Attached Garage for one car plus a driveway for Multi-Car PARKING. Also a large, dry basement with excellent ceiling height-- ideal for re-finishing (also with an additional 1/2 bath that is not included in the bath count above). Just three blocks to the Wissahickon trails, Carpenter Woods, and Mt. Airy Villagean A+ location. This home has a new 50-year asphalt shingle roof (Russell Roofing installed in September 2023 with full warranty) and newer 2-zone HVAC system (April 2019 with warranty through 4/2029). Other than these systems, the home and pool need significant upgrading and would be a perfect candidate for a renovation and addition.

Enjoy peaceful street presence while remaining moments from nature, everyday conveniences, and excellent transit options.
