Listing description

Welcome to 218 N Sylvania Ave in the tight-knit community of Rockledge! This 5-bedroom Cape Cod checks the boxes that are hardest to find together — flexible space, a private pool, and a location that makes daily living easy. Freshly refinished hardwood floors set the tone in the open concept living and dining room, which give way to the well-equipped kitchen that offers plenty of cabinet space and gas cooking. Two large bedrooms and a full bathroom on the first floor make this layout ideal for every stage of life. Upstairs, three additional rooms offer flexibility, additional bedroom space, home office possibilities and more...plus a second full bath with a custom tile shower! Outside, you can enjoy the hot summer days relaxing by your heated above-ground pool on the worry-free Trex deck. The private, fenced yard is great for kids and pets to enjoy year-round, and for the green thumb of the family to create a gardener's paradise. Two large storage sheds provide space for all your tools and toys, and back inside a full unfinished basement houses the laundry facilities and over 800sqft of storage space! Commuters will appreciate being less than a mile from Fox Chase train station with direct service into Center City. Families will love the Abington School District — including McKinley Elementary School just five minutes away and Abington High School, a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon school. This home truly has it all!

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.
