Homeowners whose jobs involve heavy tools and machinery may have to make a choice between getting a separate studio or a different home.<\/p>\n
For Joe Carlough and Katie Haegele, writers and musicians who also cut vinyl records, the second option made sense.<\/p>\n
So they are leaving their East Falls<\/a> home for a larger one in Swarthmore<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cWe were very attached to that house,\u201d Haegele said, but there just wasn\u2019t enough room in East Falls.<\/p>\n The 1,752-square-foot house has four bedrooms and 2\u00bd bathrooms.<\/p>\n Recent maintenance updates include a gas-fired 40-gallon hot water heater, washer, and dryer in 2025; a Whirlpool dishwasher in 2024; basement waterproofing in 2023; re-rubbering and resealing the roof in 2021, and a new central air and heating system in 2020. <\/p>\n On the first floor, the living room has hardwood floors and 12-foot ceilings, with space that could be used for a dining area. <\/p>\n The eat-in kitchen has a gas range, built-in microwave, granite counter space, slate floors, and a deep sink.<\/p>\n French doors lead to the backyard and a separate back door leads to a locked alleyway. There are heated floors in a half bathroom.<\/p>\n The second floor has the primary bedroom. An en suite bathroom has two vanities, an oversized tile surround shower, and privacy windows. A second room can be used as a bedroom or an office.<\/p>\n The third floor has two more bedrooms, each with ample closet space, and a hall bathroom with tile flooring and shower over tub. <\/p>\n There is storage space in the unfinished, sealed basement.<\/p>\n The house is close to the East Falls Regional Rail station on the Norristown<\/a> Line, Kelly Drive, the Schuylkill<\/a> River Trail, and the East Falls campus of Thomas Jefferson University<\/a>.<\/p>\n It is listed by<\/a> Jenn Flynn of BHHS Fox & Roach Chestnut Hill<\/a> for $419,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to article \u2022\u00a00:00 min Homeowners whose jobs involve heavy tools and machinery may have to make a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[120918,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-291597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-east-falls-home-for-sale-updates","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
