In the Gladstone Manor section of Historic Lansdowne Borough, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath split-level home offers 1,580 square feet of light-filled space and direct access to Marlyn Park. Built in 1955, the home pairs mid-century character with a flexible layout designed for everyday living.
Step inside to an open living and dining area where oversized picture windows at both the front and rear frame the changing seasons and fill the space with natural light. Hardwood floors extend across the main and upper levels, adding warmth. The dining area opens to a covered rear porch, creating an easy rhythm between indoor gatherings and outdoor evenings overlooking the fenced backyard and parkland beyond. The eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and room to settle in over morning coffee.
Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms offer adaptable space for rest, work, or creative pursuits. Two bedrooms are especially large, while huge windows brighten each room throughout the day. The renovated full bath blends ceramic tile, tumbled stone, and a granite-topped vanity for a clean, timeless look. Hall linen storage and attic access add practical convenience.
The lower level expands your options with a finished flex space currently used as a bedroom, complete with luxury vinyl plank flooring, a renovated powder room, and a side door leading to the fenced yard. Whether imagined as a den, office, studio, or recreation space, this level adds valuable versatility. A laundry and storage area, mechanical closet, and interior access to the attached garage (currently storage but could be easily converted back to garage use) complete the home. The private driveway accommodates two vehicles.
The fenced backyard connects directly to Marlyn Park, offering wooded views and open green space without rear-facing homes. The setting feels connected to nature while remaining close to daily essentials.
While you enjoy loads of privacy in a woodsy setting, this location is close to literally everything and unmatched for Commuter Convenience:
Two SEPTA Regional Rail stations nearby (one within walking distance) with direct access to University City, UPenn, and Center City Philadelphia . Close to Lansdowne Swim Club, the Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra, the newly-renovated Lansdowne Theater showcasing national acts, amazing Boys' and Girls’ Clubs, the Landsdowne Farmer's Market, plus arts, music, and dining venues both here and in the Baltimore Avenue shopping corridor. Minutes to Hoffman Park and local trails . Easy drive to Drexel, Penn, Center City, and Philadelphia International Airport.
If you’re looking for a move-in ready home with room to personalize, park views, outdoor space, and strong commuter access in a vibrant, walkable community, this is one to see.
