454 Lyceum Ave

Lovely and spacious 5 bedroom 1.5 bathroom on one of the best (and double wide) streets in Roxborough. Framed by an elegant iron gate, a landscaped front yard, and a beautiful sun porch, this home feels both private and picturesque. The curb appeal is instantly apparent. As you enter, you will feel this home welcome you in with high ceilings, a beautiful living room, a formal dining space with built in shelves, and a modern updated kitchen. The kitchen is large enough to build a kitchen island, or keep as is. Behind the kitchen is a bonus pantry room - a rare find, and a well-done use of the extension of the kitchen. Enjoy extra counter space, a built-in pantry, and floating shelves for extra storage space. This room also doubles as a laundry room - clean, crisp, and practical. The powder room is tucked off this room. Off the kitchen, find access to the side deck, the back patio, a paved side entrance, and the backyard. The backyard has been maintained and cared for (vibrant and healthy!) The back patio is a perfect (and private) space for outdoor furniture to grill, relax, and host. On the second floor find three nice sized bedrooms with ample light and a hallway bathroom with a soaking tub shower combo. The third floor offers two additional great sized bedrooms. The basement is a large footprint; enjoy endless storage space. This cared-for home stands out from the rest with multiple outdoor spaces, five bedrooms, a bonus pantry/mudroom, and on a neighborhood, friendly street. A short walk from Main Street Manayunk’s shops, restaurants, parks, and quick access to Center City and nearby public transportation. A sweet gem!
