5444 QUENTIN ST Philadelphia, PA 19128

We got hit with heavy rain on photo day, but that couldn't stop this Wissahickon (the southernmost section of Roxborough) home from shining like the gem that it is. Fronting onto a tree-lined street that could easily be described as bucolic, this fully renovated, 3-bedroom house is just off of Ridge Avenue, providing easy access to Lincoln Drive and I-76. Combine that with two-car, off-street parking (both a garage and an additional covered spot), and it's a definite upgrade to the average car commuter's daily experience. The area is also serviced by SEPTA regional rail and bus routes, if that's more your jam, and it's about a 20 minute Uber ride to Center City. The grassy front yard has a large planting bed and a covered porch area, excellent for keeping an eye on whippersnappers and scalawags ;-). On the inside, the open concept living room leads to a dining area adjacent to a well-planned kitchen with ample storage space (this side-by-side kitchen/dining room layout is known as "airlite" design). The dining room opens out onto a large deck that's great for entertaining. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms, a large master and two smaller, as well as the bathroom. The front portion of the basement level is fully finished and ready to serve as anything from a beer cave to a romper room. This level also contains the laundry room and mechanicals for the central heating and air, and it can be accessed from the kitchen above or from the garage/parking area in the rear. A new roof was put on in 2011, and almost all of the windows have been replaced in the last 3 years. Both the home and the location strike a really nice balance between city and suburban living.
