Property details

About 1236 Whittier Ave

Welcome to our new listing in the heart of the Bensalem subdivision of Andalusia! This beautiful home is situated on a wide yet quiet street, with minimal traffic—only local residents pass through. At the end of the street, this peaceful property offers a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle. The asphalt driveway is in excellent condition and spacious enough to accommodate at least three vehicles. The front of the house features a roomy deck, large enough for a six-person coffee table—ideal for relaxing mornings or evening gatherings. Step inside and you'll find a bright and welcoming living room, seamlessly connected to the kitchen. The space is bathed in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen boasts natural wood cabinetry that pairs perfectly with sleek black appliances finished with stainless steel accents. Also on the main floor is a full bathroom and two bedrooms. Originally designed with three bedrooms, the current layout combines two of them into one larger space by removing the partition wall. However, both original entry doors remain, making it easy and cost-effective to restore the third bedroom if desired. High-quality laminate flooring extends throughout the first floor, with cozy carpeting in the bedrooms. Access to the basement is through the kitchen. Downstairs, you’ll discover a spacious family room with a natural wood fireplace—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The basement also features several additional rooms, including one set up as an extra bedroom, a utility room with ample storage, and a dedicated laundry area. From the kitchen, step into a large sunroom that overlooks the expansive backyard—an ideal space for lively gatherings with friends or quiet family time. The backyard is flat and rectangular, free of rocks, uneven terrain, or drainage issues. In the far right corner sits a generous shed, and a gate opposite the shed allows for vehicle access right up to it. This home offers the rare combination of a peaceful setting with easy access to major highways and local amenities—without any noise pollution. Don’t miss your chance to view this unique property. Schedule your showing today—this one won’t last long!
