Description

A Riverside Retreat with Modern Comforts Nestled just a block from the tranquil Delaware River, 130 Carre Ave is more than just a house—it's a story waiting to unfold. Imagine coming home to a place where classic charm meets modern convenience, all in a location that offers both serenity and connectivity. As you approach, the freshly painted exterior and new vinyl windows catch the sunlight, welcoming you inside. Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by the warmth of new laminate floors that guide you into a spacious living and dining room combo. Here, the open layout invites both quiet evenings at home and lively gatherings with friends. The kitchen, the heart of the home, is a modern space where culinary adventures await. Just steps away, a brand-new bathroom and a conveniently located laundry room offer practicality without sacrificing style. From the laundry you can access the beautiful backyard. It's a layout designed with thoughtfulness, where every detail speaks of comfort and ease. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms promise restful nights. Each room is a sanctuary, offering privacy and a peaceful retreat from the day’s hustle. Meanwhile, downstairs, the basement holds a surprise—a versatile room that could be a cozy family hangout or an extra bedroom, ready to adapt to your changing needs. Outside, the backyard beckons with the promise of summer barbecues, morning coffees, and perhaps a little garden of your own. The separate entrance to the storage shed ensures that all your outdoor gear has a place of its own, keeping the space neat and ready for whatever adventure the seasons bring. And while the neighborhood streets provide ample parking, inside you’ll stay comfortable year-round with mini-split systems in each room, offering efficient heating and cooling. When winter’s chill sets in, the backup oil heat, if needed, will wrap you in warmth ensuring that this house feels like a home no matter the weather. Just five miles from Philadelphia International Airport and near many major throughfares, 130 Carre Ave is perfectly positioned for both quiet riverside living and easy access to the broader world. It’s a place where the past and future converge, where new memories are waiting to be made. Could this be the chapter where your story begins?
