Today’s buyers will find it hard to resist the incredible charm and appeal of this sunny, stately and spacious five bedroom, 2.5 bath stone East Falls twin located on leafy Midvale Ave just across from McMichael Park with its sprawling green and restful sitting areas. The home is nicely updated and shows beautifully. Exposed wood floors predominate throughout with the graceful main staircase continuing to the third floor. The living and dining rooms are a delight. The brick fireplace with its pretty mantel is the focal point of the living room with petite leaded glass windows on either side. French doors open to the airy front porch overlooking the lawn, lush gardens and affording views across to the park. The dining room is flooded with light. Note the chair rail and built in china closet. The pretty eat-in kitchen offers ceiling height cabinets, granite counters and window sills, cork floor, double stainless sinks, new stainless dishwasher and stove. Back stairs connect the kitchen to the bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen opens directly to a lovely, very private back patio with border shrubs and plantings, rustic retaining wall and fencing. Upstairs one room is prettier than the next. Two of the bedrooms serve as charming offices and the smallest bedroom is used as a closet/ dressing room. The third floor encompasses the main bedroom suite with an updated bathroom while the sunny 2nd floor front bedroom is the home’s largest. There is a fun, finished rec room in the basement and a detached one car garage with a new door and opener. The hot water heater is recent and there is new basement lighting. The roof is brand new as of March 2024 and comes with a 25 year warranty. So conveniently located, 3242 Midvale is within walking distance of two commuter train lines, bus stops, area educational institutions such as Jefferson U, the Mifflin School, Penn Charter as well as the popular shops and restaurants of East Falls. Center City is 15 minutes away. Do not miss this gem!
