Straight Thru

Welcome to 3417 Shelmire Avenue! This well-maintained Mayfair home offers an abundance of space, storage, and natural light. Set off the street, this home has a front yard and patio for grilling with neighbors and friends. Enter into the vestibule area with space for coats and shoes which lets out into a large living room. The first floor features many charming original details like hardwood floors with walnut inlay, original stair banister, decorative brick fireplace, and original trim. The spacious living room leads you into the formal dining room- with two corner storage closets!- and then to the rear kitchen. Storage is not an issue in this house because there are plenty of cabinets, open shelving, and a pot rack to store your kitchen items, as well as a pantry tucked away in the stairwell entrance to the basement. The kitchen also has a nook in the corner which could be used for a table or sitting area. Downstairs, you'll find a finished basement with a powder room and large family room with a bar. At the rear of the basement is a garage/storage room. The garage door has been closed in because the owners use this for storage, however it could easily be converted back into a working garage. This is accessed via a rear alleyway between the rows of houses and you can park an additional car in front of the door. The primary suite is on the second floor in the front with a large triple window that lets in plenty of natural light, two closets, and an en suite bathroom with tub. Fun fact- there is also a laundry chute that goes to the basement! There is another full bathroom with a shower that is accessed via the hallway for the additional two bedrooms, which are both spacious and bright. This home is located just two blocks from Lincoln High School and Propel Academy, as well as Mayfair Playground and Lincoln Pool, and there is easy access to shopping, public transportation, and major highways. Here you can get the best of both worlds- it's just a short drive to Center City to experience everything Philadelphia has to offer and you can also enjoy nature by taking a short walk to Pennypack Park, with its beautiful creek and walking trails.
