Description
Showings start Friday on this spacious, 3 story Manayunk home. 157 Fountain had a major renovation in 2019 and has been thoughtfully updated by the current homeowners. Unlike most Manayunk offerings, this property does not share walls, so windows abound, and you will be wowed by the amount of light this home gets at all hours of the day. The first floor boasts an open concept main living space with LVP floors, a dining area, a powder room, and a bright, airy kitchen. Exit out the back door to enjoy the large fully fenced yard with a patio and giant storage shed ideal for storing gardening accoutrement. The second floor boasts two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The bonus third floor has a loft area ideal for work from home and gym or a den, PLUS a third bedroom! You'll love the space and comfort this 3rd floor provides. As if you didn't have enough space upstairs, the home also has a large unfinished basement. Store your stuff, or finish the basement for another sizable living space. The choice is yours. With new electric, roof, and kitchen (2019), there is just not a lot to do from a home improvement standpoint. That puts money in your pocket for paint, decor and the fun things that make a home your own. And, of course, there's the location! Manayunk has it all! Shopping, bars, restaurants, events, playgrounds and more. 157 Fountain is just a half block from the Fountain Street steps with direct access to the Schuykill River Trail for biking, jogging, and walking. The home is about a ten minute walk to Main Street and a five minute walk to the Ivy Ridge regional rail stop. It also tends to have easy street parking, a rarity in Manayunk. Make this home yours before someone else scoops up this well priced gem.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
