Property details
About 2937 S Sydenham St
This 3-bedroom, 1.1 bath jewel box is located West of Broad near FDR Park on a pristine block. It was lovely when the Sellers bought it, and they’ve been perfecting it ever since. Step up onto the front porch, past the lush window boxes and personal shade tree maintained by the Sports Complex. Enter into a charming living room with real oak floors. A powder room with a surprise makes life SO much more enjoyable. Continue on to the kitchen with gleaming stone floors and many cabinets. A lush garden with custom patio panel flooring, planter boxes and mood lighting is just the place for a dinner al fresco. Upstairs you will find a large, front bedroom, smaller middle child’s room/office with bookshelves, and a rear bedroom, all with ample closets. The bedrooms share a sun-filled marble bathroom with a skylight and a spicy shower fixture. Then the basement is fully finished with LVT floors and a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. The elaborate list of goodies includes: automatic watering systems for the window boxes and rear garden help your plants flourish, a quality rear glass door brings sunshine into the kitchen, custom storm doors with interior screens front and back, custom honeycomb window blinds throughout, kitchen under-sink water filter, LED lighting throughout with smart dimmers, NEST thermometer, 2-year old roof, a wired for Verizon Fios, to mention a few. Located within walking distance to the sports complex stadiums and FDR park, and around the corner from the beautiful Marconi Plaza. The Broad Street Line, multiple bus routes and the airport are ridiculously close by. Finally, an unusual cherry on top is the property is located in a special service zone where street sweepers come by weekly, the tree is maintained, leaves are picked up, occasional paper shredding events, and you receive a copy of the Sports Complex Newsletter.
