Welcome home to 5702 Overbook Avenue. This 1925 colonial pairs contemporary design with historic charm in an unbeatable location - just steps from St Joseph's University. Well-situated between the Maguire Wolfington Center grounds opposite the property, and an expansive and tree-hidden yard in the rear, this home is complemented by nature in every direction.

Upon crossing the threshold through the bold, maroon front door, the home reveals itself as stately, bright and generously sized. A large and airy entryway greets you, and a wide staircase centers the home. At the heart of the living room to the right, an original fireplace and mantle are encased, at both sides, by custom built-in shelving. This spacious, sunny living room lends itself to large furniture and large gatherings alike.

The dining room does the same at the opposite side of the entryway with room to fit a table for 10 - perfect for the upcoming holidays. Adjoined by a breakfast bar with seating for 3, the contemporary kitchen is well-equipped for any chef - with stainless steel appliances, shaker cabinets and ample granite countertop space.

Toward the back of the home on the main floor, you'll find its first bedroom and full bathroom, perfect for guest accommodations, or as a sunny office. The bedroom is spacious, with ample corner sunlight, a closet and views of the lush, green backyard. The bathroom features a glass shower door, and custom tile throughout. Head out the back door to a path leading to the garage and catch a view of the expansive yard, prime for clubhouses, barbecues, swing sets or gardens. Back inside, head down to the full basement - dry for storage, with laundry and mechanicals at one side, and a more finished room, with tile floors, 2 well-sized windows, and the home's second fireplace at the other. This room becomes a warm and comfortable finished basement with very little work.

Upstairs on the second floor, a grand landing is complimented by a window that lends light to both floors. The 2nd bedroom comfortably fits a queen bed, end table and dresser. It also features a closet, and built-in storage - painted the same blue used by the previous owner - a nod to the home's past.

The 3rd bedroom features a tucked away arch element that perfectly frames a king bed and more. It too, features a deep closet and is conducive to multiple furniture arrangements. The second bath is simple, and largely unchanged other than its newly tiled floor - with lovely neutral wall tile, full tub, and a timeless medicine cabinet with an etched mirror. Just outside, a convenient linen closet for all your bathroom storage needs.

The king-sized primary suite boasts 3 windows, 3 large closets, and a built-in desk. Its en-suite bath is custom tiled with a shower stall and glass shower door. Isolated from the other bedrooms and with views of 3 sides of the home, this bedroom leaves little to want.

The home was extensively renovated in 2015, including beautifully refinished hardwood floors, a new boiler, most plumbing and a full rewire - please see the list of newer upgrades and maintenance items. Parking for 5 vehicles and a garage, which, with renovation, adds a great deal of value and function to the property. 10 closets, a large, dry basement and an attic, mean you'll never want for storage.
