Listing description

Welcome to 231 Sumac St, a charming 3 bedroom row home in Wissahickon, ideally located just steps from the Vicaris Street trailhead, the iconic 100 Steps, and in the Cook-Wissahickon School Catchment. With an attached garage and driveway, this home offers both character and convenience. Enter the front door to a lovely foyer with a coat closet - a hard-to-find amenity in a Philadelphia home! Head up a small flight of stairs to the sunny dining room, with access to the kitchen with plenty of counter space, honey oak cabinets, and newer stainless steel appliances. Beyond the center staircase is the living room with direct access to the stunning backyard complete with a covered deck, brick paver patio, and grassy yard. All 3 bedrooms have ample closet space and ceiling fans. The recently finished basement provides flex space for a home office, workout room, playroom, or whatever suits your needs, with convenient access to the garage. This home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated by the owners. The entire house has been freshly repainted, almost all windows replaced (2023), an expansive back deck and porch roof built (2023), silver coat on the roof (2024), new HVAC system installed (2026), new water heater (2023), and a french drain, sump pit, and sump pump installed in the basement (2026). Located on a friendly block with long-time neighbors, 231 Sumac is just an 8 min walk to Wissahickon Regional Rail stop and 10 min walk to the Ridge Ave Transit Center. Move-in ready and well cared for, this is a wonderful opportunity to make this home yours in one of Northwest Philadelphia’s most beloved neighborhoods.
