Listing description

1219 Essex Avenue has the kind of everyday comfort that is easy to picture yourself settling into. Set on a quiet street in Ridley Township, this three-bedroom, two-bath Cape Cod offers hardwood floors, central air, a distinctive upstairs primary suite, and a backyard that may quickly become your favorite part of the home. Sunlight comes through the living room’s wide front window and moves across the hardwood floors, creating an inviting place to unwind at the end of the day. Just beyond it, the kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and space to sit down and enjoy a meal. Two bedrooms and a full hall bathroom are located on the main level, providing options for sleeping space, guests, a home office, or a combination that works for your needs. Upstairs, the home takes on a personality of its own. A sweet sitting area at the top of the stairs creates a natural spot for a reading chair or a quiet place to work. The primary bedroom is joined by a separate bonus room that could serve as a nursery, dressing room, office, or private sitting room. A full bathroom and three large hallway closets complete the level. Together, these spaces create a private primary suite with useful storage and room to adapt as life changes. The large, unfinished walk-out basement provides space for laundry, storage, exercise equipment, hobbies, or a workshop, along with excellent potential for future finishing. Outside, the large fenced backyard is a true standout. There is room for cookouts, gardening, play, pets, and quiet evenings under the trees. It is the kind of yard that can welcome a crowd while still offering space to relax and enjoy being at home. Living in Ridley Township means having local parks, recreation, community activities, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences nearby. With I-95 and I-476 within easy reach, trips to Philadelphia, Delaware, New Jersey, Philadelphia International Airport, and surrounding employment centers are simple. 1219 Essex Avenue offers something that is getting harder to find. It offers character, flexibility, generous storage, outdoor space, and a location that makes daily life simpler. From the inviting main level to the distinctive primary suite upstairs and the backyard waiting for cookouts, play, pets, and quiet evenings, this is a home that feels easy to settle into and enjoy from the start.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($188,540, 2021 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Delaware County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
