Description

Welcome to 123 Maplewood, a spacious twin home situated on a deep 150 ft lot in the heart of the Kirklyn neighborhood. Bursting with character, this charming home features 3 (possibly 4) bedrooms and begins with an inviting raised front porch that provides ample space for a few chairs, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. Upon entering the living room through the beautiful wood front door, framed by sidelights, you'll notice the elegant hardwood floors and a decorative stone fireplace. The mantle is equipped with outlets, making it ideal for holiday decorations. The hardwood floors extend into the formal dining room, which is complete with a coat closet and additional storage. Adjacent to the dining room is the vintage kitchen, adorned with oak cabinetry, a gas range, and an original built-in hutch. The kitchen also grants access to the outdoors, leading down to a large poured concrete patio, making grilling and outdoor entertaining effortless. Additionally, you’ll find a spacious, level, fenced-in backyard and an attached one-car garage. Inside, stairs off the kitchen lead to an unfinished basement that offers a freshly painted space with ample storage, a laundry area, gas utilities, and walk-out access to the backyard. Moving to the second floor, you'll discover two spacious bedrooms overlooking the backyard, a full hall bathroom with a tub and tile surround, and a generously sized main bedroom that includes a bonus room, which could serve as an office, dressing area, or nursery. Stairs on the second-floor landing lead to a finished third floor, which runs the entire length of the house and could be used as a 4th bedroom (please note this space is not heated). A shared driveway runs along the property line, providing off-street parking and access to a detached one-car garage. Other notable improvements include double-hung insulated windows, gas heating and hot water, a newer sewer lateral connecting the house to the street, and a perimeter drain waterproofing system with a sump pump in the basement. Conveniently located, this home offers easy access to Philadelphia, whether via public transportation (bus or high-speed trolley) or by car. Situated on a sidewalk-lined street, you have excellent walkability to shops, restaurants, parks, and schools. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to make a home in Kirklyn!
