36 N Linden Ave, Upper Darby, PA 19082

Welcome to 36 N Linden Avenue, an incredibly well-maintained 3 bed, 1.5 bath Dutch Colonial in the Kirkland neighborhood of the highly sought-after Upper Darby School District! With over $55,000 in recent renovations, including the roof (2020), gutters (2020), chimney relining & repair (2018), bathroom (2018), full house of windows (2015), heating system (2015), water heater (2010), this home will be worry free for years. Set on a quiet tree-lined street in an established neighborhood that is centrally located near the junction of routes 1 and 3, walkable to public transportation, only 15 minutes to University City and under 30 minutes to the airport. As you enter the front door, your eye is immediately drawn to the original woodwork gracing this 1940 home. Despite every window being recently replaced, the original molding has been preserved and restored. The entry opens to an expansive living room featuring a stone wood-burning fireplace which has recently been relined so it will be ready to go when the cold weather returns. At over 23 feet across, there is room for multiple seating areas…one in front of the fire, another for TV viewing. There are windows along three walls so there is lots of natural light, a unique characteristic for a home of this age. There is an additional door leading to the expansive front porch. Imagine having coffee on a Sunday morning, reading the paper, or chatting with your new neighbors! Open to the living room is a huge dining room for family dinners or entertaining at the holidays. This room has a long history of hosting gatherings and yours could be next! It features custom built-in corner cabinetry and like the living room, features the original hardwood floors and recently added recessed LED lighting. The oversized kitchen is expanded to include a huge breakfast bar. With tons of cabinets for storage, plus a pantry, acres of counterspace and a coffee bar, there is no shortage of storage or workspace. There are also some custom touches like the spice rack, moveable island and built-ins along the windows which can be used for breakfast in the morning and homework in the afternoon! Access off the kitchen to the deck means a glass of wine on a summer evening, while the grill is going. Heading upstairs, take a moment to appreciate the detail in the woodwork along the way. At the top of the stairs the primary bedroom is bright and spacious and offers a generous sized closet. Two additional large bedrooms are just down the hall, one of which has stairs to the attic which offers TONS of storage. All three bedrooms and the hall feature the original hardwood floors, portions of which are presently carpeted. The main bath was recently retiled and is ready to go. This level is topped off by a lovely home office with expansive windows looking out to the trees. You will feel like you’re working in treehouse! Heading downstairs, a full finished basement would make a great entertaining space, play area or additional office space. A built-in bar with wine cooler and mini fridge will make entertaining a breeze. There are built in cabinets for all the electronics, a built-in bar with wine cooler and mini fridge a large freezer, plus a powder room….all of which means you won’t need to leave and risk missing a second of the Eagles game! Outside there is a beautifully shaded grassy area off the deck, a single car garage, and a long driveway which means parking for up to six cars!
