Description

Welcome to 488 Evergreen Avenue, a thoughtfully designed 3-story twin offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 half baths, a 1-car garage, and a paved driveway accented with upgraded stonework for added curb appeal. With a few years remaining on the tax abatement, this residence offers exceptional value in one of Roxborough’s most desirable pockets. The main level features an open, sunlit layout with oversized windows, wide-plank hardwood floors, and high ceilings throughout. The kitchen is a standout with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, pot filler, pantry, and an oversized island with seating. Sliding doors off the kitchen lead to a deck that overlooks the fenced-in backyard — perfect for morning coffee or summer BBQs. A spacious dining area is adjacent to the kitchen, and a separate living room with coffered ceilings and a gas fireplace is great for relaxing or entertaining. A stylish half bath completes this level. The second level includes three bedrooms, including a vaulted-ceiling primary suite with a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed ensuite bath with a dual vanity and walk-in glass shower. A full hall bath and a convenient upstairs laundry room complete this level. The top floor offers a large bonus room with its own full bath — a versatile space that works well as a fourth bedroom, guest suite or home office — and opens to a private rooftop deck for added outdoor space. The finished lower level is currently set up as a home gym and includes a half bath, storage, and interior access to the garage. This flexible space could also function as a playroom or media area. Ideally located just minutes from Chestnut Hill, Lafayette HIll, Manayunk, Kelly Drive, and the Wissahickon trails — and with easy access to Center City and the Main Line — this home offers the perfect mix of modern living and neighborhood charm. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this stylish, low-maintenance home your own in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable communities.

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
