Welcome to this attractive bungalow at 526 Furlong Ave! Sitting up off the street and overlooking the beautiful tall trees and grounds of Thompson Nature Park, this house is wonderfully appealing. Walking up the front path you’ll find an open covered porch before entering the home. You’ll notice the natural light through the southern facing windows as you walk through the first floor. The floor plan starts with a cozy living room with stone (wood burning) fireplace that connects into a formal dining room. Just beyond the dining room is the kitchen, with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash and floors. The kitchen space also includes a pantry/coat closet next to the back door that leads out onto a raised deck. From here, you have an incredible view, overlooking the yard and expansive tranquil park beyond the split rail fencing. Think of it as the “yard” you get to enjoy, but never maintain! Off the dining room you’ll find a small hall leading to 2 first floor bedrooms, as well as, a full hall bath with tub and tile surround. Stairs off the dining room lead up to a large open 2nd floor (with right and left dormer’d roofs) that present what could be a 3rd bedroom, additionally living space, or both if divided. The space includes wood floors, knotty pine walls, multiple closets for storage and 11 windows. Stairs off the kitchen lead down to a full unfinished basement that includes newer gas appliances (boiler & hot water heater), 200 amp electrical panel, the washer and dryer area, and steps up to bilco doors that lead to the back exterior of the home. Situated on a lovely sidewalk lined street, you have easy access to parks, schools (Manoa Elementary around the corner), shopping and restaurants along West Chester Pike & Township Line. Additionally you are just minutes from public transit and major thoroughfares. Whether you're looking for your first home, down sizing or just hoping for a single family home, this might just be the right one for you!
