Professional design. Timeless finishes. Lush greenspaces. Convenience of both city and suburban amenities. Welcome home to the meticulously maintained 473 Flamingo St, a gorgeous stone home set in the heart of Upper Roxborough. This 3 bed, 1.5 bath home stands out from the rest with its luxury finishes and original character throughout. Owned by an interior designer, this one of a kind property has been featured in Philly Mag and Living Etc. As you approach the property, you’ll be greeted by the mature front garden that offers both privacy to the home and year-round visual interest from the array of perennials and evergreens. The front door is framed by an original arched sunburst window transom. The enclosed front porch is a lovely spot to enjoy views of the garden no matter the weather. Continuing to the main level, you will notice the stunning original hardwood floors with a unique inlay pattern that are featured throughout the entire home. One of the most spectacular features of this property is the abundant natural light it receives through its many East facing windows. The living room windows offer deep window sills and line the entire perimeter, framing the room with beautiful views of foliage and bringing the outdoors in. Custom linen drapes line the windows. The kitchen and dining room are an entertainer’s dream, with an open concept and ample space for hosting. The custom-designed kitchen features luxury Calacatta Caldia marble countertops with inset drainboard, a porcelain sink, unlacquered brass designer faucets & cabinet knobs, alongside stainless steel appliances. A convenient back mudroom and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the serene primary bedroom envelops you in its color drenched walls that seamlessly blend with a custom-made contemporary radiator cover. The second level includes a charming full bathroom, sizable 2nd bedroom, and a third bedroom currently outfitted as a dressing room with a custom built-in closet system. Outside is a fully fenced grassy backyard with a lovely patio space. The home is completed with a partially finished two-car garage, currently used as a studio space, offering the option for a great bonus space for a hobbyist or simply extra storage and covered parking. The extra long driveway comfortably fits up to four vehicles. Lastly, the property also offers a full unfinished basement with laundry and an abundance of storage space, and a bonus exterior storage shed space accessible underneath the back door stairs. This location offers suburban conveniences with nearby Ivy Ridge and Andorra Shopping Centers, along with the ability to easily escape to nature, with close proximity to several Wissahickon Valley Park trailhead entrances, the Upper Roxborough Reservoir Preserve, and Schuylkill Center walking trails. Both Chestnut Hill and Manayunk are less than a 10 minute drive, and the Ivy Ridge Regional Rail stop is a five minute drive, allowing for a quick 20 minute train ride to Center City.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
