Description
"HOME!" ...Pleasantly perched and located in the heart of Drexel Hill, this spacious and statuesque beautiful Stone Center Hall Colonial with 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (and additional powder room), original hardwood floors, replacement/double-paned windows throughout, along with other fabulous features, is just waiting for YOU to call it "HOME!"
Upon entering, you'll notice the wider (with longer treads) staircase, which divides the large living room and dining room. Both of these rooms have cool, random-width pegged hardwood floors, and 32" double-paned windows with 9" windowsills, which let in plenty of sunlight.
The living room also features French doors, and a large wood fireplace with mantle, a stone face, and a slate hearth, in between two large built-in shelves, with a pair of sconces adorned above them. The traditional dining room is well sized, and features a chandelier, chair rail, floor and ceiling molding, and 4 windows. Both the living room and dining room have convector radiators.
The eat-in kitchen is bright - thanks to the newly replaced skylight and the 4 casement windows! - and features 2 large pantries, tiled counter top, a parquet floor, a new refrigerator, and a new double oven which is convection and air fryer capable!
Through the French doors at the back of living room is a great multi-use room that includes original windows, laminate flooring and baseboard heating. A rear door opens to the driveway (very convenient)! The 1st floor powder room, tucked away for privacy, is at the back of the home, as is the entrance to the garage, which measures 19' x 16', and features electricity, heating, and a new washer & dryer (main floor laundry)!
Up the stairs, you'll enjoy the stately 2nd floor hall on your way to the primary bedroom with en suite bath. The bedroom is carpeted and has 4 windows. The bathroom features a high ceiling with new skylight glass, a corner shower, decorative tile, and iron baseboard heating. Bedrooms #2 and #3 on this floor are of equal size and feature hardwood floors and ceiling fans.
The 4th bedroom is located above the garage (accessed through the rear kitchen doors & staircase!), measures 15' by 14', and features a hardwood floor, double-paned windows, and convection heat. It also includes a very long closet, measuring 16'. Across the hall from the bedroom is a full bathroom with tub!
The unfinished basement measures 22' x 15' and features a newer Weil McLain boiler and a newer Bradford White 40 gallon water heater; sliding windows; a sump pump; and a radon remediation unit installed in 2019.
Last, but not least, 740 Turner Ave. is in an incredibly convenient location: close walking distance to many elementary, middle and high school options! Many playgrounds and sporting fields are nearby. Two trolley stations and bus routes are just a few blocks away; and 69th Street Terminal and SEPTA Rail Stations are just over 2 miles. Plus, countless restaurants and sandwich shops!
This beautiful stone-built home with a new roof installed in 2021 (along with new gutters and soffits), private driveway and all the aforementioned features is move-in ready! Schedule your visit soon; truly, it won't be on the market for long!
