Description

Versatile Raised Ranch in Desirable Lexington Park â€“ 4 Bedroom Potential! Welcome to 8223 Colfax Street â€“ a spacious and thoughtfully updated raised ranch located in the heart of Lexington Park. This stone-front twin offers incredible flexibility with its layout, featuring three bedrooms and two full baths, with the potential to easily convert back to a four-bedroom home. Originally designed with three bedrooms on the main level, the current owners combined two to create a generous primary suite complete with a custom closet system. If needed, converting the space back to a fourth bedroom is simple and practical. The lower level includes an additional finished room, ideal for a guest bedroom, office, or playroom. The main floor showcases gleaming hardwood floors, a sun-filled living room, and a large eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, tiled flooring, and abundant cabinet space. The finished lower level offers a spacious living area perfect for entertaining or relaxing, a stylish full bathroom, a laundry and storage area with built-in shelving, and walkout access to the backyard. Additional features include updated flooring, lighting, and bathrooms, a private driveway with ample parking, a fenced rear yard with patio space for outdoor enjoyment, and a prime location just minutes from Pennypack Park, shopping, and public transportation. Join us for a Grand Opening Open House on Saturday, May 4th from 1â€“3 PM. Come see everything this fantastic home has to offer!

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
