Listing description

Special from the very first glance, 558 Jamestown Ave is a fully detached Roxborough gem filled with distinctive character, rich woodwork, modern renovations, and a warm, moody atmosphere balanced by abundant natural light and oversized windows throughout. This 3-story home offers 5 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, smart-home controls, an expansive fenced backyard, and a flexible layout. Set on a quiet, suburban-like block while still enjoying the benefits of city living, the property makes a striking first impression with its handsome brick facade, soft green trim, and manicured landscaping. An enclosed sunroom lined by a wall of windows sets a memorable tone upon arrival, providing a peaceful perch for morning coffee, quiet reading, or unwinding at the end of the day. Inside, beautiful inlaid hardwood floors stretch across the large living room, where there is plenty of space to host friends, settle in for movie nights, or relax beside the majestic fireplace mantel. An arch leads into the open, airy dining room and showpiece kitchen, where tall windows, detailed millwork, and a built-in wood bar make everyday meals and dinner parties feel equally inviting. The one-of-a-kind chef’s kitchen boasts dark gray shaker cabinetry, black counters veined in white that ascend the backsplash, brass-tone fixtures, an extra-wide smart sink, a pot filler over the range, an AI-enabled refrigerator, and a beverage center complete with a wine fridge. A rarely seen second rear staircase adds even more historic charm. Off the kitchen, a coordinating laundry room and mudroom feature unique tile floors and a convenient powder room. Out back, the deep fenced yard creates a private escape for summer barbecues, gardening, outdoor play, evenings around the firepit, and dining under the stars. Upstairs, the sunlit primary bedroom sits at the front, framed by bay windows and offering a double closet. Two additional bright bedrooms and a full hall bathroom complete the second level. The top floor adds two more flexible bedrooms ready to become a guest retreat, office, hobby studio, or a future primary suite. A large, easily accessible basement provides lots of storage and room for bikes, seasonal gear, projects, or a workshop. Ideally positioned between Ridge and Henry Avenues, the home is walkable to local restaurants, cafes, small businesses, and popular shopping centers. Sprawling Wissahickon Valley Park, playgrounds, trails, golf clubs, and Roxborough Memorial Hospital are all close. Plus, there’s easy access to Main Street Manayunk, Kelly Drive, I-76, and Center City via high-speed rail.
