2703 SEARS ST Philadelphia, PA 19146

This right-size home in Grays Ferry has been tastefully renovated and lovingly maintained. A perfect starter home at just over 1,000 square feet, this house has additional living space in the basement and an efficiently designed floorplan, making it open, airy and bright. Beautiful honey-colored hardwood floors lead from the sunny living area at the front through to the L-shaped kitchen at the back, with the patio door off the side breezeway for uninterrupted flow. The kitchen features espresso Shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, pretty gray sea-glass mosaic tile backsplash, a Frigidaire stainless steel appliance package and stainless steel undermount sink with gooseneck faucet. The paved patio out back is a nice size for grilling and that lounge set you've had your eye on. Need more green space? Head through the alley to the community garden in the lot directly behind, which is maintained by the Neighborhood Gardens Trust. The second floor houses two spacious bedrooms, with the one at the rear overlooking the garden. The master bedroom at the front has dual closets and a stylish en-suite bath featuring subway tile tub surround, porcelain tile floors and a floating vanity. The hall bathroom features the same classic subway tile shower surround, frameless glass shower door and a sleek black vanity. This quiet block is super close to the Pennovation Center, Lanier Park and Playground, Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park and neighborhood conveniences like the Fresh Grocer (with beer and wine!) shopping center.
