MARLA SCHECHTER

Description

LOTS TO LIKE here at #320 Abbey Terrace! START SMART with this end row townhome located in a private little cluster of homes at the end of a one-way street!. Notice the brick dentil molding and high stone foundation--a different style than most of the row houses you have seen. Brand new shutters were placed recently in front, and the flower boxes are full, as it should be in Spring! Some notable features : One year old gas heater, new sewer line installed in the Fall of 2024, new 100 amp electric box and service cable, a convenient 1st floor powder room with 2 mirrors , 5 window AC's, capped replacement windows, architectural shingles on the front and pent roofs, a newly coated flat roof and beautifully finished hardwoods on the 1st floor,. Step in from the front patio to the LR , DR and kitchen--all with hardwood flooring and ceiling fans. Notice the sunlight streaming through the windows that only an end of row can provide! There are neutral colors in beiges and grays on the walls throughout. An arch with shelving for your favorite mementos is embedded into the LR wall. Entertain with ease in the DR. If you have company, you can see and chat with your guests through the pass-through cutout from the kitchen, which brings in lots of light, while preparing the meal. The kitchen , with tons of oak cabinets and a pantry, is also bright because of the pass through opening between the kitchen and DR. There is a lip extension on both sides at the peninsula. Other features of note are a 5-burner stove, a new DW and garbage disposal, a fridge, a microwave and a new wood-look vinyl floor. Look out the back window as you are at the corner, stainless sink. Upstairs, all the bedrooms are carpeted. Two of the rooms have wall to wall carpets that are are newer. All three bedrooms show off CF's. There's a window AC for each bedroom as well! (Two more AC's for the first floor). The tiled hall bath includes a tub/shower, a vanity sink and a newer toilet. You are lucky to have a window here...no skylight... again...because it's an end row...another perk! There is storage shelving built into the wall down the steps to the lower level . A portion has been finished with drywall , a chair rail and neutral carpeting . The rest of the space features the laundry area (washer and dryer included). From here you can walk out, using the new steel door, to the driveway and integral one-car garage, with a hose bib and a new outlet. The garage door is new! There's an extra fridge on this level too! Check out the large utility room that houses the Bradford White hot water heater and the gas, hot water furnace (cost almost $1900 a year ago). There is also storage under the basement steps. CONVENIENCE IS KEY! The plus factor of this neighborhood is the proximity to all the shops and eateries on Garrett Rd. , including a WAWA. Just around the corner from #320 is the Clark Playground. It's a short walk to two trolley lines that get you to the UD terminal to transfer to transportation to Center City for school, work or play......or maybe you want to grab the trolley to visit downtown Media for a stroll, a meal or lots of shopping. Parking in Media is hard to find, so taking the trolley helps get you there for all of this as well as the many events, like Dining Under the Stars, Fun Sundays, the Spring Arts Show and parades that take place, without worrying about parking! There was a Use and Occupancy inspection done in the Fall. The result was that new concrete blocks, to the tune of over $4000 had to be done. The sewer lateral line needed to be replaced --cost--$7500. A new service cable needed to be installed. So, I suppose you are already getting the idea that the upgrades, both utilitarian and cosmetic, can definitely make you feel at ease. BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE! There is a FREE APHW HOME WARRANTY offered to the buyer(s) from the seller at closing! WOW! This home truly has ALL THE I WANT'S. It's a place to hang your heart! So....MAKE IT YOURS!
