START SMART! THE AFFORDABLE DREAM has arrived on the market! Drexel Park Gardens has been named the 'best bang for the buck' in Philadelphia Magazine! The seller has spent close to $15, 000 this Spring to upgrade this inviting home for the new owner(s)! Check out this Warner-West all brick end of row, sitting pretty on an easy to access, one-way street. Take note of the well manicured front yard w/ plush zoysia grass, fenced side yard (w/gates) that extends to the back area, BRAND NEW black-topped d/way (5/23) and newer concrete front steps to the front steel door and full view storm w/ triangular overhang. Step in to see the light and bright rooms, made possible by the fact it is an end home w/a large criss-cross picture window in front, 2 double windows on the side and an elongated casement and double window at the rear wall (all capped). There are 5 AC's to take you through a comfortable Summer. Many doors show off crystal door knobs. The carpeting that runs thru the LR, DR, up the steps and in the hallway is also BRAND NEW (5/23). The seller chose the medium grey color to blend with the walls. The open floor plan for the 1st floor between the Kitchen and DR makes family dinners and entertaining quite easy! There is a new light fixture in the DR, a peninsula w/lower cabinets separating the rooms, neutral walls, a shiny vinyl floor, recessed and under counter lights, wooden cabinets with s/s pulls, an alcove storage area, an Amana DW, a Kenmore gas stove, a microwave on the shelf and a side-by-side stainless fridge w/ice maker. Notice the coat closet at the bottom of the 2nd flr steps. Upstairs - 3 BR's and a ceramic-tiled. updated full bath. New tile was in stalled around the tub area and a good-sized white vanity sink, circular mirror and a new 3-light bar complement the wall. The linen closet sits just outside the hall bath. The primary BR shows off a CF and a high window on the side wall plus the double one in front. The entry to the lower level is from the DR. Wait till you see the freshly painted finished area, complete with storage under the steps, 2 closets (one houses the water meter), and a built-in counter with green ceramic tile and extra shelving underneath and on the side wall. The carpeting is Berber. This is a perfect spot for a home office, exercise area, a playroom, or for watching sports with friends. Even the laundry and appliance area walls and floor have been recently parged and painted. What's that shiny object you see?? It's a NEW Payne heater, just installed in 4/23! How great is that? No worries here! The Rheem hot water heater (2018) holds 50 gallons. A new cable was just added to the electric box in 4/23. The Kenmore washer and dryer are included! Out back is another surprise!... a new, fully black-topped, wide driveway (5/23) just in front of the 1-car integral garage w/ newer door. Part of the side yard is fenced w/2 gates. The rest is for open space. Within the gated space there is an area where there once was an above ground pool. Take advantage of this area, that could easily be one where a patio is placed , in privacy, for relaxing around the firepit with family and friends. One thing to note is that on much of Fariston Rd, the homes are twins, so parking could be more plentiful than on some other streets in the Gardens will all rows. The flat roof was silver coated 9/22. The Seller has generously offered to gift the new owner(s) with a 1-year HOME WARRANTY! CONVENIENCE IS KEY!
