565 Martin St

Beautiful, wide, airy, high-ceilinged twin in convenient Roxborough location. Close to hiking and biking trails in the Wissahickon, Valley; walking distance to shopping and dining on Ridge Ave; and easy commuting in car, bus, or rail. The house is move-in ready. Nearly 1500 square feet of space spread over two stories. This is what you want: sizeable rooms, plenty of light, good storage capacity, and great outside space. From the wide sidewalk, climb the stairs to a charming covered front porch. This is Philly living at its finest. In any season, you can sit on your perch above the street and watch the world go by, or meet neighbors on the porch for a casual get together. Once inside, you'll see that the architectural details of this classic brick twin are intact, but everything is fresh and updated. The living room is capacious with space for the family-sized sectional and more. The dining room is big enough to host the Thanksgiving feast, and the kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and classic white cabinetry. At the back of the kitchen is a multi-purpose room that houses the laundry and a newer full bath, as well as extra storage . Out the back door to the patio, you'll find beautiful perennials in bloom and a "clover" lawn to cut down on maintenance. Up the original staircase , you'll find three good-sized bedrooms and another full bath with a tub/shower combination. There is a surprise on the second floor; a walk-in closet with a window, that could potentially be another living space, but who would ever give up a walk-in closet! The unfinished basement gives you plenty of storage and the ability to expand you living space. New main roof in 2022. New furnace in 2022. Waste line in 2021. High end dehumidifier installed in 2021 as a preventive measure. Make your showing appointment today. This one won't last long.
