Better than new construction, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home comes with an extended backyard perfect for entertaining and still leaves space for a significant garden or even grass! This home offers modern, tasteful living with an open main floor layout, accented by hardwoods throughout, recessed lighting and high ceilings. The kitchen is complete with unique, yet neutral granite, shaker-style cabinets and a high-top breakfast bar with built-in wine cooler. A half bath smartly accented with black and white marble completes the first floor. Moving upstairs, the modern accents continue with dark steel, custom handrails. Upstairs is flanked by two larger bedrooms, with a third bedroom and full bath outfitted in classic white subway tile accented with marble in between. Washer and dryer are conveniently located upstairs, too. The finished basement allows for additional living space and storage. Outback you'll find a large, fenced backyard with pavers and space to grow your own vegetables, play-yard, or even zen rock garden. As this is the last house in its row, the secured backyard opens up to the side alley, allowing for easy movement between front and back of the house, which is ideal for outdoor entertaining, bike storage, trash removal, etc. Fully updated 200-amp electrical (with 1-yr warranty), PEX plumbing (with 1-yr warranty), 95% efficient HVAC system (with 1-yr warranty), windows, and the new roof even comes with a 10-year warranty. Located within short distance to much of what both Graduate Hospital and University City have to offer. ***Once Homestead Tax Exemption is applied, projected property taxes for 2016 will DROP to $2721.21 according to the city's AVI calculator.***
