Tucked away in the tranquil neighborhood of Andorra and steps from the Wissahickon forest, is 8716 Wissahickon - a light-filled, sleek 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single-family home with a European vibe. Upon entering, you're greeted by a charming sunroom that opens up to a spacious living room with beautiful hardwood floors. The open-concept design seamlessly integrates the living areas, creating an inviting space for relaxation and entertainment. A renovated eat-in kitchen boasts white cabinetry, wood countertops, and a farmhouse sink. The true highlight of this home is the stunning sunroom, with floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding doors, and an electric fireplace. This sunroom offers a fantastic view of the large, landscaped backyard, complete with a Trex patio, sculptural fountain, and raised garden beds. It's an ideal space for entertaining, playing, and gardening. Off of the sunroom is a unique powder room equipped with a showerhead. Constructed with waterproof materials, this versatile room is perfect for dog washing and can handle splashes without any worry. This could also make it possible to convert the room to a main floor bedroom suite, if needed. A short flight of stairs leads to two spacious bedrooms, one currently used as an office, and a renovated bathroom with tub/shower. Both bedrooms feature huge double closets, providing ample storage space. A few steps further up, you'll find an optional fourth bedroom, office, exercise room, or playroom. The fourth floor would make a perfect primary suite with its own newer full bathroom with a shower. The unfinished basement, with its high ceilings, offers great potential for storage, a workout space or a game of ping pong. No parking worries with a one-car detached garage. Recent upgrades include a brand-new roof installed in June 2024, complete with a 10-year transferable warranty, and new windows on the second and third floors. This home's location is unparalleled; just a three-minute walk to Wissahickon Park, the Houston Playground/Recreation Center, and the Courtesy Stables. A seven-minute drive takes you to Chestnut Hill, or you can access the trailhead a block away and reach Chestnut Hill or Mt. Airy via the scenic forest trails. The Andorra Shopping Center, with its grocery and department stores, as well as restaurants, is within walking distance. Bus and train service to Center City and easy access to major highways, the Turnpike, Northwest Philadelphia, and the surrounding suburbs, makes this an exceptionally convenient and desirable location. 8716 Wissahickon is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle, offering comfort, convenience, and a connection to nature in the heart of Andorra.

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.
