3-bedroom townhouse with a rooftop terrace for sale in Philadelphia for $625,000

For Deanna George, it was “the way the outdoor spaces blend into the indoor spaces.”

For her husband, Nate, it was the “rustic/modern” look and the four separate outdoor spaces.

These are among the main reasons why they purchased the new three-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhouse in Manayunk in 2019.

But circumstances have changed – mainly the impending arrival of a second child – and they are moving to the Wayne area and more space.

Nate, a consultant to the pharmaceutical industry, and Deanna, a physical therapist, also liked Manayunk’s combination of sophistication and rustic charm. Deanna especially liked the hiking and biking opportunities.

The 2,238 square foot home has three stories plus the rooftop deck, and the elevated open-plan first floor features a modern kitchen with 42-inch cabinetry, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances, bar sink and a central island with seating.

The living room has 12+ foot ceilings and a separate dining area.

The living room has access to the porch, which, in turn, has access at street level. There is also a paved patio next to the kitchen.

The second floor has two large bedrooms with double closets, a full bathroom and a laundry room.

The master bedroom occupies the entire third floor and has a double door entrance and a balcony. It has an outdoor seating area and a bathroom with a bath and glass-enclosed walk-in shower, toilet and double sink vanity.

Other features include a tankless water heater, large windows, upgraded HVAC, plenty of natural light and a garage.

There’s easy access to the SEPTA regional train and other transportation to downtown, and the walk to Main Street takes about three minutes. He stays seven years at home on the tax abatement.

This is listed by Dave Hinkel of Coldwell Banker Realty for $625,000.
