Set on a tree-lined street in the heart of Somerton in Philadelphia, this beautifully maintained American Foursquare offers timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and a flexible layout ideal for modern living. With Craftsman influences throughout, you’ll appreciate the home’s architectural character the moment you step onto the full-width covered front porch—perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. <br><br> Inside, the welcoming living room showcases hardwood floors with a walnut inlay, a wood-burning fireplace with a classic brick surround, and custom built-in bookcases that frame the hearth. Elegant 15-light double doors open into a bright and spacious dining room featuring a built-in corner cabinet and room to host memorable gatherings. <br><br> The updated kitchen is a true highlight, offering generous counter space, wood cabinetry, a peninsula for prep or seating, a double sink, and a cozy breakfast area. Just beyond, the large family room is filled with light and lined with built-ins—including a window bench and ample shelving—plus a convenient half bath, pantry/utility closet, and access to the backyard and oversized detached garage. <br><br> Upstairs, you’ll find beautiful wood floors throughout, three well-sized bedrooms—all with large walk-in closets—and a classic three-piece hall bath. The spacious primary suite includes an adjoining office, offering a private retreat that may also have potential as a future en-suite bath. <br><br> The clean, dry basement provides excellent storage, workshop potential, or the opportunity to finish for additional living space. Outside, the home sits on a generous lot with front, side, and rear yards offering room to garden, play, or entertain. <br><br> Enjoy the convenience of a location just half a mile from the Forest Hills regional rail station, multiple bus lines, and a wide array of local shops and restaurants. This is a home that balances charm, function, and location—ready for its next chapter.
