Property Description
Welcome to 1241 Cornell Avenue – A Beautifully Updated Stone Home in the Heart of Drexel Hill
Experience timeless charm blended seamlessly with modern updates in this classic 1930s stone colonial, located in one of Drexel Hill's most desirable neighborhoods. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving its original character — including stunning refinished hardwood floors throughout, with wide plank on the first floor and elegant parquet design on the second.
Step onto the inviting covered front porch before entering into the center hall layout that anchors this spacious home. The renovated kitchen is the heart of the main level, featuring crisp white cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, and a peninsula island with seating for three — perfect for casual dining or entertaining. The open concept flow into the dining room makes this space feel both airy and functional.
Across the center hall, unwind in the large family room, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and all-new recessed lighting. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, each with ceiling fan/light combos, ample closet space, and access to a pull-down attic for extra storage. The primary suite includes a beautifully tiled stall shower, while the hall bath features a full tub/shower combination, also with tiled walls.
The partially finished basement provides additional living space with a brick-surround fireplace, recessed lighting, and durable laminate flooring — perfect for a playroom, office, or media area. The unfinished portion includes the half bath, laundry, and mechanical room.
Additional upgrades include, Brand new dual-zone Central A/C, New windows throughout, 200 Amp electrical service, All new gutters and downspouts, Built-in garage
1241 Cornell has all of the benefits of today's features in an original stone home from the 1930s, that was previously owned by the same family for 63 years. They truly do not make them like this anymore, a rare find in an incredible location. NOTE: Some photos are virtually staged; Listing Agent has ownership and financial interest in this property.
