Description
Showings start Thursday! Welcome home to 3636 Taylor Ave, a stunning 3-bedroom stone colonial nestled in the Drexelbrook neighborhood of Drexel Hill. Not only has this home been impeccably maintained, it has also been nicely updated throughout, making it a true move-in ready home. Sitting on just shy of a quarter acre of land, this corner-lot provides oodles of open space for outdoor entertaining. This includes a stone firepit that can be used well into the Fall. For those who like easy walkability to local restaurants, coffee shops or the train, you will truly appreciate the location! The trolley is a block away and the train is in walking distance, making the commute to Center City easy. Located on a private, dead-end street, street parking is quite plentiful for guests and the driveway also includes another 2-3 spots of ample parking. Take a stroll down the stamped walkway which leads to the charming enclosed front porch. Inside you will find an absolute dream of an entry way. Dark, moody walls blend nicely with the stone accenting and gorgeous flooring. The glass sphere light fixture was newly added to this beautiful space. Step inside where you will find the sundrenched living room. All the hardwood flooring has been refinished with a warm honey finish, and the entire home has been freshly painted throughout. The neutral walls and flooring are sure to please any design taste and allow the perfect blank canvas for those who love a pop of color! The focal points of the living room are the crown molding and brick fireplace, which is flanked by two side windows, allowing even more natural light to stream inside. The fireplace features a wood mantel and a ventless gas log insert, making it easy to enjoy a fire on those chilly Fall/Winter nights. Continue into the spacious eat-in kitchen which includes a sunny breakfast nook area to enjoy those quick mid-week meals. The kitchen itself features contrasting grey Kraft-made cabinetry with a gorgeous taupe backsplash which blends nicely with the granite countertops. Recessed lighting was added, as well as under-cabinet accent lighting. The breakfast bar that was added not only provides additional seating and storage space, it also makes the ideal 'snack hub' when entertaining guests. Two metal bell pendant lights hand above the peninsula island for an added touch of character. Appliances include a stainless steel french-door refrigerator, dishwasher and a slide-in electric cook-top range. A glass panel door from the kitchen leads to the open yard, making outdoor entertaining a breeze. A conveniently placed full bathroom with a walk-in shower and laundry room are located on the first floor. Finishing up the main floor is the charming dining room and reading nook area. There are truly so many possibilities for this wonderful and large space. If needed, transform into an in-law suite, home office or a 4th bedroom. Upstairs you will find three sizable bedrooms and an updated full bath with a tub/shower. The first bedroom includes a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear yard with neutral carpeting and loads of windows. The second bedroom features refinished hardwood flooring, new light fixture and two large windows. The primary bedroom is sure to please with the neutral walls, hardwood flooring and two separate closets. The walk-up attic access is located in the primary suite and has been newly insulated. Just like the dining room, there are so many possibilities for this wonderful space. Create a home gym or yoga room, a private office or a massive walk-in closet. Not only has the home been cosmetically updated, the main systems are also all newer: oil tank is only six years old, there is a three zone HVAC system, updated electric and newer windows and doors throughout. The home can also easily be converted to full gas (already gas fireplace and water heater). If you are looking for a move-in ready home bursting with character, this is a must see!
