Welcome to Blue Bell Hill - where history meets charm! Tucked away on a quiet one-way street in one of Philadelphia's most unique and storied neighborhoods, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath twin invites you to enjoy city living wrapped in small-town tranquility. Just steps from Wissahickon Valley Trails and Fairmount Park, you'll be surrounded by greenery, bird song, and historic architecture - yet minutes from Center City. Inside, the home's character shines through with its formal living and dining rooms, original pine floors, and timeless details. The heart of the first floor is a sunny, oversized back room - perfect as a family room, rec room, or creative studio - with newer sliding glass doors opening to a lush, storybook garden. Roses, perennials, and mature plantings attract butterflies and birds, creating a private sanctuary that feels miles from the city bustle. The efficient kitchen offers updated cabinetry and appliances, and the added first-floor half bath is a welcome modern convenience. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom, a second bedroom ideal for guests or a home office, and a full bath. A full unfinished basement offers plenty of storage. With its newer kitchen and unbeatable location, this home is ready to welcome its next chapter. Step inside, take a seat in the garden, and see why Blue Bell Hill is one of Philadelphia's best-kept secrets.
