Listing description

Welcome to 1727 Benson Street, a fabulous 3 Bdrm 1.5 Bath twin home in Rhawnhurst! The meticulous love and care these same owners have given this home for the last 35 years is evident the moment you enter their warm, open space on this peaceful street. Right away, you'll find gleaming hardwood floors throughout a light-soaked main level, where the living room, dining room, and kitchen flow together. A primary and second bedroom sit down the hall, each with their own spacious closets. The immaculately tiled full bath serves this floor, which also boasts a hall linen closet and a utility/coat closet. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds 525 heated square feet and holds the third bedroom, a family room, a half bath, and a hall nook the owners currently use as an office. Finished in 1994, this space provides a second living area that works however you need it. It also affords the flexibility to convert the 3rd bedroom back into a garage, if so desired. The roof is 5 years old, the water heater is new as of 2025, and central air runs throughout, the kind of maintenance not seen in photos and what separates a house that has been lived in and loved from one that has been flipped. The kitchen was renovated in 2002 with a cooktop and a wall oven, convenient features rare in most homes of this type. The rear has private, off-street driveway parking. The front and side yards have been impeccably maintained, and the awnings shade the windows during the summer months. Transit and schools are conveniently located in close proximity to the home. SEPTA's Bells Corner Loop sits a few blocks away, where the Route 59 trackless trolley runs to Arrott Transit Center and the Market-Frankford Line into Center City. Fox Chase Regional Rail is a mile and a half west on Rhawn Street. Farrell Elementary sits about three blocks away on Castor Avenue, and Rhawnhurst Recreation Center is a half mile south on Bustleton, with ball fields, a playground, and a summer sprinkler park. Champions Park Playground is about a mile northwest and connects into Pennypack Park, which runs several thousand acres of creekside trails through the Northeast. Seller is including the washer, dryer, and refrigerator - all remaining furniture is negotiable. Come check it out!
