Description

Nestled just a block from the tranquil Delaware River 130 Carre Ave is more than just a house—it's a story waiting to unfold. Imagine coming home to a place where classic charm meets modern convenience, all in a location that offers both serenity and connectivity with 2 amazing parks within walking distance and major thoroughfares near by! And Flood Insurance is not required on this beautiful home! The property and basement are totally dry! This home also has the ability to add one or two additional bedrooms if the need arises. The home has many upgrades including new laminate floors throughout, new paint inside and out, new downstairs full bath with walk in shower, new concrete floors in basement, updated electrical, tile backsplash and granite countertops in kitchen, new appliances and mini splits for heat and AC etc. Too many to mention! As you approach, the freshly painted exterior and steps, the newer vinyl windows catch the sunlight, welcoming you inside. Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by the warmth of new laminate floors that guide you into a spacious living and dining room combo. Here, the open layout invites both quiet evenings at home and lively gatherings with friends. The wood built ins and interior shutters are a nice addition to this bright area. The kitchen, the heart of the home, is a modern space where culinary adventures await. Just steps away, a brand-new bathroom and a conveniently located laundry room with wash sink offer practicality without sacrificing style. From the laundry you can access the beautiful backyard. It's a layout designed with thoughtfulness, where every detail speaks of comfort and ease. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms with ample storage promise restful nights. Each room is a sanctuary, offering privacy and a peaceful retreat from the day’s hustle. Meanwhile, downstairs, the basement holds a surprise—a versatile room that could be a cozy family hangout or an extra bedroom, ready to adapt to your changing needs. Outside, the backyard beckons with the promise of summer barbecues, morning coffees, and perhaps a little garden of your own. The separate entrance to the storage shed ensures that all your outdoor gear has a place of its own, keeping the space neat and ready for whatever adventure the seasons bring. Adventure down a few steps in the shed to your very own private work shop/gardening area and your backyard oasis is complete. And while the neighborhood streets provide ample parking, inside you’ll stay comfortable year-round with mini-split systems in each room, offering efficient heating and cooling. When winter’s chill sets in, the backup oil heat, if needed, will wrap you in warmth ensuring that this house feels like a home no matter the weather. Just five miles from Philadelphia International Airport and near many major throughfares, 130 Carre Ave is perfectly positioned for both quiet riverside living and easy access to the broader world. Close proximity to five parks including Governor Printz park, Essington Park and the John Heinz Natl Wildlife Refuge. There is also the Corinthian Yacht Club and the famous Lazaretto Ballroom a few blocks away.. There are plenty of nice restaurants and places to walk the dogs or watch the river. Many families around here stay for generations. It’s a place where the past and future converge, where new memories are waiting to be made. Could this be the chapter where your story begins?
