Rarely does a home this size come to market in Yeadon, and rarely with bones this good. This stately 4 bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath, stone and brick single sits on nearly a quarter acre, offering 2,654 square feet of living space, including a finished basement and an attached garage. Plus, a new roof was put on in 2024, meaning one of the biggest-ticket items is already done. This combination is genuinely hard to find at this price point in Yeadon. The main living areas flow naturally from a generous living room with a fireplace through to the dining room, all freshly painted in 2025 and anchored by hardwood floors throughout, intact and ready for you to refinish to your own taste. The 20 years old kitchen offers good bones for a buyer ready to put their own stamp on it. Four bedrooms upstairs provide ample room for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. The finished basement adds a full level of flexible living space: playroom, gym, home office, or media room. The rear entry is tiled and the attached single-car garage rounds out the practical package. Outside, the exterior speaks for itself, classic stone and brick construction built to last. The heating system runs on oil with infrastructure already in place for electric conversion, offering future flexibility without the urgency. This home is priced for the buyer who recognizes value, appreciates solid construction, and wants the space and lot size that newer, smaller homes simply can't offer. One showing and you'll understand why homes like this don't last. The owner has completed the home inspection in July 2026. The full report is available.

Welcome Home: A Spacious Yeadon Twin with Room to Grow Set on a friendly street in Yeadon, this spacious 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is the kind of place you picture when you close your eyes and imagine "home." Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, it offers the rare combination of classic charm and modern peace of mind — all wrapped up in a location that puts nature, community, and convenience right outside your door. Pull into the extended driveway and you'll immediately notice there's room here — room for guests, room for extra vehicles, room to breathe. A large 2-car detached garage offers space for parking, storage, a workshop, or a hobbyist's dream setup. Out front, a well-kept front yard sets a warm tone before you even reach the door, while a welcoming porch invites you to slow down. Picture morning coffee on that porch as the neighborhood wakes up, or an evening spent waving to neighbors walking by. This home has been very well maintained, and it shows — but what really sets it apart is what's been upgraded beneath the surface. Recent improvements to the electrical, plumbing, and heating systems mean you get to enjoy the character of a classic twin home without inheriting the headaches. This is a home that's ready to be lived in. From room-to-room, rich hardwood floors flow throughout, adding warmth, character, and timeless style to every space. With four sizeable bedrooms, this home adapts easily to whatever your household needs. The primary bedroom offers a quiet retreat at the end of the day — a place for a cozy reading chair in the corner and a good night's sleep. A second bedroom could serve as a nursery, filled with soft morning light, or a guest room ready to welcome visiting family for the holidays. A third bedroom might become a home office for remote work, complete with a desk facing the window, or a playroom overflowing with toys and imagination. The fourth bedroom adds real flexibility — envision it as a teenager's personal space, a dedicated workout room, or a craft and hobby studio for weekend projects. For a growing family, four bedrooms means everyone gets their own space. For an individual or couple, it means room for a home office, a guest suite, and a hobby room — all under one roof. A washer and dryer are included, so laundry day is one less thing to plan for — just settle in and get started. Step out back to your own private backyard — a blank canvas for whatever you envision. Imagine summer barbecues with family gathered around the grill, a garden bed bursting with tomatoes and flowers, or simply a quiet patch where kids and pets can play while you relax nearby. Beyond the front door, this home places you within walking distance of the best of Yeadon and the surrounding area: Area parks and outdoor recreation for weekend adventures and after-school play; Libraries for quiet afternoons and story-time visits; Swim clubs for hot summer days spent poolside; Scenic trails for morning walks, evening jogs, or a peaceful bike ride; Transportation for an easy commute into the city or beyond. Whether you're raising a family that loves the outdoors, working from home and craving green space nearby, or simply looking for a walkable, community-oriented neighborhood, this location delivers. This Yeadon twin home offers space, comfort, and genuine peace of mind — from its hardwood floors and upgraded systems to its two-car garage and unbeatable location. It's a home ready to hold birthday parties on the porch, quiet Sunday mornings in the kitchen, and years of memories still to come. Come see it for yourself, because a home this warm, spacious, and move-in ready doesn't come along often!!
