Welcome to 520 Overlook Road, a bright and comfortable twin on a quiet block in Roxborough. This well-kept home offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and efficient double-paned windows throughout. Hardwood floors bring warmth to the main level, where sunlight fills the living room and open dining area. The kitchen is clean and functional, with plenty of potential for a future renovation tailored to your taste. Upstairs, you’ll find three well-lit bedrooms and a full hall bath—both in solid condition and ready for modern updates. The lower level provides practical utility space, including laundry, storage, and walkout access to the rear of the property. A newer furnace (installed in 2023) adds peace of mind, and the garage plus driveway offer sought-after off-street parking. Recreation and convenience are key here: just .5 miles to the Wissahickon Gorgas Lane Trailhead, .2 miles to Gorgas Memorial Park, and .9 miles to Ivy Ridge Station for an easy commute. Ridge Avenue’s shops, dining, and neighborhood staples sit only minutes away. Solid, comfortable, and well located, 520 Overlook Road offers a valuable opportunity to settle into one of Northwest Philadelphia’s most accessible and recreation-rich pockets—while adding your own updates over time.
