This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has been lovingly cared for by its longtime owner and is brimming with potential.

The eat-in kitchen has charming vintage flair and awaits your personal touch for an easy update to modern standards. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortably sized bedrooms and a full hall bath. On the lower level, there’s a cozy finished space ideal for a den, office, or playroom. An easily accessible attic provides generous storage options, perfect for holiday décor, keepsakes, or anything you want out of sight but within reach. And yes, there is an additional toilet in the laundry area, which is not a true half bath. While this lower, level “half bath” is not enclosed and does not include a separate sink, it adds utility and convenience and could be creatively upgraded for future value. (The laundry tub is located right there.) Beyond the interior, the home features a beautifully maintained rear yard and an expansive covered patio that’s perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. Mature landscaping and a manicured lawn add to the home's curb appeal, while a crawl space offers plenty of additional storage. Though the home retains much of its original character and would benefit from cosmetic updates, the bones are strong, and the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, investor, or someone looking to personalize your forever home in a beloved Philadelphia neighborhood, this is your chance. Don’t miss out on this well-built home in one of the city’s most sought-after areas. Schedule your showing today and envision the future at 8570 Lykens Lane!
