8131 Roanoke Street

This lovely home offers the very best of Chestnut Hill living at a price that can't be beat! The highly desirable, quiet block overlooks Pastorious Park, where you can open your front door and hear the sweet sounds of weekly concerts in summer, skate on a frozen lake in winter, and enjoy a picnic or a good book on a bench, all year long. Just a few blocks from all of the amazing restaurants, shopping, and a soon-to-be fine new grocery store, on Germantown Avenue. Also within just a few blocks of two different Regional Rail lines, the Chestnut Hill East and West lines, and a Septa bus line, this is an easy commute to Center City or other nearby towns and suburbs. The sunny enclosed porch welcomes you into an open floor plan living/dining room. Hardwood floors throughout. Cozy country kitchen with built in shelves is large enough to eat in. The convenient first-floor laundry room opens onto a sweet patio framed by a trellis and overhanging grapevine, perfect for dining al fresco. A very deep fenced-in backyard offers room for entertaining. Upstairs, find three bedrooms and a full bathroom, including a spacious front master bedroom with bay windows overlooking the park and letting in plenty of light. Here is an opportunity to experience the very best of Philadelphia living, in a neighborhood that offers the walkability of Center City with the green space and peace and quiet you normally would only find outside of the city. In addition to Carpenter Woods, the Wissahickon Park offers miles of hiking and biking trails within a very short distance. This is a sweet home in a truly fantastic location that you won't want to miss!
