3469 Midvale Avenue is a gorgeous example of the 1930s Tudor East Falls Historic District, bursting with curb appeal and stunning architectural details. When you open the heavy oak front door and walk into the main living space, your eyes are immediately drawn to the dramatic cathedral ceilings with dark wood beams and the spacious balcony above the wood-burning fireplace. The balcony overlooks the entire living room and faces incredible 2-story leaded-glass windows that flood the space with natural light, gleaming off of the newly refinished hardwood floors. From the living room, there is an arched entryway leading to the formal dining room with access to the kitchen. The kitchen has a wine fridge, dishwasher, granite countertops and ample cabinet space, in addition to a large, separate built-in panty. Upstairs on the 2nd floor, the primary bedroom has an ensuite bath and french doors leading to a sizable deck facing the rear of the property. On the 3rd floor there are 2 additional bedrooms and a shared hallway bathroom. The finished basement provides extra living space with original knotty pine walls, a cedar closet and a powder room. Beyond that is the laundry area and mechanicals, with bonus space for whatever your needs may be. The basement and the kitchen both provide access to the rear of the property with an attached, 1-car garage and additional parking. Located within walking distance to local shops and dining, and the East Falls SEPTA Regional Rail station, while also a quick drive into Center City, makes this home a must-see for those seeking a blend of historic charm and urban convenience.
