Welcome to 60 Blanchard Rd, circa 1900, a lovely 4 Bedroom 1.5 Bath Single Family Home set on an oversized 1/3 acre lot perched on a quiet street in Drexel Hill. This home (and property) have been lovingly updated and maintained by its current owner, and it's just oozing with charm: beautiful original refinished hardwood floors, high ceilings, large windows throughout and beautiful woodwork and detailed bannister. The open floor plan and endless windows give this home a bright, airy and welcoming feel, making it a perfect place for entertaining, with lots of room to spread out. The kitchen has been updated with butcher block counters and island, stainless steel appliances, and stylish subway tile backsplash. There's a cute powder room conveniently located on the first floor as well. Off the kitchen, you'll step out onto a large raised deck overlooking your massive yard and beyond, beautiful private wooded views and Darby Creek. Additional outdoor features include a newly installed stone paver patio with knee wall and built in slate-like steps, a lovely addition to this exceptional property which will provide countless days of pleasure and relaxation. Back inside and upstairs, the 2nd floor boasts 3 very nice-sized bright and spacious bedrooms with new lighting and pretty hardwood floors; and a charming 3 piece full bath with pedestal sink, tile floor and tub/shower tile surround. The 3rd floor features a huge 250' ft room, which would make a fabulous large 4th bedroom, playroom, or mancave! This home's basement is another value add: the ceilings are high and it boasts above grade exit to outside for easy access to the side yard and patio, and is just waiting to be finished! There is so much to love about this home: a 2-3 car private driveway, a new roof, newer HVAC, replacement windows, updated electric, and to top it all off, new Solar Panels have been installed on the roof, which absorb the suns energy and coverts it into electricity, reducing your energy bills substantially. The location can't be beat either: a very short drive to downtown Philly, a short walk to the many nearby restaurants, stores, theater, library or farmer's market, easy access to the Creek Road Train Station or Philadelphia Airport for your commute, and steps away from Darby Creek Trail and waterfalls, Kent Dog Park and Swedish Cabin. Don't miss this rare opportunity! Make your appointment today!
