3469 MIDVALE AVE Philadelphia, PA 19129

A real show stopper, 3469 Midvale is one of a magnificent row of distinctive 3-story c.1935 Tudor townhomes with dramatic 2-story leaded glass front windows that have become synonymous with East Falls but are known well beyond for their distinguished architecture. Serene and tastefully updated while retaining all the homes original character and charm, 3469 Midvale, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, is a fine example. Enter through the polished heavy oak front door with its wrought iron embellishment and brass knocker into the sweeping living room with 14 cathedral ceiling, gleaming wood floors and impressive staircase turning into a balcony overlooking the space below. Light pours in, refracted by the leaded glass. A handsome paneled fireplace graces the far end of the room. A formal dining room leads to a charming newer kitchen with graceful wood cabinetry reaching ceiling height, granite countertops, wood style flooring, delightful painted tile backsplash, Kitchen Aid cooktop with oven below, Bosch dishwasher, built in refrigerator and much more. The primary bedroom on the 2nd floor with its adjoining updated tile bathroom is a dream opening through French doors to the irresistible deck overlooking the richly planted property in the rear. A retractable awning makes the deck a delightful place to be any time of the day. Two additional airy bedrooms occupy the third floor along with another nicely updated bathroom. The finished basement, with original knotty pine, is wonderfully inviting serving as a family room and office. The basement also includes a good size powder room, laundry area, cedar closet and mechanicals. The home is crisp and fresh with much of the interior recently painted. Systems have been well maintained. There is central air for the first floor and split units for the upper floors. There is a one car attached garage plus additional parking in the rear. Part of the Tudor East Falls Historic District, 3469 Midvale is conveniently located within walking distance to the train, the popular shops and eateries of East Falls, Penn Charter, Jefferson U, other educational institutions, Kelly Drive and the Schuylkill River with its colorful regattas three seasons of the year. Center City is just 15 minutes away. Simply the best!
