Incredible location! Welcome to 8 Hillcrest Avenue, where an open floor plan meets 1920s charm in this Cottage-style single. This turnkey home offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, an updated kitchen, hardwood flooring, tons of natural light, central air, a fantastic yard, and so much more. It is evident that a lot of love and care has gone into this home, making it not only beautiful, but totally move-in ready for the next lucky owner. From the moment you pull up to the house, you will be smitten and will love the curb appeal. Inside, you will feel immediately at home as you are welcomed into a lovely, enclosed, window-filled porch (currently used as a music room but could easily be an office/library), followed by a bright living room with hardwood flooring and a nice, neutral color palette. The dining room is open to the kitchen, creating a lovely flow, ideal for entertaining and plenty of space for gathering. The kitchen was updated with Carerra marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large island with seating, and outdoor access directly from the kitchen. The first floor also offers a unique larger powder room and back entry area with laundry. Upstairs, you will find a continued abundance of natural light, a master bedroom, two additional, nicely sized bedrooms and a hall bathroom. Down below is a sizable finished basement that offers additional living space, ample storage and was professionally water proofed. Outside, the yard is a dream with roses, lavender, hydrangeas, and azaleas abloom in the spring. It is the perfect size, allowing plenty of room for play and relaxation, but not too much to manage. The rear yard is fenced for privacy and has a 400 square foot new paver patio. There is a two-car garage with a new paved driveway providing ample parking. The home is located in the award-winning Springfield School District and within walking distance to new Enfield Elementary School built in 2020. Cisco Park, the gorgeous new library, and a few local eateries are also within walking distance. Chestnut Hill, The Morris Arboretum, as well as access to Forbidden Drive and the trails of the Wissahickon, are just five minutes away. This home offers easy access to 309 and major routes of transportation.
