Description

Welcome to this well-maintained 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath detached house on a large corner lot with a beautiful swimming pool in the heart of Norwood! The first floor offers high ceilings and tons of natural light, featuring the family room, living room, dining room, spacious kitchen, closet, and powder room. The living room has a west-facing bay window, allowing for plenty of afternoon light. It is the perfect spot for you and your family to bond. The eat-in kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinet space, a separate pantry, dishwasher, floor tiles, a nice backsplash, and a garbage disposal sink. On the second floor, you will find two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a good size closet. The second floor also features a spacious full bath with two separate vanities. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on the second floor. The third floor features two additional bedrooms, each with closet space. The house has a one-zone natural gas heating system (furnace replaced around January 2024). There are two air conditioning zones (one unit services the entire house and the second unit adds additional cooling upstairs). The main unit was serviced in 2024. The first floor backdoor leads to a large fenced backyard with a sizeable swimming pool. The concrete pool holds about 14,000 gallons and is 5 feet deep at the deep end. It has concrete steps in the shallow end for easy entry and exit. The pool is chlorine-sanitized and has a DE filter and automatic pool cleaner attachment. In 2024, a new 6-way valve was installed, offering control over the pool’s filtration system with six distinct settings to manage water flow, cleaning, and re-circulation. The pool was professionally closed in October 2024. The big fenced backyard also has a small gazebo, and two gates provide easy access for lawn care equipment. The fenced backyard provides privacy for barbecues, hangouts, or simply enjoying the nice weather. The front yard has a beautiful maple tree, enhancing the property's appeal on the corner lot. This home also features a long asphalt driveway that can accommodate four cars, as well as street parking, providing plenty of parking space for your guests. A shed with electricity is located at the end of the driveway, offering ample storage. Also, the basement offers capacious storage and features a sump pump and dehumidifier. The main electric panel was replaced in 2024, and the service to the house was upgraded from 100A to 200A in 2024. While the house has a gas range, hot water, heat, and dryer, the upgraded 200A service provides great flexibility. There is a sub-panel in the second-floor laundry room, which was also replaced in 2024. The exterior lamppost has a programmable digital timer in the basement. With swift access to all major highways (Rt. 13, 291, Rt. 476, I-95, Commodore Barry Bridge), and many restaurants within 5-10 minutes, this home is perfectly located. It also offers ample recreation opportunities such as Norwood Lower Park, Montgomery Park, Darby Creek, and Tinicum Park. Just a few blocks away from Norwood School, Prospect Park Elementary School, and Kindergarten Academy, there are many community events at Ridley Park and other recreational facilities all year round. Only 10 minutes away from Philadelphia International Airport, 25 minutes from Wilmington, DE, and 20 minutes from Philadelphia, PA. To top it all off, it is move-in ready, and there are no HOA fees!
