wrapped up in one! Besides the very evident curb appeal, especially now that Spring has sprung , the grass has turned green and the colors have gotten so vibrant , it really is inviting. This home shows off a classic colonial interior, yet the exterior exudes a Tudor vibe all it's own -a little stucco, some wood trim & pointed roof tops at the front overhang, atop the covered porch and on the main roof itself. Certainly a stand out, architecturally speaking! Another unique feature of this home is the parquet wood flooring t/o. Picture this type of floor w/a sanding and a new stain of your choice, so you can accent it with your favorite area rugs & create a nice, warm feeling for your new home . We don't see much of this expensive wood artistry any more . It was a costly upgrade when these home were built back in 1936! Over $40,000 has been spent over the last year or so in plumbing,, electrical, painting, parging, pressure washing of the whole exterior & stonework, making sure this home is in great shape so the new buyer(s) can move in and enjoy. Other amenities include lots of CF's, front door mail slot, 5 window air conditioners, recessed radiators, crystal door knobs, a newer electric service in the garage, good closets, freshly painted walls & trim in neutral tones, upstairs cedar closet, many deep window sills, an exterior stone chimney from top to bottom on the side of the house & a fireplace in the LR which was checked & serviced in 2019 and not used since. At the time, a new chimney cap was installed with a manufacturer's lifetime warranty. There is a non-working fireplace in the clean, recently parged & painted, unfinished basement, You could see it's decorative potential if you ever decided to finish the lower level. A French door opens to the pretty, roofed ,side porch. How private it is to sit here, catch the goings' on while being shielded a bit from Cornell Ave.. When you are relaxing here, you have a view of the long, shared driveway. But wait! There's more !! There is a private parking spot off to the side of the d/way just for you, that faces the integral one car garage. Also, the neighbors have carved out little spaces off the d/way for themselves, so there is plenty of room. The black & white primary bath just got a remake on the floor tile, the shower tile and new fixtures after replacing the cracked soil stack. Take note of the large eat-in kitchen, which is a great size, & features stainless appliances, a neutral tiled floor, warm looking cabinetry, a brand new garbage disposal and granite counter tops. The arched shelves at the end of the counter near the table is designed to hold your napkins, condiments or whatever you need while at the table. There is an exit door here to the fenced back porch area and spacious garage w/newer door w/a remote. The DR boasts a CR & two sets of triple windows..one large & one small. Four good-sized bedrooms can be found on the 2nd floor, as well as a hall bath, updated w/a newer sink & toilet. The walls around the tub/shower area show off white tile. There is another bath in the primary BR. All the bedrooms boast a CF & good closet space. Check out the stairs to the huge walk-up attic! One side is carpeted. On the other side, the floors are bare wood. Start planning now for what you could do w/this area..an office, a teen space, or extra BR's. The possibilities are endless! The high, open rafters add a great touch, or just utilize it for storage. The Laundry is in the LL. This place has been thoroughly &professionally deep cleaned just prior to listing. CONVENIENCE IS KEY! #1024 is close to several shopping centers w/big box stores, yet far enough away to avoid congestion. Smaller shops and eateries abound as well. The trolley helps to get you to Center City or Media. MAKE THIS ONE YOURS!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
