About This Property

Location, location, location!

Welcome to 1408 Lovering Avenue, a charming home in a rarely available location immediately

across from Brandywine Park in the desirable Trolley Square neighborhood, walkable to restaurants

and pubs, coffee shops and dog parks, art galleries and museums, and even a grocery store, this

location is hard to beat!

Overlook Brandywine Park from all three levels of this wonderful twin starting with expansive views

from the lovely front sunroom with windows on three sides! Beautiful hardwood floors extend from

the sunroom through the living room and into the dining room, with French doors separating the

sunroom from the living room. The living room has a brick wood-burning fireplace flanked by two

multi-light windows with built-in bookcases beneath each window. Off the living room is the formal

dining room with a double depth closet, built-in corner cabinets and a large row of windows

overlooking the back yard. The cheerful kitchen and sunlit breakfast nook to allow for more casual

dining if that is preferred.

The second floor boasts a full bathroom and three bedrooms. The bathroom has a shower/tub

combo with original subway tile walls, period light fixtures, and a large built-in cupboard. The hall has

a large linen closet with custom built-ins, original to the home. The front bedroom (overlooking

Brandywine Park) has a double-depth closet; the second bedroom (overlooking the back yard) has a

double-depth closet; and the third bedroom, often used as an office, also leads to the second floor

screened porch overlooking the back yard. The third floor features a bathroom (overlooking

Brandywine Park) with a ball-and-claw tub, and an oversized bedroom (overlooking Brandywine Park)

with two regular closets and an elongated enclosed storage closet.

The large, unfinished basement hosts the laundry with a clothes washer and dryer, a laundry sink and

a built-in folding table, as well as large built-in work bench, an additional storage room, and a

separate water closet.  The large, fenced, multi-level backyard has various spaces to grill, dine,

relax, and entertain.

Valuable bonus features of this home include hardwood floors in most rooms, newer architectural

shingle main roof and new roofs on the porches as well as an impressive rear gazebo, draped in

spectacular wisteria each spring.

This home is perfect for dog lovers, nature lovers, or just those who appreciate this valuable Trolley

Square location. Take advantage of Brandywine Park's walking and biking trails, annual festivals both

in the park and surrounding neighborhood (Greek, Italian, etc.) and easily walk to Trolley Square for

it's fun-filled day and nightlife. This home also offers easy access to I-95 for commuting both North to

Philadelphia and South to Newark and Aberdeen.
