Description

Welcome to gorgeous Glenside Ave! A bright and airy twin in the heart of the highly sought-after Glenside neighborhood. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom has been thoughtfully renovated so you can move right in. The curb appeal really makes this delightful property stand out. There is a large private driveway that fits up to three cars comfortably. The porch pulls you in, a perfect place to enjoy coffee. Head inside through the original multi-pane solid wood door, with a carved soapstone door handle, and a classic mortis lock. It's these original details that make this home stand out. The home is flooded with light thanks to the open floor plan and the many windows, all which were replaced in 2021. The living room greets you with hardwood floors and stylish brass sconces. The dining room has a custom room length bench for storage as well as seating for your long dining room table. This allows for the other side of the dining room to be open for other uses like your bar area or a place for your record player and record collection to be displayed. The kitchen is a chef's dream. The first thing you notice is the hand painted Italian sunflower tiles installed by the original owners and preserved over the life of this 100-year-old house. The 8-foot-long island serves as your breakfast bar, additional ample storage, and the ideal place to prep all of your meals. There is a huge farmhouse sink under a south facing window to check out the stunning view of the back yards, open shelving to display your beautiful glass collection, and all of the appliances are from 2021. The back door, replaced in 2025, leads you out to the stoop that overlooks not only your property, but you can see all the way to the creek a few yards over. The neighbors have kept an open flow in the back yards so everyone can enjoy the wonderful views of nature. The large back patio is a great place for your herb container garden and summer BBQs, and overlooks the charming yard. The walkout basement is accessible from the back-patio stairs or through the kitchen. There you will find newly built stairs (2025), new lime-based parging (2024) and painting that keeps the space completely dry, and a newly built bathroom with a brand-new toilet and sink with a storage area. There is also plenty of room in the bathroom to put the laundry back in the basement. You'll also find a tankless hot water heater (2021) as well as the completely updated panel and electrical system (2021). Back upstairs on the second floor there are three bedrooms and one completely renovated (with new plumbing included) (2022) bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently set up as the laundry room for convenience, but can easily be converted back into a bedroom and the laundry moved to the basement. The bathroom has an oversized (6 feet long!) soaking tub and beautiful blue tile to relax you and make you feel like you're floating in the ocean. The partially finished attic is the topper of this lovely home. It can be used as an office space, workout room, or even another bedroom. In the attic there is also an unfinished portion that is great for storage. Along with the updates mentioned, there are mini splits throughout the property that were installed in 2021, and the stone foundation was repointed in 2024. All of these updates make for a turnkey property! The location is a huge plus to this property. Located a 5-minute walk to the Glenside train station you can get to downtown Philly with ease. It's also walkable to the local Glenside hits like popular Grove Park, Elcy's Café, Rocky's Deli, The Ways Brewery, Bills Best Brewery, and Primex Garden Center. It's also a short drive to The Kewsick Village where you can find the Keswick Theater, Roosters, Elia Greek Cuisine, and Penny's Florals to name a few. The neighborhood community is very active with things happening all year like the annual food truck festival, the annual 4th of July parade, and fall bonfire. You don't want to miss seeing this one!

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.
