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.
